Don't worry. It's just like when they froze Han Solo in carbonite. Little guy never felt a thing.

and in 10,0000 yrs when they find the truck/ shift knob then can drill and extract the DNA for cloning them we can repopulate a small island with turtles

whats the deal?

Well I am not gonna have enough time before the trip to get the aussie in. Still have the yellow top going in...

Now I am thinking Longs and an ARB might be more appropriate..we shall see!

Don't do ARB's one day you will curse, and then think, "He warned me."

I just want one in the front..already have the Detroit in the rear...

What would you recommend RS?

Ok it's not like I don't like the selectability of that type of locker, and people will chime in and say they've never had any trouble with theirs but I've seen and fixed way too many on the trail and that doesn't include the ones that couldn't be fixed on the trail. The problem is you are dealing with several systems to make it all work and if even one fails you are stuck without it. The good thing is you do have the Detroit to back you up, I've seen where a rig only has ARB's and now has to deal with being open, open on the toughest trails. I ran into a couple guys on Dusy, no lockers due to an ARB failure. They were really in a pinch, so I started trying to fix the issue. Fortunately I was able to get it working for them, it turns out that their relief valves were clogged. I had to semi rebuild them basically cleaning out all the dust. This was on a brand new just installed "PROFESSIONALLY" at a shop so even that wasn't an issue. Air, dust and pneumatic equipment are not the best combos. It doesn't take long to have them get clogged.

If I were to go selectable it would be either an E-Locker or a manual.

Yep, I'd go with an e-locker if I had to do it again. You can manually engage them, no air needed, simple yet stout.

Collier, save up and get a hi-pinion with an e-locker from an FJ80. You'll love it

I think I still might be able to see ya'll at Superlift this weekend. Cross your fingers

while driving.

and be very glad I used the geek-specific Link smiley for you.

I got really pissed after this and decided to jump my truck on a rock going up a 45 degree incline and break my output shaft and bend my NEWLY broken in marlin US 4 inch spring very nicely..uuggggghhhh

Looks like a bunch o' necks to me

This is a classic shot of c-money vacumming out his thing with a dustbuster BEFORE he goes wheeling

FJ trail teams was there..yay

I did purchase an aussie locker and then proceeded to turn around and sell it! After watching my friend break 7 birfs in a matter of 2 months and taking many pictures and sitting around (no hard feelings, buddy) I decided I wasnt gonna lock the front until I could obtain a selectable locker of some sort.

It's actually kinda fun being open in the front hehe

What?

?

Yea, I hear that. I have both a selectable (ARB) and Bobby Longs (and a broken truck... hahah!) I think you'd be okay with an Aussie and Longs, though. Then again, I'm not totally sure.

Lookin' good, mayne!

yup...no longs right now either...I just lost my job a few weeks ago so the truck is on the back burner right now...She'll be back....better than ever though

Why is your truck broken??

Jordan7118 · « **Reply #1519 on:** Dec 07, 2008, 11:53:59 AM »

It's not so much broken as it's never been really completed...

Have to wire the rear e-locker, plumb the front ARB, rear shocks, bumpstops all around, new rear driveshaft, figure out tranny tunnel cover / seat placement, skid plates for the belly. Not to mention, I still have some engine gremlins...

Yea, so there ya have it!

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #1526 on:** Dec 08, 2008, 07:30:18 PM »

I think it is going to get in the way, drag over every rock and get bent.

hmm dunno..guess i will find out...i plan on using it to protect my rear shaft a bit..What size DOM should i use for the bottom bar? Im thinking at least 1/4 inch wall minimum

I found this video on the FJ Trail Teams website from the TAC event @ flat nasty....

My truck is on here! for about 1 second....its sitting in the background

http://www.toyotatrailteams.com/?section=2.4.10265
