    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    Cool thanks it looks like the guys with the Inchworm don't have the rubbing problem as much unless they have moved the axle. I don't know if the Expos move the axle or not but I'll find out I'm going with the inchworm and if it contacts the gas tank I'll be modifying it to clear.

    Wow. Diff armor is on my short list.
    Looks like the alignment fixed my steering issue. The tech at firestone said my undercarriage looks like its been through hell.

    I don't think its that bad. He was talking about the link mounts, which I was going to want to beef up sometime anyway. Probably sooner than later now. And my bling skid is TOAST!!! It looks like a collard shirt when you cant stop the collar from rolling up.
    So who know how to weld in new link mounts?:D

    You should of went to a junk yard and looked for a totaled TRD and just bought the whole axle. But yeah hell hole can not be done without a rear locker we you might get in but you will not get back out.

    Thats what the plan was going to be but the TRD axle has 4.10 gears. The non TRD has 3.91 gears so my front and rear would be different and I can't afford to re gear
