    So we’re not mountain neighbors anymore? Bummer :pout:

    Wait did you change your rear gear ratio?

    Place in Riverside will possibly lead to grenading your entire front axle. Ran 2 group buys for them, way too many issues. Broken rings, pinions, third members exploded, CV axles leaking, boots nicked and leaking, overtorqued bolts...Be wary

    Only the rear, money got tight, and haven't really got the feel too much, did the break on procedure, and just drove it down to sd, I definitely notice the rpm's are a lot higher, and me not knowing much about dogs somehow I put it back in and it's the locker was in locked position lol
