That's still a major bummer Mike, but I'm glad to hear it was less money in repair bills than was previously thought...better the front diff than the transfer case! I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible from here on out!
SLC is my next stop! I'll probably leave CO Springs very early Saturday morning, since independence pass is supposed to reopen Friday, and I wanted to see it this time, instead of going through Denver again...so I guess I kind of have a plan, lol. ...I'll be in touch.
