We didn’t know exactly what was needed and were hoping to find a new (more reputable) shop to take stuff to but now back to the drawing board as I definitely can’t afford them for real work

That new wheel and tire package fills out the fenders a lot better.

Looks great!
I got 2 of the 3 oil changes done. Transfer case got done, oil didn't l99k bad. Front diff got done, unfortunately had alot of glitter and dark grey ended up filling once then running around in 4 and drained and filled again to flush. Rear diff couldn't get the fill plug off to the point of using a jack to jack the pry bar up trying to break it free. Ended up stopping cause my luck the bolt would break leaving the treads behind. Oh well, hopefully it is like the transfer case and not the front. That's why you always break the fill loose first, if I didn't I would not have had any way to fill it after I drained it.

Yes we switched out to 3/4 ton axles built for off-road with 4.88 gearing to turn the 37’s
