Latest Shakedown Trip

Took a 'little' shakedown trip over to the Yellowstone area...



...and it was a successful trip.

Glad I made the choice to add the limited slip differential as we were a 'bit off the main road' and it rained.

Very cool, great pic! I didn't know a limited slip was available. Can you just drop it into the current carrier, or did you have to replace it? What type/brand?

I got ours stuck in our own front yard already, on fairly flat ground. It doesn't bode well for the future!

Applied GMC has them. https://www.gmcrvparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=GM17-17.001.27

I purchased a 3.70 with the LSD. All it takes is: $$$$

It is a tight fit getting the final drive out/in.

The combo performed flawlessly, with plans to tow my CJ5 this weekend (though not over the continental divide). ?

Tried, or succeeded? How was it?

Successful trip! Was up in the Kettle Falls area in northern WA. Drove around on a bunch of back roads and saw a cougar cross the road ?
