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
 
I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding a ride. Always plenty of room. We do drive full sizes after all. :D

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.
 
My front axle is leaking out of both sides, what all should I replace while I'm in there? bearings?
 
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.
