Carnage from the busy wild...

[FireballXL5]

Did a little wrenching today to get the sammi ready for this weekend... ;-)

Found a few interesting things... Rear ring and pinion of course... But also a bad rear u-joint, missing bolts on the rear driveline connection, ripped left tcase mount from the frame, and a bent left rear shock! Lol

Here's some pics of the R&P... And a quick pic of the difference in a locker and open diff...
