Default White Thunder is back (pics)

Its been a rough month for me as I have been having some problems since the beginning of August and thought id give everyone an update. After a fun day of mudding my Auburn Pro Series Diff went out on me. The pinion ring snapped and everything fell apart. So i ordered an eaton true trac and put it in myself. Only problem with that is that I put it together sloppy and it tore my ring and pinion gears apart. My fault but you live and you learn so I had new ones installed by professionals and just got it back today after 3 weeks of not driving it. And its still worth it. Here are some pics for you guys.

Looks great man! Cant have fun without breaking something from time to time. Im glad you tried to put it in yourself, its nice to try something for yourself, even if you dont get the results you wanted.

Glad you're back to 2 Wheel Off-roading! I was about to do an R&P swap this weekend but I cant get past the damn driveshaft adapter. Almost stripped a bolt. Paying to get it done monday.

Thanks everyone. Im real happy to get it back. Rear end work is a pita but if it happens again(not for a while) im confident enough now to fix it myself. Sucks paying someone to do something that you could possibly do yourself. I love the true trac already. It feels alot stronger then my auburn but I have yet to put it to the test offroad. Im also getting a little better at taking pictures too lol.

Vano what gears are you putting it? The R@P swap is probably one of the more noticeable mods. Youll feel the difference.

I bought 2 mud grapplers first but when I went back a couple months later for the other 2 they were on backorder for a month . So I went with the M16s and see how they handle.
