i talked to a local guy that had those same tires on his excursion and he said they are great tires but they wear down super fast.

i guess he put less then 20k on his set and they have about 30% tread left.

you said something about the pump being bad, thats what happed to grants transfer case and it exploded lol.

you could always crawl under the truck and shift the transfer case if you had to.
that would work if he had too but he wouldnt have to do too much crawling cause that thing is huge.

Looks good Zach, even with my shifter in my truck with no b/l. It still seems to be a bit short. I wish I could lengthen mine.

haha suckers. My level II t-case shifter and linkage are different and it was super easy to make an extension for it lol. Either way though, short or not, you can't beat the manual shift case.


BTW Zach what did you do for your radio bezel? You just have a non-functioning 4x4 switch there? I bet that would confuse some people who weren't familiar with your truck lol.

lol yeah its just still there. I dont really plan to remove it. if i ever make a doubler I will use that for the front Tcase and the manual shifter for the main rear case. or vise versa...
