    When my front pinion went out the whole diff ate itself haha

    Those bushings are just for mounts, but plastic guy sells the only know replacements I think.

    Otherwise are you lifted?

    2” in the front, probably ran around 2k miles in 4wd with the lift before this vibration developed.

    Usually, higher speed vibes like you describe are tire/wheel related. Can you feel the vibe most in the steering wheel? Or maybe the seat or floorboards?

    This vibration is only in 4wd, goes away in 2wd. Felt like a ujoint and the rear ujoint had a pretty good catch in it when I took the shaft out. Imagine my surprise when the vibe was still there:notsure:

    So could be the needle bearing in the diff. Ecgs sells a tool to get it out and a replacement spacer.

    You could also try a diff drop but I doubt that's it.

    Dunno, having gone through that thread it seems they have the opposite problem and going into 4hi fixes it.

    Anyone able to tell me about the snowy range and the typical melt season/fishing runoff season?! I'm looking to get a bit further north from fort Collins this year and I've seen some past posts from some of you about this area. Any advice is greatly appreciated. No ask for your secret campsite or fishing hole. More looking for seasonal information and also good routes to explore beyond 130 to the top

    Lots of roads to explore in that area. I can’t remember the roads by name/number but you can’t get very far until early July.

    I've spent some time up there Andy, but would like to do more.

    The FS has a really good fishing map with all the lakes in the area and what kind of fish you'll find in them. No luck on the Goldens though. The main hiking trail that takes off by Lewis Lake is really cool, and takes you to all sorts of lakes to fish.

    FS103 connects through to the north and is pretty fun. Camped and caught a bunch of Greyling in Dipper lake along that road.

    Let me know if you head that way for a weekend, I'd really like to net a Golden finally.

    Got out to southern Utah this weekend with the Mrs. To try on some new (to us) shoes and other things that went with the shoes.. excited for the next chapter in life. First photo overlooks the Henrys from the westside. Pretty sure we ended last year's trip in that valley below on our way to I70

    Well we picked up the GFC this weekend, hence the trip. The rest of the story is not as easy to lay out here online. My mom passed away unexpectedly in February and well you can put 2 and 2 together. She liked to explore and so do we, so we decided to change how we were going to do that in the future. At least in the short term, ol blue there will be our travel vehicle since that's what she used with her Casita to see the US.

    Nice, I was close to trying to pick that thing up but the timing just wasn't right with everything going on. Hope it treats you guys well in your explorations remembering your mom.

    Thanks gents. It's tough at times and hard to comprehend. Not something you think about happening in your life at 37.

    I almost let it pass because I figured I dont have the time with everything else going on and didn't think he would travel. Thought for sure someone local would scoop it. Worked out and we are happy

    Real sorry to hear that man. I'd be lying if I didn't say I recognized the truck a bit.

    That super sucks.

    But great to see it living on in splendor. I'm sure she is enjoying watching you do that.
