    The silver does and did look good. I felt like it stood out a lil to much, almost like it was waving a peeps saying " check me out bro" :D Especially being a red truck with an all black front end. Now its stealthy more :spy: looking Lol. Besides all I gots to do is use that magic paint stripper u have and those bitches be sparkling like a mirror.

    Not enough.
    Is that the one with 20" wide stacks coming out of the bed and the giant truck nuts hanging off of the giant tie shackle?

    Along with the RBP grille and zebra interior?

    Also with the devil and angle chick silhouette stickers on the rear windows?

    She started to have a little stutter or misfire at hard acceleration, so did some work. New wipers, plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, cleaned maf sensor, throttle body and corded battery. She runs great again!

    So dropped my truck off at yota masters for a lil diff love. Had a bad whine coming from the rear at anything above 45-50mph and a lower wuring or grindy sound like its from front passenger diff or wheel bearing. So I had ruled out the wheel bearing to 90% sure it was a diff bearing or something...so spoke with Eric from yota masters today and rear is regeared and passenger rear axle bearing replaced (that was supposedly replace at the hack shop that did my previous regear). They ruled out front wheel bearing right away as well, listened with stethoscope, put up on rack and drove..... and nothing? So....he said let's tackle rear, then drive and listen for front. After they found rear bearing on the passenger side, he had a possible culpurit. Put new gear set in and new bearing on axel with new seals of course. I also had him replace a sloppy ubolt, and carrier or center support bearing just to getter done :) He dropped it down, drove it and sweet silence, no whine and no noise up front either!!! :taco:


    Truck was regeared a year ago, and I've had nothing but problems since! Original guy did the rear twice cuz of noise issuses, he claimed bad gear set...BULLSHAT!

    So pumped to get truck back and finally have it run like it is supposed to! Been going crazy for so time in the dirt!!!! :goingcrazy:

    Ya he sucks for a guy who was the gear guy for conejo off road before he started his own shop. He should stick to the heeps that he does normally.

    I concur!

    Especially when you've already paid for the regear and it was just so badly a year later u have to do it again because the noise was horrid! You should see the wear pattern that the ring gear had....


    Price we pay to play :)
