ok, got a price on a new rear drive line, 130-200 depending on the thickness of tube i want (up to 120 wall) i was thinking about going with thicker tubing but was not sure if that would have adverse affects on the other components. thoughts?

[Rockcrawlintoy]

Should be fine. I ran .095 wall I think and it held up pretty good.

Got the pig out I the sun today and rinsed off two years of shop dust. Also cleaned up the shop and gathered some parts to sell.

Looks great

So the front axle knuckles have grease slowly coming out of the bottom, I'm guessing sitting for two years in a shop that freezes and heats up has kinda liquefied it enough to settle at the bottom and seep out? Thoughts on this? It doesn't have axle oil in it, just bright red clean grease.  It's a pretty fresh rebuild.

I've never wheeled a truck, so I can't compare. But these are much more top heavy.

Rock lights? The switch look more like boob lights!
