P.S. Haven't visited the thread in a long time. You all know how it is, kids and vacations, moving, etc. We get busy.
I just washed sunny-belly last June and I don't know how it got so dirty so fast!! The truck is a bit grubby. Maybe I should wash it again soon....
At least I keep the windows clean! After all of that bodywork, it is the least I can do!
I just had the rear diff go down with a grinding pinion bearing. Thank God for full-floating axles. I stripped the rear housing and drove it for 1000 miles with front drive. I capped the diff opening and drove it that way until the diff was fixed. It could have been an excuse to re-gear, but my 5-foot wife is funny about tires and lifts. She seems to think that she should be able to get in the truck without a ladder. She is funny like that, I don't know where she gets it! I pick my 5-year-old daughter up and put her in the truck every day. Why should Jill be different? She doesn't want me to pick her up?
I did it once, that's how I got married. I'm not as cool as I once was. Maybe it's the bald spot. Or the crick in my back. What can I do? What the hell!
So we will probably have to stay with the 3" lift and 285 or 295 tires. There are worse things. I could have had a Taco with no lockers.
All I ask for now is a rear bumper so I can get the spare tire out from underneath, and a real set of tires. And maybe some sliders. And all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth! I don't need much more than that!
