Installed new rear differential pinion gear seal. Pretty straight forward job and used the directions I found on the forums!

New OEM stereo with AUX plug in. The buttons on my original one were all worn off. Looked like crap.

Installed new drivers seat foam and upholstery. I've been wanting to do this for awhile now and happy with the outcome!

New Rancho QuickLift 9000 suspension all around!

To snap or twist a driveshaft...either the U-joints were frozen, backed up to a wall, or you have a god fearing large amount of torque being built up.

Not today but this weekend, I mounted new tires.
275/65/18 (This is the same as stock)
When my wife becomes a stay at home mom I get to put 33s or 35s on it as it won't be a DD anymore.


Then after the pic I put some oil to temporarily fix the my trim pieces from looking white. If this don't hold up for a while, I'll prolly just take them off and paint them. I was just lazy

Hi/Low function is perfect as well. The difference? These cost me $50 shipped as the seller took my offer. 4x4truckleds are $150 plus shipping.....

The seller accepted my offer of $50 as well.

My truck crapped out on me last night, had to have it towed home. It'll shift into gear but won't engage, linkage intake and shifting, transmission will shift into gear, just won't engage into drive.

Check out my post here, need all the help I can get!
