    What to do? $$$

    Good news got another opinion, front differential needs replaced. IWE are fine! Rear differential doesn’t need replaced the pinion is a little off but it’s still in the recommended tolerance. Going to change fluid and have it serviced, and have transfer case fluid changed! Everything up to date !!

    Differential

    Hello, is it better or more cost effective to rebuild a differential or just buy a used one?

    Almost crashed

    Got y’all appreciate the help cuz it was definitely wet. Would it cause the engine to smoke too and for smoke to come out exhaust pipes or would that be something separate?

    Time for new tires, thinking maybe wheels to

    I got the Cooper Discoverer Road & trail AT tires. I love them the stick great even in rain I feel confident. They look aggressive and you will get a few rocks in them. You may feel them a little while driving. They are 18 inch factory wheel. I’ve been real happy with this tire though.

    Seeking guidance with preparing for the timing overhaul

    Please post your progress! I hope you get it done the way you want!!
