Time for a little Surgery for my truck, only 109k miles but the joints are worn and need replacing ::)
Took it to a Front End Shop and got the estimate to bring it back up to snuff and being a 4wd just added to the chaos but it needs to be done in order to keep towing The Cyclops :) Complete front end rebuild happens this Friday, but first I need 6 new tires (Dually) so by Monday and 9 Thousand Bucks later, Bad Pig will be road worthy for many more years to come 8)

Ooof. I can't imagine what that costs these days. Glad the Bad Pig is fixed and ready to tote a new bed full of Hooves!
Ayayay, I thought 3k for the suspension mess I had with my Volvo was bad. Glad you're taking it in stride. What tipped you off that you needed the work done?

Tires were starting to wear so I took it in for an alignment, the inspection revealed all the worn parts and then I realized my tires were 5+ years old and starting to crack. Also I had noticed for a while that it was a chore to keep the steering wheel straight while driving on the freeway.
