Didn't take many photos (wife did) but it was a nice hot drive, kids enjoyed going down that crater and playing with all the bullet shell casing that were on the floor, and throwing rocks in there as well.
Pretty country! Hope the AC works.

Might need a rear diff rebuild or get one from JY. The humming has increased which sounds exactly like a bad bearing when going out, and only does it while accelerating. The rear bearings were replaced with used hubs and bearings that were good so that only leaves pinion bearing. Might be a great opportunity for a locker in the future.

Have you checked to see if it is simply a loose pinion nut?

Yes, and already tighten it up a few months back and it was very loose, the diff did have what looked like water mixed with diff oil when I first changed the oil, and at the milage it has something had to give.

Just finished installing a 10.1" head unit/touch screen/tablet on the truck, bought the cheapest Chinese crap I could find in eBay (my old head unit volume **** didn't work no more) and boy this head unit didn't disappoint, sounds great, picture quality is great and has many features.

I decided to get this cheap replacement while I got the funds for something more high end but this thing is cool. We'll see how long it lasts.

Here's the one I got



I'll post pics of the unit installed tomorrow.

​​​​​​almost forgot truck is getting some bass as well, stay tuned

Here's one pic of it installed, the only thing is the screen is so big that it covers part of the HVAC controls, but no big deal.

I've had the same style and size ones in mine for a couple years. Had cheap on at first and liked the size and how everything works and all the apps you could get. It worked but was slow as Christmas and would freeze up and lag. Watches some review on YouTube and found ones the same style shapen and size but lot better computer part and I love it. Has 0 lag never froze up open everything instantly. I'm haply with it even though it cost a lot more.

You have to get creative with the mounting on them. lol

Yes, I used the supplied L shaped brackets and bend them inwards then slid the head unit in then bend them outwards (hugging the plastic trim holding the head unit in) and it worked great.
