    I think now that I have some money in my pocket I am going to try an e-locker swap into my truck then I can atleast venture into some dirt. Since this is in technical chat I wanted to ask about the e-locker.
    Does anyone know of a right up that is about it for my exact truck. And also since I will be trying to by a complete rear end what rear gear drive should I look for? Also I saw a thing on TTORA and it was how to find out what gears are in my truck currently but I did not see the label in my door jam. Can anyone help? Sorry if im hijacking just dont wanna start a thread about this and get flamed. :bananadead:

    A set of tires or I'd stock up on stuff for routine maintenance and minor repairs. I like to have plenty of motor oil, filters, gear oil, power steering fluid, grease, wiper blades, etc on hand so I can do that stuff impulsively. My favorite time to do the tedious stuff is when I'm procrastinating. I like to check my fluid levels or grease my ujoints while I'm avoiding doing the dishes or returning my GFs calls.

    What I want more than anything is a set of 05-09 bucket seats to replace my bench but that's gonna cost more than $500.
