Been.working on my truck again. I'm building my old trailer rig into a streetable wheeler. First thing i did was go get a new cab and weld new floors i came with reggies so i'm good there. I ripped the cage and old cab off then used a hotwater pressure washer to clean the frame and motor. Painted it and threw the cab on today.

Finally got the broken stud out and all the new diff stud eliminator bolts in. To get the old stud out i tried 3 easy outs which i managed not to snap off in the hole. But rather twisted them. Then i drilled and tapped it out but the first tap must have been defective cause it shattered in the hole (it was properly lubricated) and took the better part of 4 hours to get out. Finally theyre in but the allen key to turn them in was difficult and ended up taking about 15-20 min per stud
