Well, I just got off the phone with Josh. He is currently in the process of removing his first broken birfield. He lost his virginity tonight. Woohoo!

Well scott is the man! Helping me out on a sunday redo the disaster I created last night in the mud and the dark. He helped me get it driveable so I can start the 3.4 swap on tuesday and have my rig for a couple more days. Gotta order up some longfields and a knuckle rebuild kit.

Well yea! I don't even have a solid axle and knew this, you should have asked me. I would swap em for some indestructible (or stronger) ones and carry your originals as spares.

That would be absolutely horrible! It was about 40 degrees and windy and that was miserable. Glad it was atleast 40.

Update on my build

I asked Mike from ORS to leave my truck outside during the weekend a couple weeks ago when I arrived back in Colorado so I could pick it up in Arvada and not have to drive back monday. I arrived Sunday afternoon only to find that my truck had been broken into and my dash ripped to a million pieces, my indash DVD player sub and amp stolen, rear glass broken out, and passenger door handle destroyed. Thank goodness for insurance. They quoted me at $1810.72 for repairs. The glass ended up costing more than they had estimated so I ended up getting somewhere around 2100 from the insurance company. On the exception of the glass and door handle I did all the repairs myself. It took a long time but it was worth it.

I didn't get any money to replace my sub, amp, or DVD player since I didn't have proof that they were installed and didn't have receipts for any of the equipment. (keep your receipts everyone)

Anyway, I had enough money left over to have scott at Addicted Offroad to do Longfields and one of his beautiful winch bumpers. I will post pics soon. Just thought I would post up new info on whats been happening.
