thats exactly what i was looking for. I dont think my wheels are stock backspacing, so i just wanted to be sure whatever i get will fit with 31s. Pretty much any backspacing with 31s should fit right?

And sorry i sound so clueless, i cant search alot of stuff here at school.

Stock or less backspacing is fine. If you are looking to add ball joint spacers at some time, then 4.5" or less:

If your not doing any rock crawling don't bother with the 4.7's. if your not doing rocks or mud, do you need a locker? have you needed one yet? im just saying, if you don't need it, send it to me

Maybe, but he said he wasn't going to be doing any major rock crawling, so I figure the money for 4.7s would be better spent else where. But IDK, I have yet to 4x4 out there. Your rocks are more boulder field from what I understand, so ya the lockers would be good.

Yeah the 470s were for the 33s. But since im sticking with 31s im not doing anything to gearing. And a locker is pretty much an essential to offroading. And an aussie locker is pretty cheap.

Do they really make that big of a deal for off road? or are you only saying that because they look way better?

33's are nice but you don't "need" them. Lockers and armor first.

Here is an example of what I could do with 31's, armor, and a rear locker. Yes the skid plates took a beating, but with good line selection and tire placement look at the trucks I was hanging with.

That isnt the right one i dont think, it only goes untill 89s and mines a 90. I think i just need one of the pick up ones. And do i need the 7.5 or 8 inch one? Anyone?

Oh sweet! Yeah i would totally go for that. You would have to wait untill like december though. I need to save up some money, then its a deal.
But i also need someone to confirm that your detroit locker will work for my 4runner. If you are willing to hold on to it for a bit, then i will defanitly get it.

And im still keeping an eye out for some steelies with stock backspacing so i can run 33s.

Thanks for helping me out mudd duck.

Oh, and how much is shipping to 98036?

I don't rock crawl anymore than what's on the trails. I like trail wheeling. If I was going to do it again, I'd've pony'd up for dual stock case before I went to 4:70. Just for the gear options. But at the time I wasn't able to do some of the other mods needed to run duals on a short wheel base. But now that I have 2:28 and 4:70 I don't know how I ever did with out them. I don't care to wheel by throttle with the combination of gears, suspension, lockers, and armor the 4rnr is very capable. Some of the trails get pretty rough especial where big tires and horse power were used. But I just gear the 22re through the same places It really upsets the horsepower guys when they get behind me, but oh well have felt the same when I've had to wait and wait for them to throttle through.

get the part number from him and cross reference it with the detroit catalog or Randy's ring and pinion or marlins, or.... But also search for what is need to install a detroit. It's different than an Aussie/locrite but I hear they are awesome.
