When are gonna do yours Lee? :dunno::D

Not sure if I am. Thinking about selling it and finding something newer. But I might just keep it to. Who knows though. :lol:

You will regret selling it man.

Just save up a few sheckles for a down payment, and finance a 05-06 crew cab :jester:

That burb would be awesome to keep around for winter, and playing in.

I'm glad it's working well for you. The G80 in the truck I had came in handy a time or two. :thumbs:

I probably should've trusted it more than I did. But, with it only being 2WD, I just couldn't get comfortable enough with it in certain situations off the paved roads..

Mine have always worked fine. I have never failed one, and I have had several.

All my trucks have endured long winters, so 4wd stay engaged most of the season. In the mud, and loose stuff, however, that is where the G80 really shines. Nice to have!

Understandable,I'd hate to go off road somewhere where you had in the back of your mind ''I really shouldn't be doing this,this isn't a 4x4'' :lol:
