    If you are doing any sort of a lift then the flexdisc coupler on rear driveshaft needs replacing with unijoint , as they dont last long , same as discos . JMHE

    You are feeding the sickness. I really want to build up a P38 for the trails.

    I think all the North American trucks came with ujoints. Micro cat is telling me only the diesels with an auto box had the rotoflex

    I'm sorry... You are infected...

    The P38 is great on the trail. Here are a few pics in Death Valley last month:

    My buddy blew-out his brandnew GenIII airsprings just before the first obstacle. No more EAS for us...

    yes...yes... I know. We learned the hard way...

    We converted my buddy's to coils a few weeks ago with the Arnott kit and it sits at offroad height. We need to shim the front a bit since he has dual-batteries and extra armor weighing things down. I am holding out for some used springs/shocks from a friend and will be installing them this summer.

    I do miss my parents old P38, I was always impressed with the trail manners it had. I love my RRC and will not get rid of it. So to convince the wife is the hard part. I have enjoyed your pics with your rig.
