Oh, I understand completely and I do care for my toys. Case in point, I own a 1947 5hp Johnson outboard that runs and is not restored. My present play boat is a 1964 JetStar 3 point hydro with a 1967 100hp Johnson outboard, again not restored but working properly (runs ove 60 mph). But when I rolled the 2005 400 (being stupid) at 4 months after purchase, I didn't cry about it. I just bought the parts I couldn't fix and went on with riding it some more. Same when I back flipped the this last August (again, being stupid, Seems to happen allot when I get tired anymore) only this time was allot more expensive.

At least I showed him up on crawling over rocks as he bottomed out and teeter-tottered with all 4 wheels off the ground. I also climbed a long, steep, snowy hill with the aid of front diff lock, which he doesnt have, and he couldnt make it up the hill until his 4th try! I still wouldnt trade my AC for anything.

hey don't pick on people who take care of their truck beds lol i haul my dirtbike and atv and everything in the box of my truck but i am careful when setting things in there and well i figure i spent about 30,000 on a truck and i want it to look good the box and everything for a long time. my fourwheeler has been well for the most part had the crap beat out of it but the racks and fenders don't have any scratches on them cause when i set stuff on the racks i set it on there carefully. when a person sells something alot of people don't even look at the mechanics they always look at the cosmetic part and if i decide to sell my atv this spring and get another one it should make it a lil easier. besides if i gotta haul something it is usually nice to just grab my dad's super duty.

Both front tires are pulling all the time. Only when one front tire starts to spin, the other takes over. right?

Limited slip always splits rpms equally when conditions are equal. If you grab a spinning wheel on one side and slow it down, the other side spins faster. If I was a little backwards, Im not now. This is how it works
