 :smilielol: funny more like a diff doctor . next week when we take it apart ill get some pictures for ya . someone took the sure grip apart tryed to rebuild and didnt align the splines for the axles . i thought it was the axle spacers inside in the sure grip but it wasnt . its almost done just a few minor set backs.
