Making Of The Willy Mammoth

[Lady Di]

No, all the good trails are closed for maintenence. Some that go there regularly said what is still open is a major traffic jam.
It was worth us taking the time off and spending the money to get there.

[NorCalToy]

Is there something we should know

Just  need to fuel the addiction : >)

Hasn't been updated in a while, so I thought I'd ask for some pics and see what's up. Woot!

  WoW, This has been dead for a while.

I have been busy doing anything but and I'm looking to cange the gears again. The 4:88's are too low for the hwy and 4:10 are too high. I need to find some 4:37 or 4:30's. Yukon don't seen to make them and that is my prefered brand. Stock OEM gears are ok, but I'm not sure where to look. They must be V6 gears.

Anybody have any ideas? 

[unclejpl4x4]

  ( Y )  your alive

[79coyotefrg]

you might have to look into some 4,56 gears,  you should be able to find them, maybe

glad your getting back into it

I like the engine RPM the 4:10's have, but the exhaust temp is a little high on hard pulls up hills. 4:56 is not that far away from 4:88, but if I had a set I'd try them. I'm just not going to buy any to try them out.

It's alive!

4.37s came stock in early first gens. The set I'm running was from a 1980 I believe. I dont think theyre low enough though...I

hey man, long time no see, im going to have a v6 e locker 4.30 rear for sale soon if your interested

[kneedownnate]

Mark, you may want to avoid 4.37.  I've broken 3 sets, all factory set up and all broke the same way, pinion teeth chunked out.  I currently have 4.30 in the rear that's been in there for longer than any 4.37 lasted me without issues.  Aftermarket may be better but 

[*FFC*]

Would 4cyl 4:30's work?? I am pretty sure I have one laying around somewhere.....   

[Rocksurfer]

Never had any trouble with my 4.37's in the 80 truck and when backed up with the 5 speed instead of the 4 they were much better with crawling. Remember though that they were made for the 20r with the 4 speed trans so they could be a little weak for your application. Like I said though even after I upgraded to a 22r hybrid with the 5 speed they held up just fine.

[79coyotefrg]

Please everyone say a Prayer for Mark (even though he's not religious he needs all the help he can get) he's had a stroke and will be having surgery soon.

[Rockcrawlintoy]

no bueno

[topar]

Well I wish him well.  Have not seen him on here in a long time.  I figured an angel smiley could not hurt.

[mudmaster]

My prayers are with you

[fordh8r]

OH NO!    Hope he'll be ok. 

[Redbeard1]

Praying for you mark take care.

[79coyotefrg]

looks like he's gonna be ok.  he's remembering things and can use his hands and legs.
