    Two weeks ago exactly, my rear ring gear self destructed which lead to a full 4.56 regear and front ARB. Got the front diff back tonight. Started the install at 11:55pm and pulled out of the garage at 1:57am. It's really nice to have RTO back on the road.:)

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    yea sept im doing the middle joint, so its two U joints right next to each other. makes it much harder cause as you press that(i did that with a vice and sockets) it bends the second joint over so you can press it anymore. everything where i have looked says you just use pliers to grab and pull it out from there..HA..bullshit..can't hardly even twist mine..

    Popped in my front diff, CVs, new spindles, and manual hubs last night. :cool: Still no 4x4 though, cause the M10 1.0 nuts at Auto Zone (3 different stores) were packaged wrong!:mad: once I find the right size nuts, however, the front wheels will finally have POWAH! :goingcrazy:

    Hey guys. Morning ... I'm about to install my new driveshaft assy and noticed that the carrier bearing mount is like 60/40 and I was wondering which part went up? The short side? Or the tall side?
    I've been without my truck going on 2 weeks and really really want to get it together this morning. Plus it needs a bath. Lol

    Got my driveshaft in ... after 9 days of NO TRUCK. Yea!

    I've got to run some other errands (while letting the lock tight dry) and I'll drive it later on today and WASH IT. Then I can take a couple of pics and post them on here.

    No I don't have a winch and don't think I will ever get one. And yea the driving lights are only to be used offroading. They are basically your high beams that are twice as bright and reach a bit farther

    I have the KC 130watts i love to run them on back roads around here. KC gives you a cool harness to wire them to come on when your highbeams are on if your switch is on makes it doable. Still illegal i bet but doable:cool:
