Got my 2nd locker!!!!
On the door to the apartment I had a Fedex thingy saying something had been left in the office for me. Anyone want to guess what it is???

4.56 IFS with a Lockrite in it from Misterzee here on the forums. Now all I have to do is knock out the studs, replace with nuts/bolts and get it installed! Shouldn't take more than about 2 hours if I take beer breaks.


Now to save some money for the twin stick.


YEAH FOR ME!!!!!

Sweeeet. If you have a grinder, just grind the splines(?) off studs to "make" bolts.

Is that a safe alternative to new bolts?

yeah, just clean up the threads with a wirebrush on the stud and it'll be good as new.

The fastest I've gotten a front diff out on my own was 45 minutes.
If you use a long steel rod and a hammer to punch the bolts out of the CV flange, it makes it so much easier.
Than you just undo the three bolts holding it up and it falls out.
Don't grind the splines off the bolts, they are there for a reason. When you re-install them, you can feel them line up again.

You have a two foot brass punch?
It's tough to reach those studs from underneath. Best to do it from the wheel well.
I removed and installed your front diff for you 874RunnerSR5, remember?

Congrats! Misterzee once drove very conservatively but when he was running that locker things got tippy really fast with all that traction! Hope it works out well for you.

I used my dremel to "make" bolts. Its held up fine so far.

You are gonna love the front locker. I have a Dave'z twin stick and am really happy with it. It's cheaper than TG, MC, or any other one I've seen. Plus it's really stout.
