    Got the rear diff in over the weekend. But, the rear diff lock is stuck on. Now I have to take off the e-locker motor and play with it a little more to fix it. Oh well, pumped to be able to drive the truck again.

    Im still stock in the front, when I sell my bike I will get matching 4:88s in the front with an ARB.

    Whats the other problems?

    If I can get my front diff in time I will try to be there. Not sure though, depends if I can sell my bike. Im going to try really hard though, it sounds like its going to be fun.

    My rear locker quit engaging and it took forever to find the culprit. My compressor was spraying diff oil all over the firewall. It was clogging the air line with diff fluid. After removing the line at the bulkhead and running the compressor it blew it all out, and now it's working. :D

    Well that stinks. Glad you got it figured out. Apparently ECGS sent the diff back to me locked and i took mine apart unlocked so when i put it back together the computer thingy was confused. So now i have to pull the actuator and slide the thing over the collar to unlock it. Oh well. And my alternator just took a crap....

    It really is. First thought it was the battery, got a new one. It bogged a few days later so i took it to get tested and it wouldnt start when i got there. They told me it was the alternator. I said shit. Haha and my power steering pump has been going bad for a couple months now, im just waiting for it to go. Already got a new one though.

    But im grounded from wheeling for a while anyways, so hopefully i can get everything fixed and keep it that way for a while. Thats about the only positive.

    I havent been wheeling in a while, and it already sucks.

    About 3 months. If I can get my bike sold and have a chance at making the windrock run i will ask and probably be able to talk him into letting me go
