    Not sure on the diff... I'd expect the CVs to go before the diff gears broke. Oh well, these things happen. Cool trail though.

    Excellent update. Anything real tight? I had thought about joining/running in the PW.

    We passed these guys...

    Hahah, they mentioned us... and their pics are better! We had to do some shelf road dancing to get by them as we limped out.

    EDIT: The trail is too tight for a full size truck. There would be considerable body damage.

    The spiders gears in the 7.5" diffs get broken kind of easily. It's a bummer.

    Does that mean the ring and pinion are probably still good?

    Sounds good. This would be a good spot to post in.
