Dude, that does sucketh! You just had the new r&p put in right? If so....possibly it was a improper install as the culprit? Busted LSD is typically just the c-clips on the clutch plates. Just lookin' to hope you are covered....



Hit the snow road again today, but in the daylight. It was expected to see more rigs up there. This is a paved road that does not get plowed during the winter. So people just drive up at their own risk to wheel, sled, camp, atv, snowmobile, hike, etc. Typically a offroad club acts as snow patrol to assist and pull vehicles out upon getting stuck. As well as all vehicle = 0 for those that enter to those that exit.

Only went about 12 miles of the 20 miles in. The grades caused too many stackups for people, which just jams up the road. So it wasn't worth watching/waiting/etc.

So for your snow pleasure, a slideshow. I did have to pull out a fellow 2nd Gen 4x4 Sport though. He was running bald street tires and slipped into the ditch on low side of a grade. I pulled him out as I was going down.

That stinks! Can't wait to see the paint on it! I'll drive mine down after I do the body work this summer.

i bought the plow on like january 30th, 2012. and literally only used it twice, for the 2 day march snow storm event we had. now i have about a whole truck bed full of loam to move off my lawn after ripping apart my walk-way, and part of my lawn. i hate late season storms!

next season im praying for a good one, because ill have another little rascal running, well crawling around. the girl is due september 7th! im hoping for a boy, but she wants a girl, and we get in debates over it all the time..... haha

I started on my plenum project yesterday so having all kinds of fun myself. Actually it wouldn't be so bad if I could just work at it constantly but started on it yesterday for a while and then got in a few hours today. Hopefully the kids will let me have a little more time tomorrow to work on it. Doing the plenum, water pump, timing set, a few other odds and ends while I'm at it. Will post a full write up with pics when I'm done.
