For sure, have another rig coming here right now that is going matte black with a ton of goodies and will be SICK! Thanks, bumper turned out nice and we're cutting 4 next week.
Sorry!

Maybe I confused the question. Are you looking for suggestions on which parts to buy or where to buy? When buying I used quad4x4.com a lot. They have a very informative website.

Lights wired, amber flood, clear spot, clear flood

Yeah...where to buy. I'll have a look and thanks!
To confirm my own thoughts....a shop quoted $1,600 for a rear diff rebuild.....that seems at least $600-$800 to much, no? Looking at other sources....

Including parts? Doing wheel bearings and seals also? Diff still in vehicle?
I paid a shop (heavy truck 18 wheeler shop) to set up the carrier and gears only in my Sterling. Brought him all necessary parts. Diff was already removed. $160 labor.

We are teaching some classes at Expo so we will be in town. May swing by on Tuesday or Wednesday - think we are going to camp at Pisgah for a night or two before headed to Biltmore.

Paint for Axle Rebuilds
Chris, I'm assuming your axle rebuilds are rattle canned after thorough cleaning/rebuilding, no? If so, do you have a brand/type that you prefer?
On an unrelated note, I'm sure a lot of you guys noticed this submission on ExPo on your way to this forum but if not, have a read. https://expeditionportal.com/westx1000-the-trials-tribulations-of-a-millennial-nomad/
We all love a little van/road trip porn but are acutely aware that the #vanlife Instasphere images represent a very small fraction of that whole lifestyle. This is one of the first essays I've seen that are bravely honest about the realities of it all. Its a well written and totally relatable read.
Hijack over.

That article I can not relate to.
I have more, do more, save more, work more, eat better, enjoy more...
that must be a poorly prepared vanner described in the writing.
3 years full time van life solid for me, but many years before when I had a beautiful apt in SC I just do van stuff for the heck of it, but sometimes for work out of state.
Anyone who has a bad/poor experience didn't take the time to plan and execute worth a hoot.
