    Idk, like I said, it's just a 1000cc quad with a jeep body (and tracks in that video).

    Peck Bros are fun to watch because of their on-screen dynamic but their hype skills are much stronger than their fab skills in my opinion.

    Grind Hard's fab work is so far out there I don't even know of anyone to compare them to. They built this chassis and suspension from scratch.

    I mean I like it when they keep the mini Jeeps truer to the original and just push em hard that way, with a few mods. I get the temptation to push the limit though.

    Yall think it’s worth keeping my old known-good 8.4” axle around? Or sell it to lower the locker swap cost? Got it sitting outside under a tarp, so it’s not really taking any space up. Few hundred $ never hurts though
    At least keeping it through a trip end of next month to be safe, not sure about past that though.

    8.4" axles are less desirable than e-locker axles. That means two things:

    1) It'll be easier to find an 8.4" than an 8" in a junkyard if you need it for some reason (this applies to axle housings/shafts only; 8.4" diffs often get pulled out of axles)
    2) It'll be harder/less profitable to sell an 8.4" than an 8"

    Once you've driven on your new axle enough to feel confident in it I don't see much reason to keep the old one. If you break it you'll probably want to fix/replace it with 8" parts anyway.

    my Driverside window froze up this morning ~1" open on this coldest day in KY in many many years (-4F), could not get it to go up or down, probably a broken wire...

    I have never considered the local raptors & this one random built Tundra for sale local more than today.

    Financially I probably could if I lived a pretty modest life...

    on a statistical average, yeah its pretty cheap, especially compared to California!!

    Living in a nice area its ~800k for a house not ~$1.9M

    I'm also not half way to retirement age... so theres a lot of existing expenses that would make it a really modest life

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Man something really is up with my stomach still, don't wanna go to urgent care if I can avoid it. Not really in pain just discomfort

    So I'm pretty damn sure the words my kid's been uttering randomly is "SHIT"

    Been trying to redirect it to "sheeesh" and get him to say that instead but :bananadead:

    I second this one, especially if your Job is easy to take time off, but I would say skip urgent care and see your regular pediatrician for an "urgent" visit
