Spent some time on my back under the Dadtero today. I do have the old crank bolt, so I'll be replacing that. I have a leaking front seal on my rear diff. I'll be replacing that.

The big question I'm wrestling with is the auto lock hubs. This is my inexperience with performance off-road. With the hubs unlocked, I spin the wheels by hand. The axles & CVs don't spin. If that's the case, why would it be a problem to weld the front diff? Please understand, I'm asking to learn not to challenge experience.

I'm still working on the pic thing.

The kids called my wife's Montero the "Momtero". So, they called mine the "Dadtero".
