    No. Friend sent that to me. I did show up later to pick up the rest of my stuff while the service manager stood there with a checklist to make sure I didn't "take or damage anything that belonged to the shop". Fucking clowns.

    Who needs either? I use that third pedal :D

    Light foot on the throttle is key with A-TRAC

    It is. It's still a true truck, with most of the goofiness of various mid size trucks worked out (it has actual headroom)

    Was gonna say the off road looks alright.

    SV is mid range. S is the stock one, although with steelies they don't look too bad imo

    Group mod day. Let's get a locker in ALF......
    .....I've never attempted but it's a job I'd tackle myself.
    .....watched some vids on a front regear and that might be where my skillset ends.

    I am quite aware of how A-TRAC works on rocks. It's what I have and I use it frequently. That was my 1st time doing any hardcore wheelin' in the snow. A-TRAC wasn't doing it's thing like it does at Moab.

    It's your turn for a diff replacement on a trip.
    Last year it was Pat.

    Just make make sure your 4×4 works after the install.

    I kinda need ALF for the week. But I will make it a point to discuss lockers with him over a beer and a campfire.
    JFC Dan!! Did you have to go there? You trying to jinx our trip? :D I haven't abused my diff, but it has seen some hard use. Right now, I can't justify spending money for something I haven't needed. I did make it to the top of that snowy hill at AVF, but a locker would have made it much, much easier.

    Some things are best to have and not need than to need and not have.

    Not to jinx you, you know me better than that.
    Do you still have your sticker that @Pixeltim made for our Moab adventure?
    I see mine every time I get into the truck.
    Mine says, " Remember Dimwit You Have To Drive This Home."

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Is there a version of that sticker that reminds me to not trade in my vehicle?
