    well, my brther came over today and we started working on the mav a bit, took out the 4 lug rear and im working on rebuilding most of the 5 lug 8in that i have now, new rear breaks, cables, gasket for the gear case, wheel studs :D and a cheap paint job lol.. i found out that i need new shocks, they were compleatly shot, and the best part!! i found out that i have been driving around on 2 broken U-bolts for a while :eek: so far things are going ok, hope to be back on all 4's by friday

    Well sounds like your Mav is coming along rather nicely. Glad you're having fun and making the Mav a little safer as you go! :)
