    Aside the sleep deprivation, the first axle I had seen taken apart was when I helped supraTT take apart his Ford 9 yesterday, so I guess that's where I got it from. I'm such a retard.

    I just realized you said "dyeing" and not "painting". So you suggest dyeing it rather than painting for the valence?

    I think I've given up on the budbuilts. :anonymous: I'll beat the SOB far enough to where it's not hitting anything and call it good until I can fab up something with DOM.

    Great job on the boxing btw! :thumbsup:

    Yeah, I figured I should take them out anyway to clean the housing and check the seals (which still look good I guess).

    Seam sealer?

    Another question for you guys...

    Should I remove the front diff from the crossmember mount by the allen head on the bottom or the bolts on top?
