Well, Dynatrac is 6-8 months behind, so no PR for now... But I'm not driving 2,500 miles on these plugged/worn tires and grease-spitting drive shafts either. I'm thinking I'll have to do the tires and regear now (including the D30 dang it!) and the rear drive shaft. I'll then take the front drive shaft out for the highway driving, put it back in when we get there, then out again for the drive home. I'll just have to cross my fingers that I don't break anything too bad...
Guess I should've planned a little farther in advance lol. All-in-all though I should only be out a few hundred spent on the D30, and it and the drive shaft *should* hold up for one more trip.
