Are you going to do the job ??
I think the axle up-grade is a wise move...... You will be thrilled by the disc brakes.....
I am just a phone call away if ya need any help.

Take it easy as long as they tell you. It is really important for recovery. Have family that have had back surgery many times for not following that. I hope you a speedy recovery!

Yes sir I am if we go ahead with it. I would love the IS but just can't see spending the extra money nor do I have the time to go get it done. If I recall correctly, it was around $3200 for it all when you had it done. The axle swap shouldn't take a couple of hours, it's the brake wiring harness getting fished up through the filon and then tying it in would be time consuming I believe..

Really, I think it takes longer by the time you clean everything.... and drop one end of the axle on your foot......
For sure.....It takes what it takes.
