I took my Sporty back out for a bit of break-in driving. Richmond Gear recommends driving for 30 minutes at "normal driving speed", then letting the vehicle rest to let the gear oil cool down. This process is to be repeated for a total of 3 break-in runs. So I took the rig back to the gravel lot and gave it another go. I was able to turn hard left and right without issues. And the front wheels seem to be getting some good grip, though the Track Finder locker in the rear will overcome the steering a bit if I goose it a little too hard... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> That said, the OBX diff is working well and without any odd noises - it's running smooth. Now that I've tested it on a gravel lot, I have the utmost confidence that it will work well enough to get me out of the McDonald's drive-thru, should I ever have the need to crawl my way out. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
