    I would also say the Laramie GM place. The dude I worked with first to inspect it after my accident on 287 was well... not helpful and didn't listen. But the other people I talked to there were helpful with telling me what was wrong and were courteous. I took it in over spring break last year and before I had even reached denver they were already calling me about what was wrong. He called to say that I had more than just a bent tie rod (which I told the first guy) and that it would be a little bit longer to fix. New steering knuckle, new door, new rim, and quite a few other things later and just like brand new and I can't even tell.

    They kept saying it needs to be done conventional. I kept pushing for them to just pop it the best they can.

    I have 5 years from middle school and high school of web design under my belt if you need help. I also got certified in it too somewhere along the line. OH and I also have the adobe certs for photoshop, flash, and dreamweaver. I could help you trouble shoot if needed. :)

    Looking at your picture I would think that you wouldn't run into the problems that I did with them.

    Sweet. It's been a great challenge and fun to learn for me. I wish I was a better bigger picture thinker though. I get so caught up in the smaller style details that I have a hard time getting the framework right haha... Best advice I got was draw your pages on paper, then html frame them, then style them... simple and easy step way to do it.

    aaalso, this is a sweet site.

    Thats the way I was taught. Except my drawing skills were sub par so I did a frame work on the computer.

    Good questions ^ I haven't read much on lockers because if I do do it it'l be the front since i've already go the rear stock locker which has been great so far. I wont do the front unless i've got a re-gear going on... I'll be spending money on a front bumper before i get tires that require more gears which I dont think will happen. I think i'll end up just staying on 33's with my truck for longevity sake on all my drivetrain parts since it is my dd... 33's are plenty capable as i've seen in person.

    I would just like to say that I hate having an open diff in the rear. Driving today one rear tire was on ice the other was not and when I tried to get going the one on the ice just started to spin and spin and spin. Now granted I am not a pro snow/ice driver since I come from FL but I didn't stomp the gas to go. I just eased off the clutch and gave a lil bit of gas to get going.

    That what I ended up doing. I don't have any weight in the bad right now so I think that I some of the problem. It happened when I was driving on Mitchell street what I don't think it gets plowed/salted and it doesn't get sunlight so over time the ice gets nice and smooth.

    It's a tough decision Gage... it always comes back to how you will use your truck. Which is hard to predict the future but why not just cover the bases and lock. That's what I would do. But if you really dont have the funds to do so then the decision gets easier.

    If we are in there tearing things up, might as well drop in the locker in both.

    Also i got Yeti back today. 400 bucks later it looks pretty damn good. It is about back to 98% what is was before the "incident" so I will take that. I had to twist his arm just to do it, even though he wanted to go conventional route which was $1,200. Even got a bath out of the deal.

    Are you in Laramie? I think I may have driven past your truck a couple of times this year.
