Changed my rear diff oil. Went with a gasket instead of a sealant and it seems to be holding up. It also took some shudder out at about 50mph.

Just finished painting my rear axle. Looks much better! Going to change out my oil in a few minutes. Tomorrow I'm painting my buddies and my wiper cowls and my wiper arms.

Having a field day with cheap rattle can stuff right now.

I need to change my plugs too however I just don't have time right now.

Over the last 2 days I did change my oil, installed my Recon tailgate light and put my new wheels on. Chrome KMC Slides 22x9.5 with 305/40-22s. Pictures to come after I wash my truck.
