Sounds like the squeaking was from your centering ball yoke in the front driveshaft. I had the same thing going on on mine for quite a while and couldn't figure out what it was. Although a new shaft beats fixing it lol

Yeah, a new stock shaft was $250, a local place wanted $250 for a rebuild and $300 for new, and Adams Driveshaft was $135 shipped. So much more worth it to upgrade.

Had a typo there, paid 235 on Ebay, not 135. It's definitely heavier than stock. I'm not exactly sure what they use to be honest.

Got some Black Friday goodies. Some extra D-rings since I only had 1, JCR steering box spacer, battery tray, and their front stiffeners.

Picked up a 5 gallon air tank, maybe turn it into a cheap on board air. Would just have to refill it everyone is empty, or maybe there's a way to rig it up to a compressor?

Finally snowed as well. Got a good 6-7" for the first snowfall of the season. My MTRs suck on the street in the slop at higher speeds, and of course the thing with the Trucklights getting cover by the wet snow.





Left light is covered. Rightis not





Forgot I also set up my Christmas lights

Also put on the new gas tank straps. Alot easier than I thought, even though I had to cut one off.



New vs. the rusted out one

Snow storm coming through, suppose to get about a foot by sunday evening. Alittle before and after. Snow started around 3:30pm and by now there's a good 6" out there. And working at a tire shop on a Saturday just before a blizzard is never fun. 14 hours between the pictures when I clocked in and out.
