Yea. im not really.

i just want to get it done! HAHAHA

I want to be able to do brake stands in my 4runner, not the limited! lol

Man where are those 5.29's?

We will have to go wheeling as soon as i get my diff back! You will have to bring some recovery straps as well as mine. Since i will only have 2wd! lol

Okay, i spent a bunch of time yesterday cleaning out the rear housing. There was a TON of metal flakes in there. TONS.... I used somewhere around 2 1/2 rolls of those blue shop towels and like 3 cans of brake cleaner. So i believe i got it pretty darn clean.

So i still haven't gotten a call to pick up my differential. So while i am here, do any of you put an extra magnet inside the axle housing to help collect metal particles? So then i get to follow the fun break in period for the new gears.

904_runner · 11-15-2008, 10:58 PM

BTT:

Still no differential. Hopefully tomorrow.
What do you guys recommend for new gear break in fluid? just some cheap valvoline then switch to redline or something?

904_runner · 11-16-2008, 10:27 AM

To the top!!!

The cheap stuff. Its cheap and, atleast for some motors, it is better for break in.

904_runner · 11-16-2008, 09:17 PM

Thank you!

motor? lol

Well, the guy was closed for the weekend i guess, so hopefully tomorrow. Once i get that damn differential back, i can start driving my rig again.

And hopefully in a week or so i can order my sas kit. Still deciding between Trail Gear and Marlin though. I keep switching back and forth. Don't get me wrong i like marlin crawler and everything, ive bought quite a bit of stuff from them, but that extra savings of the TG kit might be worth it for me. But quality, durability and how i like the company are important to me. I haven't had a problem with Marlin, but i have never experienced purchasing things from Trail gear.

Ive been Pm'ing some people who have used either kit, and it seems both kits are really liked by the people who use them.

So if anybody has any input on either company, please share, i would love to hear peoples comments from both companies to make my decision.

Thanks
-Mike

904_runner · 11-17-2008, 10:20 AM

TTT!

Still no differential!

Ill try calling the guy on my break

85toy · 11-17-2008, 10:33 AM

904_runner · 11-17-2008, 10:36 AM

Travis, im not even going to click on that link.

AHAHAHAH.. I need to start driving my own truck. This automatic 4runner is driving me nuts! lol. At least it has the 3.4 and a good stereo system! lol

904_runner · 11-17-2008, 08:33 PM

ttt...

So anybody wanna make any recommendations for either Marlin or TG sas kits, besides go with who you wanna support.

85toy · 11-18-2008, 05:42 PM

skyjacker... but in all seriousness just grow a pair and pick one.

Please tell me what you think!

Jay351 · 11-19-2008, 10:39 PM

You lucky SOB! Im quite jelous of what you're doing... hope to see it completed soon. Post more pictures

904_runner · 11-20-2008, 12:26 AM

lol

Installed my 5.29 rear diff because i need to drive my truck. It is much quieter than before it took it in. I can't comment on the difference in power, since i was driving it sooo slowly since the gears are new. Only drove it for like 20 minutes to start the break in period

Btw in case you were wondering. I took the rear sway bar off to take out and reinstall the diff, and when i put it together i left the end links unattached to see if there was a difference. And without the rear sway bar there is SOOOOO much body roll its ridiculous.

scuba · 11-20-2008, 12:41 AM

lol, I wasnt wondering...But thanks for the heads up...

85toy · 11-20-2008, 05:06 PM

hey mike how much did you pay that guy the first time he did it?

dont mean to scare you but my dad just looked at you gears and said it way off lol.

85toy · 11-20-2008, 05:07 PM

904_runner · 11-21-2008, 09:02 PM

btw 5.29's = rocks! Nothing like topping out at 75 on the highway!

scuba · 11-21-2008, 09:12 PM
