Now just imagine if it were clean.

This O’reilly’s has way better views than it ought to. 4 gallons of oil, 2 identical filters and drain gaskets and $100 later. Oil is changed

Strangely enough, Castrol synthetic was the cheapest oil there...even cheaper than the O’reilly’s brand. Still need to do many things to both trucks. With the GX mostly fluids - diffs, power steering, transmission, t-case, brake, etc.

With the cruiser. I am ordering a new rear driveshaft and either a used or rebuilt t-case. plus lots of little things like paint touchup, a few bolts here and there and so on.

Something wrong with the 80's driveshaft itself or just U-joints?

But why would it be clean? That would mean it isn’t being driven off road. And that’s the whole point of owning one.

Ah, bugger. Reman or outright new? Any good driveline shops in SLC? We found a really good one in SoCal.

I discovered that my forward shaft’s joint has some play last night as well. My truck so rarely sees 4WD (SAD!) that it’s not the end of the world for now.

Utah has a few VERY good driveline shops (Tom woods driveshafts for example) but it would cost MORE to rebuild the shaft I have than to buy a used one and have it shipped. Still on the fence.
