You can get away with a little less so far - Sleep Inn is $99, Rodeway in is $109

 

Zj coils? Dodge ram control arms? 4" shocks?? Hmmmm I believe I have those things in my garage...

 

Found a kid with a lock-right for my 30 on ksl he wants $175. What do you guys think? Do I got time to pull some funds outta my a$$, & get her installed before go time?

BTW Jeff your right ...7 days. haha

 

Since you asked, heres my opinions. Remembering that the way I do things is slow and steady, so this is just that, my opinion based on how I operate.
I'd be hesitent to undertake such an upgrade so close to an outing. 1. Your pushing the envelope on time, when I'm in a rush, things never go as planned and it ussually does'nt end well.
2. Was'nt your last locker nightmare a lockrite? That would make me nervous if I did'nt have time to work out the bugs before a trip like Moab.
3. I'd rather have the $175 in my pocket in case I break in Moab. I'd worry that a locker in a D-30 with no other upgrades would gaurantee a break.
4. Beefing a D-30 with a locker without backing it up with atleast stronger shafts and possibly a truss would make me nervous.

Again, just my opinions. Not that I know anything, just my perspective.

 

I'll run it by him and have him get a hold of you, thanks Zach.

 

Depends if you can afford it, a lock right barely takes an hour to install. The longest its ever taken me to install any lockright was an hour, and that was cause I had to go get new springs for it since the old ones were worn down.

 

Would'nt you worry that throwing a locker in a stock D-30 might be running a bit of a risk of tearing it up?

 

I had Aussie issues before, but ya I think your right jeff I'm getting ahead of myself! I wouldn't have a problem doing in time, but don't feel like breaking the first day down there & be f'd! Granted spare shafts are on hand, & i'll have a trailer for any serious issues, I shouldn't chance it this late in the game. If the dudes still holding the locker when we get back I might snag it!

 

Ya stock D30 on 35"s. I think its hard to steer NOW in binds! Haha

 

YES! lol (if you can do it without stressing about it) but if it would make things tight it would be better to sit on the money. And ONLY if you swap out the skinny shaft at the same time lol

Good points!

thanks for the heads up. when i called/looked on line I didn't see those palces. but I think ive got it covered now

Yes but, everything can brake.... and with more traction means less throttle (for most people LOL)

 

I've installed 2. one of them was very quick and easy... about 30-40 mins.
the other was hell (my front) I couldn't get the cross pin out without taking the ring gear off and had to tear down my hubs/axles/diff ect... but then again it would've been about 2 hours had I not needed new carrier bearings at the same time...

 

For some reason I was thinking it was a lockrite but either way.

 

I chanced it lol, haven't even tested it... I guess ill go do that right now.

 

I know lots that run lock rights in their stock 30 with 35's lay off the skinny pedal and don't get the front end on a bind and it'll last for a while. No matter what with 35's on a 30 its only a matter of time before the ring gear goes anyway. I managed to get a yr out of my 30 on 35's before I started not caring how I drove, then I couldn't get a ring gear to last 1trip LOL

 

Anyone whoes seen you drive will understand that statement 100% Lol!
