Link?

Yeah i got the ones from WabFab

Link for what? lol

What time Thursday evening?

 

Resectfully disagree with this. His truck has manual hubs so the front axles only spin when the hubs are locked in. On a newer 4runner or Taco with ADD I would do the diff drop with any amount of lift, but I think for the amount of time the hubs will be locked and the amount of lift that the front axles will be fine.

 

just a warning on the procomps, looking back I wouldn't get them. at least not factory ride height ones, can't speak for their 2-3" lift ones, but mine in the rear seem a little short, not sure on the fronts. I got the es3000's in all 4 corners.

 

Ok so no so no diff drop?

I can always return them.

 

true rob but i have manual hubs with bj spacers and i have torn my cv boot about 4 or 5 times. i replaced both cvs and both my boots are torn again. lol thank god i finally got the diff drop.

 

You really shouldn't need the diff drop. Maybe something else is causing boot failures? What are you replacing them with?

 

i been replacing the cvs with the advance auto life time warranty axles. i do have my front cranked about .5" but the angles were the same. 4runners might be different than pickups but i think the diff drop would be a wise investment that might save him a lil time and money down the road. lol

 

That's cool BackGateYota, not trying to disagree with you. I'm waiting to see how my CV's last, you might be right. I actually have my T-bars relaxed a bit for the most flex possible. For now I am going to wait & see. I really want to use an IFS brace (working on one this week) & full skids but they are not compatible with a diff drop.

 

oh ya man its cool yotarob. i do think me cranking the t-bars has alot to do with it but idk. lol thats the only thing i hate about diff drops is i want a IFS brace so bad. haha

 

The only real issue I can think of with the torn boots would be that he has ADD and not manual hubs.

I'll be installing (I hope to be) 1.5" spacers in 2 weeks. I have them just not the time for it yet. I know of a lot of folks that run with spacers and not a drop bracket. I do plan on changing from ADD to manual as well. Probably not till next year though. Gotta rip the parts truck apart first.

 

So diff drop or no?

 

I had a new axle last 1 day I put diff drop in and shimmed bump stops . you could actually feel pass side binding when the wheel hung free. I would use them .

 

Prob a good idea to use them then, better safe than sorry.

 

Ive been doing a little research and it seems that the ARB Air Locker is the locker to go with. Opinions?

 

ya man i would get the diff drop. if i would of had a diff drop from the get go my cv boots prolly wouldnt of torn. oh and the arb air lockers are very very nice if you have the money. lol

 

Alright diff drop it is! and ill start saving for my air locker.

 

A little offroad fun


Thought this was cool i had 248,248 miles on route 248

 

wow...are you still growing?

looks good.....definitely need to paint that shell and wheels and tires.....and (my opinion) paint the valence black.

the 248's....cool beans.

 

Supposed to be 6'9" got 2" to go! lol

The shell will be painted asap, the wheels will be replaced with Cragar Soft 8's asap and the valance is staying yellow! lol
