My local Lowes has buckets for $2 I think; however, I haven't bucket washed my car lately. Power washer + foam cannon + grout sponges (which are disposable)

LOL. I love the idea of recycling these things.

Griots makes great stuff but too much money for a bucket, 5 bucks and I have 5 5-gallon drums.

Time to get some whiteline diff bushings or spl's. Found that it's a common issue among other common issues with the Z. Had mine replaced about a month ago.

Looks like a bushing. Diff won't do that unless your filler plug fell out, which is unlikely

well, theres a breather hose to the diff. once you overheat oil starts to throw up out of that breather hose

We drove by there today, it looked like a mad house. Took the Z a nice drive down T past St. Albans, then through Washington, MO and back up highway 94.
