Drive Shaft Replacement 5/18/18

Changed out my rear driveshaft. Had 6 sizable dents throughout which caused vibrations. Also cut out a section of the tank skid for clearance for the drive shaft.

Reinstalled Rear Sway Bar 5/19/18

Threw on the rear sway bar again after over 6 years without it. Got so used to the loose ride that this makes a significant difference even if only the rear. Also notice that my muffler is separating at both ends so will be in need of a new one.

That tank skid has seen better days. Any plans for an aftermarket option?

No. I'll run another factory one when I come across one.

Got to give you credit for having one of the most beat down 5th gens out there... Bravo and well done. Make those mall crawlers cringe...

Ha thanks. It’s what I have to work with and we like to wheel up here. It’s always a challenge where we go.

It’s obviously doing it’s job. That’s definitely the most use of one that I’ve seen

Uniball Replacement/Brake Kit 5/2018

Finally finished installing the Power Stop Brake Kit. Needed two new calipers for the rear(been driving with only front brakes for quite a long time lol). The front driver could benefit from a new caliper also(will most likely just buy two new calipers for the front).

Needed to replace my uniball on the passenger side LCA and replaced the bushings at the same time.
