See post #186. There's a lot more cosmetic damage gonna happen before you bend an axle, and cosmetic is more expensive to fix. I got both rear axles replaced w/Superior chromoly's for ~$700. The Stealer wanted $750 to do just the bent one.

i've got a horrible noise coming from the motor. Sounds like cracking. I haven't tracked it down yet. I'll give it a tuneup.

Just found these Teraflex mudflaps today.

Kinda pricey, but solve most of the problem. (I think you need side flaps, too, but this might get you off most of the time.) I've been thinking of doing flaps if I get a stubby rear (already have one at my age ), but these are removable.
