I'm gonna be doing the gears with help from friends, but I'm not taking them apart yet. I just wanted to pull the covers and inspect them / see what was inside, the 60 was actually full of water so it was probably a good thing I did. I'm only going to be cleaning them up and getting brackets removed for now until winter and acquiring parts as they come up as deals, fingers crossed for some black friday specials. This is something I really want to do as much as I can myself, and I really feel confident that I'll be able to tackle this. I figured that the stock shafts will be fine, especially considering I wheel with an egg shell under my gas pedal. As my confidence grows and I start realizing I don't need to cringe at the idea of the 30 or 8.25 blowing apart at anything remotely challenging is when I figured I'd at least get the 35 spline outers and good quality hubs.
