Lol couldn't have worked out any better .Looks like child support might be buying me an axle, my ex just told me she made a payment today and plans on making another one this weekend.

Damn your truck has seen some shit these past few days. How did the rear axle get fucked?
I either hit the mount on a rock/boulder coming down off something or I did it when I caught air in the Mojave back in April and just never really noticed it until after Motino when I was assessing damage. Biggest problem with the rear shock mount is how low it hangs. It's really easy to smash it into thing. If I had known how badly it was really fucked up I would have just left the rear Icons on and cruised them for awhile. Couldn't see the bend until I took the shock off and that bushing is completely fucked.
That sucks. Get some shock mounts cut.
Oh, the fronts are in great shape aside from the misalignment spacers, hahahah. Unless @eimkeith can come up with the new shock mounts within the next 2 weeks (and it sounds like he's far too busy for that happen) I'll probably just pick up a new axle from a junk yard and swap my 3rd into it. Be a good chance to pull my 3rd and inspect the gears/locker anyway.
I was thinking just a 3/16" plate on both sides would keep the whole thing from bucklingYou handle the axle, I’ll work up reinforcements to keep it from happening again. - or did you want raised lower mounts?

How much did you end up paying!?
How much did you end up paying!?
Just under 900 with core deposit and taxes. I think I'll still give @Itaro dibs at the 3rd for a core to ecgs and I'll shoot ecgs an email and see if they buy 3rds. Figure if I can get 400 for the 3rd, I'll end up with extra axle shafts and a housing for 450. I should be getting 500 from my ex for back child support.
Ah well not bad after all said and done lol. I was just seeing what the price of junk yard axles were up there but it looks like there all around the same price.
PCK headed your way tomorrow.
Hey - what're you doing with the old housing?
