I guess I figured out the sleeping situation!

 

That looks comfy as shit

 

​

 

Got the "just left Hawaii and now I'm 'too-sick-to-work'" blues? Or did you spend 7 hours cooped on airplanes with sick people and come down with the zombie virus?

 

My head feels like a watermelon and my chest is on fire.

 

Sounds like zombie virus all right, and Chad is "patient zero." Shoot on sight. Got it, thanks for the heads up.

Drink some chicken broth and get some sleep.

 

What did i miss? Where is the RTT?

 

Dibs on the new wheels.

 

Still got the RTT, but looked for a cheap and quick solution so I don't have to break camp everyday at Jambo.

That will be enough for my drunk ass to crash at night

 

Ah, the old "internally administered lead pill" treatment. Very effective, are you a doctor?

Get better @ChadsPride! That truck ain't gonna drive itself.

 

Thanks yall, I feel terrible right now.

 

So I called tom woods yesterday, guy answered the phone named "josh" kinda was a dick but he had more of a "I can't be bothered by you" attitude. Anyways theres a thred on here called "single piece drive shaft=no more vibes" or something like that. So I quoted OP to ask if the measurments were right for all DCSB 2nd gens, and I forgot about that pesky t-case, then somebody in thread said they tried to get a 2wd length one made and they wouldn't do it... So I'm gonna call later today and see if thats the case or not. Anybody else know of any other sollutions other than replacing it with an oem shaft?

 

Try a different shop

 

gonna do some looking today. how was HI bro?

 

Amazing to say the least, would do it again in a heartbeat.

 

I honestly doubt the shaft itself is the issue. More like a CSB or one of the U joints.

 

And that's what the mechanic had said, he also said that replacing just some parts likely won't fix the entire issue. He thinks it may be knocked out of balance as well.

 

Which island were you on? Was it more of a resort style vacation?

 

Well, if you buy the shaft it won't come with the CSB (which is probably your main issue).

 

Thats the carrier bearing right?
