I finally got around to replacing the tailgate on the Ramcharger, the OE gate was cracked and broken at the hinges.

Amazing the ride difference when loaded, eh ?



Saw this today. Nice to see the old D350 crusing around.

Yes, other than it riding so smooth I couldn't really tell it, nor the car trailer with 65 concrete blocks was behind me.

Replaced the air compressor for the bags. Chased a couple of electrical problems and cleaned up a couple of grounds. Rebuilt the rear brakes. Replaced the headliner.
OK, it took several days.

Usually that damage is done from a bad front drive shaft binding while driving it.
It rips the T-case apart when it binds.
I have spare NP-241s in my shop.
