    Well it wasn’t me for once that broke something. We tried removing the driveshaft and going front wheel drive, but it kept binding up. So we removed the third member, pulled the ring gear, put it back together, resealed the diff (thankfully Adam brought the gasket maker) and filled it up with fluid. No binding issues anymore but man that diff was fucked. Both the ring and pinion were chewed up, and he even managed to take a chunk out of the carrier.

    Yeah no kidding. It pays to be prepared, that’s for sure. Would’ve been a different story otherwise.

    Definitely the most involved I’ve ever been a part of. Luckily we’re all pretty mechanically competent so it took about 90 minutes.

    Did he unexpectedly gain traction or something? That's awful!

    Work may have brought me through your neighborhood, I will pay more attention next time I'm out and about.

    Not really, just a little too much skinny pedal I guess. It was caught on video by his teenage son so I’ll share it here when I can get it from him.

    Shitty quality because he uploaded to Facebook, and then I screen recorded it and uploaded it to YouTube, but you get the idea. Bad noises.

    I've got both they are both good. I run extended bases on my 43 the 43x is barely noticeable in hand to me on its extra girth in the grip. They shoot like Glocks what more is there to tell.
