    Pretty sure it got washed last night... you probably even had those pea sized rain scrub balls bouncing off of it. :D

    I need to give mine a wash inside and out. There's most definitely Moab dust in every crevice of my cab.

    The dirt covers up my scratches and makes it look cleaner.

    There's a real suspicious scratch on my truck. I've always thought it was a tree branch scratch but the more I look at it the more I think someone keyed my truck... :mad:

    A month or so ago, I was doing something on my truck in the parking lot and the office lady walked by and said "holy shit what happened to your truck?! Did someone key it?" Nope... just normal use. :/

    Taking a quick break from today's wrenching...

    I've been looking forward to this since before Moab!

    Thanks to @TinkyWinky for the group discount on the ARB lockers, @thefatkid for assembling the them and setting up 4.56 gears, and also @3378jakesr5 for loaning me the cores for the swap.

    Don't forget to check that copper tube before final install.

    The front is built, but I only swapped the rear today. No gear oil in it yet as I'm waiting the recommended number of hours for seals to dry. I'm pretty sure I sealed the shit out if it.

    I can confirm that when I apply pressure to the air line and rotate the tire forward on one side, both wheels rotate forward, which for me was petty f-ing exciting. #winning

    There is still much to do...but I'm one step closer :thumbsup:

    It looked pretty damn good where you had it. I have no concerns about metal to metal contact. I just can't wait to drive it.

    It certainly wasn't a pleasant experience at all. Just a lotta shit you have to remove to get to it. Took me awhile figure out the angle after I accepted that the bracket for the vacuum line and breather absolutely must come off. After that it was just bench pressing the back end up high enough to clear the stud for the rear Allen bolt. I should have the new one in tonight...might leave the rest for tomorrow.

    Mad props little buddy. I never pulled the front myself, just the rear.
