    Hahaha Come on now Chris...I have to do something to keep up with all you hardcore MODers!

    Thank you! It's a slow process but...I'll get it dialed in just right eventually.

    Love the hitch, still more useful than truck nuts...haha. how do you like the wheelers superbumps in the rear? I'm running them in front and love them. I did the dakars out back but the stock bump stops suck to say the least.

    Hahaha Truck Nuts! Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to hang those from my rear axle...

    I'm pretty pleased with the SuperBumps all around so far. Are you getting the notorious "Dakar Squeek" yet?

    Haha yeah funny you mention that, I put them on 2 days before I drove out here to cali so they have about 1600 miles on them and sound like a rusted out 1970 chevy pickup.... not much I can do while I'm out here I guess so oh well. I think the u bolt flip and superbumps are in the future though.

    Well, the new Axles certainly look different from the ones I currently have on my truck....
    The axles I have on look longer than the ones CVJ sent(we'll see after I pull them out) and the boots are completely different. I wonder if they are not OEM Axles.... that or CVJ sent me something other than what I asked for... :notsure:

    Not too long....maybe an hour. It depends on how fast you work and how much build up there is.

    Yesterday (8/9/15) I changed out the Rear Differential fluid. It was pretty dark in color so, I think soon I will be doing the Front Diff & Transfer Case.

    Ok, my brother & I installed the ECGS replacement bearing for the front diff, new Hub Assemlies & CVJ Axles.


    Some weights got knocked off the wheels when taking them off/putting them on so, I'll have to go get everything rebalanced again at a tire shop.

    Umm, pretty much... I think I still have some residual vibration coming from the front diff. That obnoxious wheel bearing squeal is finally gone though. Unfortunately now I'm smelling brakes big time as if the pads are pressed up against the rotors and the calipers are not backing off like they should when my foot is off the brakes.

    I'm going to drain the
    $29 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)
    75W-90 that I put in the front Diff and replace it with some Non-Synthetic Lucus 85W-140 like ECGS recommends, see if that makes a difference.

    My Emergency Break Light is randomly coming on when the brake is not engaged.

    So it turns out that the shop who installed my rear extended brake lines, ended up taking off one of my front lines due to not remembering which ones I wanted replaced. When the mechanic put it back on, he didn't secure it on tight enough or properly. So, as a result, it has a slow leak.
