Bump.
Still daily driving and exploring in my '87 Scottsdale. 330,000 kilometers and counting at 100 km+ a day.
Opened up my differential last week to swap out the gear oil and check up on things. Discovered that my spider gears have takin' a **** kicking over the last year of rippin' around up in the mountains, significant wear on the teeth and the old gear oil had basically turned into a metallic paint. Found myself a new set of gears on eBay for $100, only took about an hour to swap them in. Should last me at least another 100,000 kilometers, unless the price was a warning and my differential explodes by the end of the week.
