    Not really... haha We had a big sale at work yesterday, do my boss wanted me to park my truck out front in the rocks... So I focused on the paint the last couple of nights to make her pretty. :D

    Still very sure it's the jack shaft... Maybe tonight, I can drop the skid and take care of it. Depends how long Easter dinner goes. :) haha

    Me too, man.. I've got a couple ADD 7.5 clamshells sitting in my garage. I can easily take off one of the diff tubes, cap off the vacuum lines to the actuator, and stick a hose clamp in the actuator to convert it to "non" ADD. haha Then just switch out half tubes and replace all the seals when I'm under there....

    Ya I was very impressed in those sliders! That was a hard hit! If the buyer wants to give you less take the tires and sell to me! The zuk would be sick with 37"s!

    Fix the 4WD. It'll give you time rethink this whole 4sale thing.

    You probably already have this fixed, but when Konsta (rctoy) broke his, we just pulled the driver's cv and used something to punch the stub out from the inside.

    Just HAD to have them 37's, huh?:stirthepot::laughing:

    But really, everytime i find this in my cp with a new post i dread going in and finding that one that will say "finally sold it". Besides, you KNOW that all these broken front-end parts are just your truck telling you what you really need to do!
