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.

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.
