How did the Reds do?

REDS are the shit!

I need to learn to drive them.    My weak link is no longer traction!  :o
I guess I need to upgrade my rear driveshaft joints. 
Im going to need new 35 spline stubs for the front too.  I thought those were going to be the first to go...

Got to pull the tranny and get it rebuilt.  was slipping bad in REV.   

But I was getting lazy picking lines because they were going up everything. 
The rear driveshaft was case in point.   I was hard into a big rock on the front axle and gas it to try to roll the rock (J truck style  ::)) but the REDS did not slip one bit, so BANG!

Doing 1410 shafts is almost the same cost. Just gotta find the right parts. Super duty rear shafts are 1410 2 piece on some trucks. I got mine on ebay for $100 or something. That gets you all parts necessary for a 2 piece front shaft.
