Default Today is the Day (4.11's w/Eaton going in)

My baby goes under the knife today. Should be some good times in the near future


The real struggle will be keeping my foot out of it for the first 500 miles (break in). Will be quite tempting I imagine.


......Anticipation.

C.O.R.E. (custom off road equipment) is doing the install. The Demon is a street truck, but no one knows gears like the off road guys.

I got all my parts from randys ring and pinion. GREAT company to deal with, excelent customer service. (other than the mix up of thinking I had a 4WD and sending me and charging me for front and rear gears). That problem is being worked out as i'm typing this.

All total parts and install ran me about $800.00
