Well The Time Has Come

Well everyone, I have been patient, I have run the stock gears with the lift long enough....I am finally sucking it up and re-gearing to 4.88 and at the same time installing front and rear air lockers...I hate to spend all the money all at once, however, since the diffs are going to be open, now is an optimal time. I will report back with some pictures and information when it is all done!!

Thanks for letting me share!

Mike

Sounds pretty sweet. Schaefer claims to not even have to steer going up the poop shoot with his front Airlocker and rear electric. That's cheating. (J/K) Now the only thing holding you back is that rear hitch and bumper.

Ya Matt.....after this there are a few things that need to take care off...first the Twin Turbo, second the rear bumper, and third a skid plate that is worth a crap!

I am pretty excited to get this done, probably more so for the gears, however, the lockers should be fun

Sorry we really didnt get a chance to chat at the run last week..I would have loved to continue on with you guys!!!

Mike

TT for your ride on the rocks isnt going to be too fun. I'd imagine once you hit boost youll spin tires till you're red in the face?

Actually they are going to boost very similar to a S/C...we can achieve max boost at 2500 RPM if we wish...

It will take some development, however, I am optimistic
