    Today I did some thangs
    Adjusted rear brakes
    Changed engine oil
    Took out rad shroud and cleaned my rad off with a hose, so much mud jammed in the fins.
    Cleaned out reservoir, shroud, engine cover and some other bits. Shiney!

    For those of you who are wanting to install your own extended LT axles...

    If you're having no luck with this method...
    http://youtu.be/8A-1UREeLsw

    This technique I thought of works simple and really quick.

    Cut shaft close to the joint
    [​IMG]

    Take joint apart and remove star and cage together. Then pull the star out from the cage. This picture shows the star and cage together...
    [​IMG]

    Then set the star onto a bearing race and hammer out the stub

    Oh sorry wildcat^^

    That's a difficult decision. My Kelly's were awesome. Great in winter and very little road noise. They were great on rocks as well. I would absolutely get them again, but the thin I like about the MTRs is the Kevlar reinforce sidewalls. I never punctured a Kelly tire, but I like the idea of the beefy sidewalls . The MTRs suck ass ok ice too. The Kelly's were great. And the price was amazing for them. I almost got them in a 35". But always likes the MTR and wanted to try them.

    Thanks, exactly the kind of review I was looking for. I have a few friends with them on duramax's and they love them but was looking for a Taco owner review. I don't plan on needing the kevlar sidewalls so I think this just made my decision. :D

    I think the reason a handful of us have gone with WE over FOX quality was expected to be the same if not better. Honestly still on the same page I have heard of a lot of issues with FOX in our area as well recently things like really pre mature pitting and rusting. That could also have to do with care an maintenance. Not sure what I will run next. I have also heard rumor that because of current leaky shocks being reported to WE they are improving their seals. Could be a load of BS but that would be good of them. Not many run KING out here as I have heard they cant handle our climate changes and give in pretty fast too.

    Jamie you dirty sac of dicks! Get someone to post pictures daily. Haha instagram hates you right now. Hows the drive been for you? I might go wheeling to the city today so suck it Kokopelli hahaha.

    I've had 3 sets of Walker Evan's that have started leaking, and one that shaft became pitted. :mad:

    All have started leaking with 6,000miles of being installed.
