The paid receipt and warranty being packed into a zip lock bag and securing it to the item is one of the best things I have done, washer/dryer, tv, battery, etc.
 
Repaired my leaking beadlocks and installed new bolts, repainted the ring although it will just get beat up. I also installed led reverse lights which I can't believe I have never done up to this point.

I was able to get my ram assist hooked up. I have to tidy it up a bit but it seems to work fine. Took longer to adjust than i thought. Barely into my test drive suddenly anything over 1000rpm and the engine would stall. My android Bluetooth adapter for my fuel injection was stolen when my 40 was broken into in the dumpster fire called Denver Colorado. Apparently the thief has a gm tbi setup he wants to monitor or he thought it looked like something he could cook crack with. Anyway I have a regular scanner that will work if I had the adapter. So I bought the adapter. With that I found the tps and map sensor were bad. Now I'm at sea level it doesn't start well. I made some changes to some of the fuel tables. Haven't tested it out yet.

This was a bit nerve racking. I cut the shaft. Then you have to cut the locker fork. Then the axle and collar was free. Then I beat the broken shaft out of the collar. Collar looks ok.

We’ve had to play that game a few times. Well done on the extrication!
 
@White Stripe Any ideas on why this may have happened
I was stuck on some rocks and bound up in post 605. One axle snapped. The other twisted. I stalled the 8472 trying to get free. I replaced the broken axle a while ago. I've been putting this repair off some time. The locker still worked. I've used it as is for a while. It's always fun talking about breaking stuff...until I have to fix it haha
 
I added a large fill plug for convenience. Seemed like a good time to do it. I welded the housing back up. Then i recessed the drain so its flush. Things seem to be going ok. I need to clean the 3rd member and housing really well . The Toyoda sticker looks like it will make it.
