--SWINNYS build-- DYNO RUNS

How hard of a job is that? I have a friend who swears he would never open a diff because it is a specialized job. I'm pretty good at most thongs. When the funds become available I figure I could do it just not sure if you need special tools or what.

Chop looks neat. Cutting the V out and bashing it back is the way to go, looks factory
$2000 to install lockers? is that doing the gearing aswell?, i payed around $400 for just the rear locker install

[Swinny]

I bought the gearing seprate. Same with new bearings and seals. I was spun out when they said that.

[Swinny]

yay picked up the both front and rear lockers today.. cant wait 4.1:1 ratios and new seals and bearings ready to go..
i got carried away and decided to fit the switch's up they look mint but they dont do anything except blow air in the engine bay..

[Swinny]

well im not to sure but have to ask, where going on a holiday soon and my wife will be about 5 1/2 months pregenat and was wondering if she can still go 4x4ing of road as might get bumpy??

[RonBacardi8]

yeah should be fine unless you run 40psi over rocks and you end up like a milk shake , i took my wife 4WD while she was 7 months pregnat, wont do it again (7months in that is) but was all good apart from a wee bit of car sickness

you have lockers now so you wont need to fly up hills ect ect

[Swinny]

Haha lock and loaded ready to crawl hahahahaha

[MarkYounger]

Should be fine as long as it is not a lot. Our road is very bumpy and I have a friend whose wife had to limit riding in the truck as she started having contractions on the road at 6months. (I'm not a doctor but I do work for one) still I would check with your OBGYN

[Swinny]

cheers fellas

If you doing the gears aswell as lockers id deffently be getting a diff specialist to do it! you will need to make sure all your clearances are correct, pinion depth, crown alligned ect. you dont wanna end up out in the bush with a busted centre thatll cost you more than $2000 to fix the damage
$2000 isnt too bad for lockers and gears to be installed, especially with the front diff of an IFS alot of work just to get it out. $1600 is the cheapest ive ever hurd somone getting gears and lockers installed by ARB

lockers themselves are easy to put into the centres, only gotta re-ajust your back lash

just my 2 bobb anyways

loving the truck, very nice
