Yes, the Clearview mirrors are well built. The uppers connect to factory adjustable switches. The lower wide view mirror is really useful and they push closer to the body if needed offroad. They extend for towing and give you a view down the trailer side.

I also think the tcase replacement comment is a sign the shop is not knowledgeable about this driveline. I can’t speak for the transmission situation.

It took me 3 times to get mine matched. :D

I agree on ratchet spanner and I took out the spare and reached up over the axle. Some folks have drilled a socket sized hole from the top and then put in a cap. I have a full storage platform so that’s not for me.

Mine are 13” on a 1/2” sub base. The drawer depth then allows 11.5” contents which is handy. I have the rear ac which takes some ceiling height up front.

I don’t want to go back to stock......ever. :D

Consider hiring a professional guide like Dan Mick’s to guide you thru some trails. This builds in a safety factor of both, picking a trail with the right conditions that day and gives you two trucks and a experienced spotter. I used this approach in 2016 and it was money well spent. The...

99LC no ACH, I have RUD snow chains and have run them in the rear (low speeds/offroad) and in the front with spidertrax 1.25 spacers.

Tell us more about your build plans in total. You, say you want to replace axles that implies heavy wheeling and more hp.

It’s all about meat no matter what you reducing metal. The helicoil in theory is putting some back in. What actual bolt and location “photos” ? And what the bolt size? Should be a 12mm socket, I’m guessing it’s an 8mm.

If you don’t film it “It didn’t happen”!

Not I. I didn’t really consider it.

I looked at this Otramm video many times then dove in. This is only part 1 there are two. It is 80 series but the case part is really the same. It also helps to see the various gear pulls and sequence although it does not cover underdrive and there are some differences in between the 100 and...

Yes, on the bench is the way to do this. It’s not that hard to drop and lift it back in.
