I need to get some 37s. my 35s are almost toast. your fenders are still stock arent they??

[Doof [OP]]

o yea, i put that fire pit to shame

[46&2]

Hows the rubbage with stock fenders and 37s? I had some slight rubbage with 35s so I just hacked about 2-2.5" out of my fenders

i hacked some out of the rear but need to take more due to rubbage

thanks... me and clownman on here are going to the welding program also. the highlakes is fun once when its dry, or just a good place to camp for the night. other then that, it pretty much blows IMO.... but yea well hit it up

When does the class your taking start?

dilemma:

i know that running 4.10's with 37s and a single stock t-case isnt ideal in any situation no matter how you look at it. so here is my ? for the fordyce run at the end of the month and forever after

do i sell my body (human body.. joke haha) and make 433.66 for 5.29's (f/r out the door) or do i keep the 4.10s, work my ass off doing stupid and spend 621.00 on a dual adaptor and a rebuilt DL??

Edit: or spend 400 on a 4.7 gearset kit?

or should i just not buy anything and run it how it is right now?

I dont get it man, how can you sell off your body?  Are you talkin about your parts rig?   if you are why not just get rid of it.  But if you can bust balls and get the adapter and rebuild it may be worth it.  Or better yet both, sell the body bust balls and finnish your rig out!! 

[Ramrod]

id gear the tcase in one way or another before the axles,  driveshafts only cost 60 or so

i fixed it for you.. lol

thats a lot to do without a job

id gear the tcase in one way or another before the axles,  driveshafts only cost 60 or so

noted and i didnt know the DL was 60... i was told they are about 200

[DeadlyPeace]

X2 I take that back. Axle gears 1st. Forgot you are running 37's.

noted and i didnt know the DL was 60... i was told they are about 200

Average around $200 for both DL's.

It was $160 for me to get mine done. Clearanced CV and retubed.....

[Doof [OP]]

did you go to high angle in paradise?


just changed the oil that turd and it was burgerling black. FILTHY

but now i have 4.89 quarts of fresh in there and its one thing down on my checklist of things to do.

[46&2]

I say get 4.7s. you are going to need them on fordyce

Yeah

Not really. I did fordyce in my 81 with just a rear locker open front and no duals. I did have 5.29s but I still did it. I hardly ever needed a tug also. Only time I really did was winch hill two where its all slippery. That was also the first time i ever went rock crawling too.

[46&2]

Well to each is own if it was up to me, I would go with 4.7s as a priority over stock duals or 529s. just my 

[kiyul4130]

youd be suprised aj how much a difference your 4 low will be if you regear the diffs.... if you can only afford that do it. once i again i rocked no duals for 3 1/2 years. you can make it happen. its just a little more difficult. whatever money allows just get what you can.

[Doof [OP]]

yea... being locked up front prob will help a lot also

i just dont want to get there and get denied on the first tech seciton and have that be my fordyce trip is all

[Ramrod]

you dont need your cv clearence for the rear shaft, i have a stock ifs cv in mine for 4 years now holding solid,

[slabcs]

Same with mine.  It doesn't bind up on droop.  It gets close, but it works.

[Jud]

I'd vote dual cases or 4.7 kit.

[Goose]

I think im doing just a 4.7 box in mine.
I got 4.10 too, but alot more torque...

[NorCalToy]

id go axle gears for now.itll make i easier to drive around on the street and it should make a pretty big difference in how slow you can go...

[THK Matt]

i say axle gears

[DeadlyPeace]

I vote for the axle gears 1st then the dual case.

[skipnrocks]

What are ya gonna do if ya get denied anyways?? 




LOL  JK man!

[Doof [OP]]

might be selling my 95 runner tomorrow so i might be falling into some change and if that happens then ill prod go duals and a motor swap all in one shot

updates tomorrow after i meet with the gal and her husband
