    Yes.

    I wouldn't lol at the chance of your rear tires locking up going down the highway, or what damage that would cause, or just driving around with gear oil soup for that long.

    Yes, I understand sometimes it's not really an option, but you could pull the 3rd, pull the ring gear, reinstall in a couple hours give or take if you knew what you were doing. And yes, with some new oil, probably doesn't have to be much though. That would remove any chance of causing any more issues.

    They're not IMO. Maybe the gold standard in convenience, but their setups can be lacking from what I've seen.

    The last several years they've had issues with ring gear bolts backing out. Evidence shows no use of loctite on those bolts. Recently that issue looks to have been resolved, as they have been using metal locking retainers inbetween each pair of bolts.

    Fat Bottom brewery in Nashville is not bad. They're Dog friendly and have a decent burger on the menu.

    Good suggestion, in my opinion the best 3 breweries in order in Nash, which all have patios, are Bearded Iris, Smith & Lentz & Southern Grist. Happy to meet y'all at any one of them!

    I would definitely like decent suggestions like that whenever I'm in TN next. I have a fair handle on Memphis, but only got to see Nash once, and that happened to be the day before the eclipse. So naturally, I missed out on a lot of that city, due to the massive hordes of people.

    Tennessee Brew wasn’t bad either. Dog friendly as well. And the “scenery” was nice and got even better once one of those Brew tours came around.

    Well guys just made it to my parents house in one piece. Been on the road for almost 90 days. Didn’t get to see everything I wanted to see because that would take another year prolly. Trip isn’t over quite yet though. Going to help out my parents this week and try to sort out the broken truck issue and then hit the road again for a couple short trips. I have much more to ramble on about and pictures to post but right now I’m going to pass out for a few hours. Cheers!!

    Glad you made it!
    I'll message you with contact info if you have time to meet up while you're here. We live in Franklin & I'd offer some home-brewed beer on tap, but we're mid-move & took a break so we didn't have to move an active fermentation.

    Closest brewery I know of to Lawrenceburg is a brand new one my buddy just opened in Columbia called Bad Idea Brewing Co. It's a good stop for some creative beers in a cool space, as you pass by Columbia on your way up to Nash.

    Last ECGS diff I disassembled had double the amount loctite needed and an excellent set up. One of their techs may have been an issue cutting corners, but I think they are on top of their guys when there is a complaint.

    They already sent me a shipping label for the broken one. Iv always appreciated their customer service. Even if there was a problem with the set up, I’ll always support a company that understands customer service and stands by their work
