Default She lives!!!!!

$523.00 later, I have another diff assembly, two axle seals, fluid flushed and changed, and cut rotors. Yeah, it's expensive, but it's worth it. So as of right now, I have two brand new CV axles, two new hubs, and an entire differential on the front end. She runs REAL smooth now. 4x4 works smooth as well. Can't say that I'm not impressed. But at the same time my wallet is feeling empty lol Oh well, that's what's the risk when a truck is taken off road. Now all I need to do is lower the tbars, and get a front end alignment and she'll be running amazing. Then onto new tires and exhaust!

Now the non-fun part for me. I am promising, IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, that I will be laying off with the mud. The occasional, unavoidable mud hole (e.g. Rausch Creek) will be all that she sees. Maybe once in a long while I'll take her, but nowhere near where I was before. Y'all are gonna love me for this haha. Of course, trails are still in store after a while, but not until winter let's up and I get my new tires.

I have to lower the torsion bars first... Why do it twice? Doing that this weekend or Monday, and sending it in for one on Tuesday or Wednesday. It's gotta be done before I go back to school next Sunday.

It will still go off road, just on trails. Not mud. Otherwise, it'll be treated like a king haha

Tell me about it bro. I can't wait for the new tires... Hopefully take the bounce of uneven wearing out of it.
