I submitted my application for best yardwork in my neighborhood for the month.
My vote's in! I love what you did with the negative space! HG TV worthy.

What we really want to know Kelly is how in the world did you get that axle to levitate like that ?

That is from the Sturgis rig I bought. 5.29 Nitro gears that only had 2500 miles on them - advertised to be installed by best in the business. Really the reason I bought it.
I have not torn the back axle apart -- was not planning on it, but will have to do now.
Feels like I got screwed on that deal. The guy seemed really honest. Called him last night, will see if he makes this right.
For this weekend work, I will put foo stock 4.11 back in and button it up, then deal with this nightmare.
Let me back up a second, I knew it was "as is" condition. It was advertised as working and running, professionally installed, with little use on it. When Sammy, Rob and I took it apart, we had a really bad feeling about it, as the driveshaft bolts were finger tight, the pumpkin nuts were the same, and when I did not have to break the seal on the pumpkin to take it apart, I knew that someone had already taken it apart, found the damage, and put it back together, sold it to me, with full knowledge of it broken.

maybe he just got a little over zealous with the grinder to install the pin.. Oh wait.. Not an issue on the front huh.. Ok.. carry on.
that sucks, especially if the seller knew about it
