here is how the truck sits now with the body lift.
got my electronics buttoned up.
---------- Post added at 8:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 8:00 PM ----------
Finally got to take the truck out today, after about 5 minutes.......
Well, That didnt take long, but i have just the thing to fix it, Contents = Axial Wild Boar Driveshafts + 1/4-20 threaded rod.
Broke out the tap and die, threaded the driveshafts and threaded the threaded rod down in the driveshaft and broke out the Dremel,
I shouldnt have anymore popped universals and wont ever have to worry about twisting the driveshafts, cheap but effective mod that should save some headache and wrench time down the road.
