    Got any solution for it? At this point I am about to say fuck it and open this motherfucking diff up myself and "try" to fix it. As you said, "not to bash names of the place that I bought my rear from"...I got it done from a very well reviewed and reputable shop in Santa Clara and had issues from get go. I end up taking it back to them and they supposedly "fixed it" and now I am having issues for the 3rd fucking time. I believe what is happening that they pinching that copper wire or some new guy is working at the place and not doing it right.
    I changed the break in fluid right before it hit 500 miles and followed the break in procedure and still this shiet is leaking. My fucking dual ARB compressor is turning on every 5 to 10 seconds and now fluid is leaking from the diff as of right now. Sorry, if I sound like a little bitch, but I paid lot of money for a "professional" to do it. I called them today and the shop said to bring it in and I hope they fix it this time because I am getting sick and tired of it.

    Hull mountain was / is my Shangri-La.... jelly of your attempt to summit it. My dog and I spent many, many a solo night up there in my shell/bed setup, looking over lake Pillsbury. Before the fires, though.

    Wrecked!
    Not at all, I understand your pain my rear has been the same. Pressure test it. Easy to make one or buy a persure tester.
    Better to check before tearing apart the front.

    I'm trying to get a hold of @SCSPerformance but no luck right now. I will keep you updated if I get the wheel today. If not today maybe another day, I'm not in a huge rush right now. Bumper wont be done for another week anyways.

    Holy crap. I hate Fridays!
    Lowered too Chester from Anderson then run to Costco then come to shop and work on broken shit our yard tard fucked up. Sitting down for dinner with wife and child and yard tard walks over to interrupt and proceeds to drink a bottle of fireball and a 12er. All I could do was bite my tongue and walk away. Wife went to garden and our daughter inside. Ready for yard tard removal.

    On a good note we bought a 1600 gallon water tank today for way less than we got told the first time. And a pressure system for cheaper than I was quoted. Looks like 2k gets everything and install. Beats 5300.
