This is from last weekend. At saddle lake in the highlakes.

 

I have SOOO MANY more photos and vids, ill post up some of the better ones once they finish uploading

 

 

FUN DAY.........
So we got thomas's truck ready for the rubicon trip we leave for in 6days.

will update thread again when we get back from MCR!!!!!!

 

So we ended up making it through the rubicon trail 2x.. wheeled from loon lake to the springs and then back to loon lake for the trailer..

Ran into a few small problems with tomas's rig but nothing mechanical.. Powersteering line and soem electrical problems but were fixed and we continued without a problem after.

 

Looks like a fun time. how does he like the iroks? im mot sure to go with 36" iroks or TSL's?

 

Awesome pics and nice looking yotas! So who broke the long and what was his setup?

 

Sweet wheelin pics i am humbled.

 

hey mike long time no talk. just wondering if you solved the problem of your runner leaning to the right? and if so what was it? sorry i havent been around, lots of crazy things going on here.

 

Yea.. My 4runner leaned to the passenger rear corner when i had coils.. After swapping to leafs everything is good.

 

Sweet wheeling pics!!!

 

Messed around a little today...

So i ended up blowing up my lockright a week ago which took out my ring gear. So i ended up getting a welded 5.29 for a temp setup.. and i like it MUCH better than the lockright....

 

If i didnt know better i'd say thats Alder Lake here in WA

Spool that rear man

 

nice pics! two sweet runners at once. Hey mike have you had any exp with detroit lockers? i want to get one out back and i hear that people dont like how they lock in at bad times on the street??? idk but im going to be street driving alot and dont want a spool. what you think?

 

WARRANTY!! Got to love a company that stands behind their product

I ran a lockright out back and i liked it at the time, but now with the welded rear i actually won't run another lunchbox type locker out back again. My deal with the autolocker was this. It clicks Around every turn, which is tolerable but gets irrating after a while. and it had a tendency to unload at random times while driving which made it kind of sketchy. I didn't have a problem with it in the 2 years i ran it except for broken pins. I was talking with zuk and we came the the conclusion that when the locker finally broke (sheered the pins i believe) the shock load of it is probably what took out my ring gear..

Im going to stick with welded, spooled, or selectable locker out back from now on.

As far as a full detroit locker goes, they are supposedly SILENT lockers and they perform just about the same way as an lockright/aussie would and they are supposed to be a lot stronger. But. they come with a pretty hefty price tag.. You could send a couple hundred more and get an arb.. or get two lockrights for the price of one full detroit locker.

If you are driving on the street and concerned about tire wear, then i would advise against a spool/welded.. at least the autolocker unlock in turns and save your tires.
Yea....
My buddy who broke that said he just threw the birf and that side shaft in a box with $25 and a return address and got his replacement a week later.

 

I LOVE my Detroit, would not trade it for anything. Never had a problem with it unlocking at random times, whoever told you that must have been talking about a detroit EZ Locker which is similar to the Lockright style. I highly reccomend one to anyone that is thinking of purchasing one.

 

Ok thanks mike. And yah tire ware is an ishue for me so i need a auto locker, it seemed to me that the detroit would be stronger and i dont mind spend a couple bucks for a nice quiet solid locker. O what do you think about those E lockers up front?

 

hey mike i just happened to go over to long's house a couple days ago and picked up some axles and hub bearings. let me know cause he only charged me 640 for everything.
