Well I finally got my front lockrite in with 4.88 gears. Man was it a pain to get the front cross member back in! But when i got it back together and locked it up i proceeded to crawl up this 2 ft high or so wooden railroad tie embankment and on 31 inch tires i thought it was pretty sweet. I know i am a newb but holy ลลลล this thing will climb anything i point it at with both axles locked!

 

 

no install pics, i thought most everybody has seen those before and i forgot my camera during my little bit of fun. Looks like I will have to do it again lol. That is if you guys care to look at a stock suspension 31 inch tire yielding toyota pickup climbing stuff.

 

Pics are pics. As long as you are running something over then it doesn't matter if it's stock or not.

 

Sounds like it is working as advertised. Glad your happy with it.

 

Yes, most of us have, its just a good chance to show off your rig!

 

ya it is coming along nicely, going down to tuttle this saturday. Hey when i was putting it together yesterday I realized I still have your wrench! Im not sure what happened but I completely forgot about it, you goign to be busy on wednesday I want to get it back to you.

suspension is next on the install list, then tuttle creek domination will ensue lol.

 

well if it is pics you guys want it is piles of pics you are going to get

 

Wednesday will be fine. I would like to go down this weekend, but mine is still a 2wd poser rig.

 

how does that locker do just driving around town? im thinkin about gettin that for my front too.

 

well as long as your hubs are unlocked you dont even know its there, but once its locked you are driving a totally different animal offroad!

 

cool. i guess i need to get manual locking hubs too, haha. thanx man.

 

so the front crossmember has to come out to remove that front diff?

 

well it depends on who you talk to, its only 4 bolts and it makes it 10x easier to move the differential around, the tricky part is getting the crossmember positioned back up there again to get the bolt holes all lined up. I think it is possible to get the diff in and out without removing it but i wanted to just lift and lower the diff with a floor jack so i wouldnt drop and damage it. I followed the intructions for removing an IFS third at www.gearinstalls.com

 

As Mr. Flygt likes to say "Lift and tires are cool on the internet, gears and lockers are cool on the trail" You did things in exactly the right order...Very nice...

I don't know if you HAVE to remove the xmember, but it will make your life MUCH easier...a rubber mallet solves the problem of getting it back in....and ZUK's site is VERY good.
