    First round on Old Brett.

    Congrats, man... I've been a silent observer of this last endeavor of yours. As always lots of high quality planning and execution on your part. Very impressed with your fab skills and gusto. One of the nicest 1st gens... too bad it's not Sunfire Red Pearl though.

    Can't wait to get on the trail with you.

    OEM axles are stronger and dont bind as early. Rebuilt is the way to go with better boots. Or go with part store ones and replace them as needed since they have warranties.

    A small handful of select mods.
    This sounds just like going with someone who can truly build you a diff the right way.....or going to ECGS so you can just get them replaced under warranty every time they blow up due lack of setting them up correctly.

    I'm enjoying both my CVJ axles and my diffs that Brian setup.

    Did some work on the swingout yesterday, will finish that up this week. Real test run this weekend, but truck is driving great! Somehow, something I did cured an annoying highway speed vibration I had. :notsure:

    I think the picture makes it look taller than it is, but yes, it will be taking out some branches. Best way I could come up with mounting the hi lift with the dual swingout.


    Still don't think it'll take out enough branches to prevent @Wishbone Runner from knocking over his CB antenna.
