A friend of mine is a rep, Cigars on 7th and Briar Shoppe are the best (in order).

7th just had a big Tatuaje event with Pete Johnson......Charlie (from here) made the trek from Bend, he'd vouch for the shpo.

If the roads weren't schit it's tempting for me to make the trek north, that's 4 passes to negotiage.

Sounds fun, but a bit too far.
My truck is missing its rear differential at the moment as well (clutch packs)
Hoping it will be done this week, but not looking good.

^ regular maintenance, or did the new trailer take a toll?

it was leaking, but no other real noticeable symptoms.
Decided to have oil changed and install new gasket........find chunks, not shavings, in the case.
My trusted mechanic says they're clutch pack pieces. Turns out, all but one of the clutch plates were in bad shape.
He says it was not because of the trailer.......simply a tired differential.

I got lucky given that I was up in Washington a few weeks ago....... the main reason it didn't fail sooner is probably because I baby the truck..........and dumb luck......and, I'd like to believe, a bit of karma..
