Ugh!

 

I don’t do gears. I just swapped my broke ass 3rd with one that wasn’t so broke ass, haha.

If you have an e locker, you can use my broke one as a core for East Coast Gear Supply. Looks like the only thing wrong is the ring and pinion which they swap anyways. It was actually in really good shape besides the break. I would just want another core back when you do the install for when I do this down the road.

Seriously this was not a fun job... But it’s done! Pretty straightforward just long. It’s fixed and now this dirty ass truck is gunna get a bath.

Gotta pull my GTI in the garage now so I can swap a strut bushing, then hopefully the truck goes back down for the long travel install!!!!

 

Hmm I need to get tires first, but I'll pm you when I get gear money

 

If you still have it by then

 

I don’t plan to sell it, just gunna keep as a spare 3rd for rebuild if needed for now. So ya! Where did you move, maybe I can bring the bench to you, I go all over.

 

I live in a place called kernville. It's like 3 hours without traffic.

 

Then I'll be leaving for the military in Jan so I'll be moving again.

 

I've been in your shoes before. Luckily I was filming this video, not driving...

Giving me flash backs... haha

That’s ballsy to drop it out on the trail! I just crawled out of there in FWD haha

 

Its easier to drive down the trail in front wheel drive without the rear wheels binding up.
Also able to drive home without a tow truck.

 

True true. I just wanted off the trail haha.

@Mike likes Tacos who did you use out there in scv?

 

@MojaveMadman do you take care of these things at your new shop?

 

Understandable but that's like saying I'm not going to try food or something.
It will come your way 1 time or another and I hope what you try is not crap.
