    if you can get the truck on stands, wheels off and skid off, and drain the front diff before I get there in the AM... we should be able to knock out that front diff swap.

    Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Axle, that is important enough.
    I actually took off my waterport and mount last night. Thinking of redoing the layout of the bed, which is also something I will be working on tonight.

    That will happen tonight after I finish the rear fenders.

    What about the CVs and such?

    Depending on how quick I get stuff done, I may try and get one of the rock lights install as well as redoing the rear rock lights. (Just have to redrill the mounts and remount) Not hard.

    You can disconnect the spindles from the lower ball joints and see what you can do with the CVs, but if you've never pulled one before you may want to wait.

    Ok, I will wait and I have a handy CV puller at the house.

    I do, used it for the rear, it still sucks since that stuff is so thick, but I can manage.

    Correct - all of our LED Light Bars are single row. The OnX6 does have a higher profile which is comparable to double row bars. Our optics on the OnX6 are much larger than the S8:

    Unfortunately I don't have anything on Scratch & Dent at this time.

    Huh. The problem with using that is you'll need to remove the spindle and hub completely, which is fine if you want to go that route it just takes more time. We'll have two of us there, so that's not too big of a deal. We just gotta be careful not to fuck up any of the seals by the hubs... ask me how I know.

    I've used the pry bar method on my truck with success like 4 times now.

    Ok, then I will get it to the point to where you get there in the AM and we start...

    Start at the crack of dawn?

    I don't like the sound of "crack of dawn". Unless @trekker wants to leave me at the hotel for a while. lol This is where having 2 vehicles there would be handy!

    Talk to @MellyMel she's the one that doesn't like to get out of bed in the morning. :boink:

    I can be there whenever I can get her out of the hotel, but yeah, the earlier the better.

    yea, if we have to, come over, then when she is up can run and get her? Christina won't be up for a little while anyways as they sleep later.

    It probably depends on how early we are talking. I mean - most days I'm out of bed before @trekker - but I do like to sleep in a little on the weekend. I don't want to create extra running around though so I'll probably just drag my butt out of bed and go with. Maybe Lux and I will nap in the car when we first get there. lol
