sorry about the pics, theyll be back in a couple of days.
notice anything different?
ill give you a hint
Got my driveshaft done by Jess at High Angle, and i now see why everybody says he is the best. he extended it, clearanced the cv, cleaned it, and painted it for 125 bucks. take it to jess if you got driveline work.
however, putting it in was the biggest pain in the ass. First i put it on, and the flange holes dont line up and are too small. great. drill 2 out (all i could line up) and pop the driveline on. i put it in 4wd and the thing was binding up like crazy. would hardly move. found out my gears in the front were 4.37s :shaking: and rear are 4.10s. i about punched myself in the face for not checking when i rebuilt it. had to tear the axle down, pull the diff. Big thanks to my buddy Sean who had a 4.10 he traded me. put it all back together, and it has 4wd now. sorta bad vibration when you let off the gas in 4x4. anyways, couldnt wait to see what she could do.
coulda gone farther up, but my ebrake wouldnt hold it there :shaking:
Cant wait to actually take her wheelin
