Would love to go up there myself...never been!Ill be there at some point this fall too
Diamond doesn't usually make their deadline from what Ive seen personally. Maybe mid september next year youll get it. Last guy I know that ordered a diamond axle it took over a year to get it and it, and was 2" too narrow which he didn't figure out until it was in the truck.

Welp... HG gave up the ghost. Putting a bit of a damper on my other build plans - all focus shifted to the heart right now. Got the engine out this weekend with the massive help of one of ONSC's finest Garrett Johnston. He's got the block down at a machine shop now getting ready for a bit of rebuild action.

This past Friday my buddy Garrett @4LowandSlow showed back up with a fresh engine in the back of his tacoma!
This is where she's sitting currently while we wait on a fuel rail to arrive:
Hopefully I can persuade him to come over one more weekend and keep helping my dumb a** figure out this engine
Additionally, got something much more fun to play with and get all pretty. The diamond has arrived!

Rebuilt sorry, had a machine shop here in NC do it. So far the engine pull and replace has been more bananas than my capabilities alone honestly. Having someone who has been there and done this has made me much less anxious.
I bagged and labeled almost every bolt which has also helped out monumentally.

Had a blast at Uwharrie with the boys! @4LowandSlow and I got to do Daniel in the night, in the day, helped out jeeps and dealt with some battery issues on my truck.
