    In town for Expo but managed to fuck up something in my diff. I'm getting some nice clicking and pinging sounds, thinking I butchered my ring gear or something (haven't opened her up yet).

    Anyone know a good mechanic in town?

    I don't know any personally. East Coast Gear Supply isn't far and they're the kings! I could help run stuff back and forth.
    @bigshane might know some local help

    I dropped the truck off at the Organic Mechanic to see what's up.
    U-Joint Offroad is nearby, thinking about asking Chris if he'll fix whatever it is if it's axle related.


    Great point, hadn't thought about ECGS. They're almost 4 hours from here, but if Chris doesn't want to take it on I may reach out to them for some parts. Who knows, maybe a good time to regear if I need new gears.

    Thanks guys!
