For my 79 Toyota truck.
I just brought home my new diffs! 4.88 Yukons, LockRight for the front and ARB for the rear. Too bad it's raining so I can't go install them for a few days. I need a garage.
This weekend I hope to get them installed. Next week is the lift and shocks. Then the 4.7's and W56 swap.
I have some 34x10.50 LTB's on the way to. Thats all for now, I'll make a profile thread eventually and post some more pics of the build if anyone wants.



Can't wait till it's driveable!
I'm way to excited about this build.

 

awesome

 

post whore....


awesome

 

lucky i want some

 

I wants some!!

 

I do agree that elton is a post whore....hahaha


Nice, nice. All that money, just sitting there.

 

where did you get them? im gonna need some for my next rig, 5.29s though

 

Very nice. Are your LTB's going to be in the 15" variety? If so, I would love to hear the dimensions yours measure out to when mounted. I'm thinking of getting some myself.

 

yeah 34x10.50-15 I should have them by the end of the week I hope. I'll PM you then.

 

I bought the lockers, gears, and install kits locally. They cost a bit more than online but I live in a small town where if you shop locally it usually works out better for you in the end. Now I get all kinda good deals and free stuff from the shop where i bought them.
Then I installed the lockers and gears at my friend's shop.
If you don't have access to a press and dial indicator for backlash i would highly recommend having the setup done by a shop or buying a complete 3rd member ready to go. Theres no way I could have set up the gears and installed the lockers at home, I just don't have the tools.

 

I'm here in Redding and it just started rain. I just got some new stuff for my yota and go figure it will rain the next few weeks.

If my flatmate would only clean out her garage

 

i think i'd put the ARB in the front and the lock-wrong in the rear

 

That is pretty awesome. I would love to get a 79-83 P/U eventually. Its my favorite body style.

 

thats pretty awesome dude...im gonna be looking prolly at a detriot true trac for my rear and just stay open up front...but im not so sure yet..

 

word. i'd much rather have the selectable up front. unless it's always going to be on the dirt i don't know how well you'll like driving with the front constantly locked...just a thought.

 

x2... arb up front = able to turn

 

Thanks for the input, I've spent a lot of time deciding what I wanted, and for me this setup will be good. It's definitely not a daily driver, pretty much for hunting\camping\ whatever. In 2WD with the hubs unlocked there's no problem. In 4WD with hubs locked then yeah, turning is gonna suck.

 

hey hey, to each his own! i'm happy for you. and a bit jealous....

 

lucky man i will most likely always have a spool in the rear, and then a selectable up front, welded front and rear sucks trying to turn but its awesome in the snow.

 

I hate you.

Guess if the lockers don't behave the way you expected, it wouldn't be much work to swap ends.
