I live in Spokane, WA- ever since i got out of the Army, my mother and my wifes family live here, so I do by default. I was born and raised in WA but I never lived in Spokane until this last year. Its allright but I cant wait to get out of college and move to the coast somewhere- WA or OR would be sweet with like 100 acres to wheel / hunt about 30 minutes away from civilization or so- preferably with a river nearby for baggin the trout and steelheads on a reguler basis.

hey raginyota- I dont know if it works well or not but when I rebuilt my front axle I loaded it up with marine grease since I knew I would see alot of water now and then. When I rebuilt them, the grease that came out was runny and milky, so I figured what the heck- its rated for higher temps and stands up to water better. Is that a d60? Im going to be putting them into my next build, I cant wait. As soon as this yota is finished its goin up for sale to fund my next build (to my wifes dismay hehe). I actually picked up the new truck yesterday- now all you guys dont spaz on me but I picked up a crew cab s-10. I think Im going to drop a 350 in it, find a tuff transmission and transfer to go in there and sas it with lockers and 5.29's all around. Im going to keep it 100% chevy and Im thinkin it will be my final build (or else my wife might leave me). I wont post any of it here since its all yota in this forum but maybe I'll leave a link at the end of this post so you guys can watch it if you like.

I must say though it is not really my thing and i wouldn't do it to mine (partially because its all i have right now) nice job. It really came together in the end.

Been broke down for a bit, I melted a creeper joint by having my exhaust too close so I got a new one, ordered some sliders- they should be in tomarrow. Im going to try to get one more good run in before the snow hits.
