Well, AFAIK, I'll be there on Friday afternoon. I'll also have some new 305/70-16 MT/R's, so if anyone is interested in my 285's, let me know!
I'll also have that SC that I could install for you in about 2.5 hours if anyone's interested....

Guys,
I have some bad news. After slaving all weekend on the crawlbox and driveline I have issues that will keep me from making this trip.
1.) I ordered Marlin's long travel driveshaft kit. Works great, only problem is its for the 85 runner and now my flanges don't match up on the front shaft at the pinion. I have to order a new flange and install it.
2.) Marlin didn't send a TCASE mount for the new box so it's not supported to the skid
3) The skid I ordered was for a 85 runner and will have to be modified to fit my truck. It's being held on by 3 bolts right now.
This list is just too tall to fill in 48 hours and not having hte parts I need.
I can't believe it, but it doesn't suprise me that these problems have popped up. Feel like I've been hamstringed a bit.
I'm working on getting the parts right now. I don't think it looks good though.

it comes out to be about $840 for 285's and about $950 for 305's and that's NOT a roadforce balance...

Best I can do is parts on Thursday. I would love to come down, but not without my truck. Just put too much into this thing to not take it somewhere and wheel ASAP. This is a huge dissapointment and let down. 
The spline driveshaft kit was an oversight, same with the skid being for a 85 runner set up. Just an idiot!!
Damn.
