The diff looks brand new! The oil that came out was still clear and didn't smell bad at all. Anybody know what style differential this is?

That's a G80 gov-lock

I wouldn't put any effort or money into that thing. Just do the $3 paint job you wanted, new links and install the fawker. ***** mint

Yep I agree. I figured since it was the cheapest one they had it would be rougher than this. Gonna hit it with chassis saver put the same cover back on and probably just order the lower links from Spohn. If the factory panhard fits I'll probably buy one of the QA1 bars as an upgrade if not then I'll have one made with plenty of clearance for a girdle or some other diff cover.

Smeared some Chassis saver on the 9.5 yesterday. Now my hands will be black for a week.

Looks good from here! Have you sorted out your brakes yet?

From what I've found the brakes should bolt on. Might grab a caliper and rotor from advanced discount garbage just to double check then return it. Did manage to get some Maypop tires to roll it around with instead of axle stands.

Current to do list

-Spohn lower links coming in Friday then getting powder coated sparkly silver.
-See what U joint the Tahoe currently has since the drive shaft is "Built"
-See if brakes fit
-Figure out parking brake
-See if Panhard bar will clear cover or if I need a QA1/Custom.

It really doesn't bother me but walking around in public with dirty looking hands has a different effect on people with the Corona floating around.

Been wanting a set of PPV wheels for awhile and came across these for $180. Tires still have probably 3/4 or better tread and will make perfect burnout tires. Gonna have 4 wheels powder coated and find some PPV slim chrome caps.

I really dig the ppv wheel look. Kinda been wanting to change up my Escalade from the 22’s to some 18x10 steel or aluminum wheels with circle holes and just put beefy tires all around.
