IFS/manual hub ideas
So in less than a month I am going to do 4.88 gears in my rig. I sick of frying my clutch on any hard trail on go on. What I am thinking is while I have have my IFS torn apart to do the ring and pinion, I should probably do a locker or lsd. I know if I were to put a lunchbox locker in there, I would need selectable hubs. Has anyone took the always locked hub, went to a junkyard, and tore off all the necessary parts to off a donor truck to make it selectable hubs? Would I need selectable hubs for a tru-trac lsd? would it suck trying to turn if I didnt? BTW ARB is too expensive, I am a college student doing all the work in my parents garage
OR SHOULD I JUST SAY SCREW IFS AND GO SAS?....................UP FOR SALE--SAW 2.5 COILOVERS AND CAMBURG UPPERS haha

Get the ARB, you'll have spent that much on manual hub pieces anyway. :2cents:

You do have a good point about the cost of the hub swab vs just doing a selectable locker. But what about doing a lsd? Would I need manual hubs for it?

Well this is a trail rig right..... If you dont drive it alot on the road it might not be that bad.
If your going to do a manual hub swap, ditch the abs and just get junkyard spindles and cv's
