Talking Evilcow gets 4.88s!

Well, its been about 2 years since We put the 3" 4crawler body lift on his rig. SInce then, he has had to deal with the 4.10s and 33s.:cry:

SO, since I have completed the SAS on my rig, I didnt ned these anymore so I sold them to Dave (Evilcow).
THe front is locked with a lockright and the rear is open (for now) Dave spends much of his time on the road and doesnt do a lot of hard core offroading so this setup is perfect for him. I have personally done some extreme trails with this setup and had great results. SO I know he will get a lot of good use for them.


Since Dave doesnt have all the tools or a garage for this, he came down to spend the weekend with us and wrench on his rig.Here is the lineup of the rigs at the shop!
MIke, and Dave tackled the front, while I took care of the rear. The rear is an easy swap, but the front is the bear on IFS rigs.


While in there we took the time to replace the ball joints and adjust the rear brakes and parking brake lever...




I had been running the rear diff in my rig for the last month or so, because I blew out the rear locker in mine.
SO now my spare is a 4.10 set that really hurts my performance with 35s!!!!

It was a great time and we were done in about 6 hours. No major problems were encountered, and we are spending today on the beach testing out Daves new setup!!! :bigclap:

The front third member isn't THAT much of a bear.

You just have to be able to bench press 80 pounds... for 5 minutes... and use two wrenches at the same time
