when i bought mine it was for $300.. completely stock, been sitting out back of some dude's house for years..

If i were to do it again.. save up the money and buy one aready built..

gears, locker, longs, etc...

I have all those now, just need arp studs and hydro assist and the front will pretty much be done.

 

So picked up a front high pinion, 5.29 diff with arb air locker, compressor, wiring, and switches for a steal of a deal the other night..

Gonna tear down my front axle and throw that bugger in there..

Guess its time to update my sig now. Shoot i have had the longfields " that were comming soon" for a month now.. lol

 

Mike you take this thing through the con yet???

 

haven't been anywhere with it..

Keep blowing up rear diffs.. we think were gonna plan a run to the con for 4th of july..

And if not then, then definitly the marlincrawler roundup in september..

id like to do both!

 

Mike i cant tell you that you do not want to go on the 4th of july. it gets realy busy. it can be a headache

 

hey red car, i'm getting a sc on saterday... yeah..

 

Eh.. you shoulda seen us at MCR.. that was crazy busy.. lol

And that is DEF AWESOME vitaly.. i can't wait to hear how you like it!

 

Got that high pinion front arb 5.29 diff put in last night! :woohoo:

Bad news is the front diff i took out that i was gonna throw in the back had a broken ring gear also.. So i guess im out for the snow season...

 

before..


After..

 

Looks awesome! Cant wait till I can afford a hi pinion.

 

Cool, I hate you.

high pinion mmmm lol thats cool mike. i got a question for you, how do you think a trutrac up front would work? think it would be alright? im also going to do the 3" TG Kit now and run some 35"s

highjack over

 

Id rather run a full locker than a limited slip.. That is just my opinion though.
But it would be better than open.

(im rolling on an open 4.10 rear right now because i need to buy some more 5.29's and no funds at the moment) So no 4wd until i get some money..

 

yeah true a locker is much better but doesnt that lack of turn ablity get annoying? lol. noe being able to unlock the diff can get annoying but i have never had a locker so i wouldnt know how bad it really is.

god mike you burn through gears like crazy lmao.

im thinking dirty 30's for my axle, lifetime warranty, and TG has run them in there rigs with no problems so... seem alright since i got a guntless 22re, and dont beat the crap out out of my yota lol

 

Turning sucks with a locker in the front, its not too bad but i don't know how much it has to do with the locker since i run big tires. However the slight problems with turning is isn't really that big of an issue to me and i would not sacrafice the performance benefits of having a locker due to the slight turning issues.


so far it has been 4 5.29 diffs ive destroyed.

1st one- Zuk set it up, lockright broke and when i pulled the diff tooth missing off ring gear

2nd one- Bought a welded 4cyl 5.29 diff and i broke the whole carrier in half

3rd one- bought another welded 4cyl 5.29 diff and whoever set it up didn't locktight the ring gear bolts in and three of em backed out and went through the gears and destroyed them

4th one- was in my front diff, and pulled it to instally my arb and there was a tooth missing off the ring gear. I don't understand how this one happened because honestly i have taken it easy in 4wd for the most part since i always had stock birfs and didn't want to break them, so i didn't abuse the front end.

i don't like trail gear and quite frankly id rather save up another extra hundred and buy longs.. I got lucky and got longfield 30 splines and hub gears from a buddy for cheap.

 

good point mike, maybe i shouls just put lockrights front and back and just fight it.

lmao thats a joke dude so many diffs holy tt. maybe get a v6 3rd, high pinion, 5.29's, and a super strong detroit locker, then try and break that lol

 

I bet i could still break it..

A detorit would be nice in the rear.. but i will probably go spooled, open, or another arb..

 

lol yeah u will break it somehow haha only reason i mentioned detroit is that its a whole new carrier and there super hard to break lol. guess thats what you get when you have a 3.4 and 40''s hey

 

you mean 3.4L, 40's, and a heavy right foot.. lol

I just think the issue is that all of them, except the first one, were most likely set up wrong.
