That looks great, 06. You never stop rolling on your project-wish I had the time to accomplish 1/4 of what you have in the last year!

Look at what I got! I have always been worried about breaking the rear axles with my 5.7, now I'm not.
Vintage Power Wagons should have these in stock-- they are expensive, close to $1000 (more than I paid for my whole truck back in '94), but I won't have that worry in the back of my mind every time I take a hill.

Yeah those should be bullet-proof at that price; probably worth the peace of mind though if you're going hard-core off-roading.
