And my thrash started today. I will be there but a little early to say what I will be driving. Wife said if I don't get the jimmy done she will make me take her Ford.

Hey its a 78 Ford F-150 with just over 100 grand on the clock. I would happily drive it, but I would have to be shotgun for somebody on the trails. It is far too nice to take wheeling.
My right seat is empty.
I need to finish my cage

I finally looked at the S-10, apparently I bent the rear driveshaft on Wrecking Ball at KOH... Shows how often I drive the S10.
It's at the driveshaft shop getting re-tubed, should be done tomorrow then all that's left to do is pack.

And have me find all the broken shit...
Well I decided today I want to try to make this possible, do I do a light prep and try to get the truck to Moab or do I just ride co dog and spot?
I had fun last year just riding
Very true, who wants a passenger? I booked a tent spot 6-9 at moab rim.
I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding a ride. Always plenty of room. We do drive full sizes after all.

Meh, it'll be fine. It's got a new driveshaft, the AC works and it doesn't appear to be leaking anything.
Heck even the frame patch job I did at Moab Rim last year is holding up.
not if there is not anything wrong with them If bearings are swapped, you may nee to re-shim the center section to get the gears set up correctly. Just check everything thoroughly. Replace what shows wear or has slop in it. Look at the axles to make sure they do not have a grove where the seals run. If so, the new seals will not help. A speedi-sleeve will be needed.
What he said. Also, check for clogged vent tube. If it’s clogged that will cause premature failure of the axle seals.
