im in no rush to building my runner. i figure i do it step by step so that way i dont miss anything on my build. do some research spend some cash save money do more research spend more cash. thats the only way i think i can build my runner up. i cant just save a bunch of cash to just throw down on everything i need at once. so itll be a while till my runners ready to go

is this a good deal for a gear and locker package? whats the full master rebuild kit (is it recommended when changing gears) and why is it called a full SOFT locker.

$755 for a parts kit you dont know how to install, when you can get a complete 3rd alreadysetup with a 1 year garrantee from Marlin with a detroit and 529's for $995

you'll most likely pay $200 plus to have the parts installed , so why not get it from Marlin and have a warranty

atoyot · « **Reply #38 on:** Jul 25, 2007, 09:51:30 AM »

im trying to see if i could save so i could put that extra money to a marlin sas kit and rear kit.

i m starting to work on my diffs and dont know where to start. do i unscrew all those bolts that connects the diffs to the axles first? do i need special tools to get to the gears inside? and is that big bolt in the middle of the flange supposed to be indented because it kind of confuses me on how they got that bolt on there

Take all the bolts out and diff chunk will pull out in one piece. Take that to the gear man along with all the new parts.

That is called a "Stake" The nut is screwed on to the pinion shaft, the pre-load is set with an inch pound torque wrench then a chisel is used to "stake" the nut so it will not come loose.

You are getting into a hobby that is considered a "money pit". From the time, I bought my truck over ten years ago and all of the different mods and repairs that it has gone through I have over forty five thousand dollars tied up in it. You are just getting started.

atoyot · « **Reply #41 on:** Aug 07, 2007, 06:34:52 AM »

so i dont attempt to take that bolt out

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #42 on:** Aug 07, 2007, 08:47:00 AM »

no, dont remove that nut

do you have the axles out of the housing yet ?? cause they gotta come out befor you can pull the 3rd member out

my whole front axle is disassembled except for the 3rd.
my gear and locker(detroit) for my front axle came in today and im thinking of getting an aussie also but have no idea of what locker would be good for the front or rear.

atoyot · « **Reply #44 on:** Sep 26, 2007, 07:48:39 PM »

im a couple of steps closer to my sas. i got the allpro 4'' sas kit. rear diff done. front diff just need gears and lockers to install. driveshaft kit.
i need the rear lift kit but dont know for sure if i should get 5'' or 6''. im planning on getting longs. need wheels and tires . and definitley im getting rock sliders and f/r bumpers.

so close but so little cash. hopefully by the new year i can have this thing done

im a lot closer to get started on my build. i just got my rear suspension kit. and so far all i have left to buy is my longs, get my front gear and locker installed , wheels and tires and armor. that should be it i think.

When I did mine I couldnt afford a front locker and longs (I'm still saving for them). You can always get started and add the longs and locker later

atoyot · « **Reply #49 on:** Sep 30, 2007, 07:46:47 PM »

i have all my parts but the parts i mentioned earlier and so far one person that would possibly do it for me. so when ever he is ready ill probably consider getting my longs later.

ninja turtle · « **Reply #50 on:** Oct 01, 2007, 06:05:26 PM »

yeah longs can wait. see if he will let you help with the build. time to start welding!!

atoyot · « **Reply #51 on:** Oct 02, 2007, 10:40:04 AM »

i'm just waiting for my longs and my front diff. and after that i should be set for my sas besides my wheels and tires.

MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT FRONT END PUT IN STRAIGHT DEATH WOBBLE IS NO FUN TIRES DONT LAST LONG

atoyot · « **Reply #54 on:** Oct 09, 2007, 09:36:06 PM »

have you experienced it first hand. how would you put it in straight?
how would you lose the ebrakes if its in the rear?

lucky7 · « **Reply #55 on:** Oct 09, 2007, 09:40:10 PM »
