Amazing work on the axle. So nice when you finally fix a big issue like that.

Thanks! That damned driveline vibration has been the most annoying thing about this rig since the new swap. Dove me nuts every time I would drive it. Hopefully it's all better now.
 
Apparently I'm pretty good at breaking stuff.

Tore a sway bar end link off with about 6 hours of trail time, so ended up dropping the lowers and tying them into the lower link mount. Worked really well and it will probably be a permanent solution.

I don't know if it's s***ty hardware or 200 lb gorillaing, but I have managed to shear 5 housing to 3rd member studs and now the housing is doing the drippy drip and I'm out for today.

Anyways, so pics.

We don’t need no stinking sway bar!

But TK1 set me up with double shear. Might be a thing.

Nope, I wanted it and stuck it right back on.
