just to show you how fast a baddly shimmed rear diff can go bad. my old 2.0 was on the original r+p. My brand new 8t 2.0 got brought out at Byrons off road challenge about 2 weeks ago. I shimmed it before the event, must of been a tad to loose. By my second qualifer(had 2 tanks of practice and 1 7 min qual) my right rear outdrive got damaged because my rear diff just moved a tick back and fourth which caused my dog bone to pop out. not even 1/4 gallon of fuel thru it and bad mesh already caused issues.
