Ok - I think i got this thing in as good of shape that I can and I am going stir crazy with all the shut-in stuff. Heading up to Georgia to do a chunk of the Georgia Traverse. Planning on hitting the trail on early morning of May 15th starting in Crandall, GA. This is a relatively mild trail - about 335 miles long. Mostly forest service roads with some water crossings but nothing too extreme. Perfect for my first off road adventure. If interested, let me know!

Reason: Add more info.
Replaced the rotoflex tonight. It should have been a simple job but I didn’t do enough research in advance so I didn’t know I would a special tool to remove the existing centering bearing. I guess I will save that for later.
It took me a while to pull my head out of my *ss to realize that I needed to put the truck in neutral to line up the shaft and rotoflex. I also sheared one of the bolts by over torquing it. Fun.
I skipped the change of the inner bearing too. Don't see an issue with it since it wasn't obviously worn or broken. The rubber piece had cracks, so it was time to change it. I changed the U-joint which was pita. Next time I will buy a complete shaft. Not worth the effort given the price for a shaft.
