Not right now just laid out like $4500 in 3 days got to take a chill pill for a little bit.


But this will do for now I will have 4:88 gears, chromoly shafts, lock right up front, and my lift and tires. funny thing is I didn't even know you or that u lived in san Antonio! our jeeps are similar in build I almost went with arb front and rear but decided not to go that route.

Everything I got other than axles I had on my old jeeps so I know this stuff performs great and is beefy!

I live in lytle tx right outside of south san Antonio only 20 mins from down town san Antonio if anyone wants to come out and help this weekend with putting this stuff on

 

Very nice. Our rigs are very similar. Haha I too have the 4.88 gears and chromoly shafts. I did my shafts and lockers at the same time. Blew all my savings. Still haven't recovered from that purchase.

If anyone goes with lockers for the front, go air! I did the cable and lever actuators and there is no good route to run it. I may switch out the actuator to air one of these days.

I would go out and help you with the install if I was in town.

 

I was planning on going air front and rear but then thought about it I don't wheel it enought to spend $2000 for lockers front and rear so I am running this lock right I have and maybe a Detroit in the rear later.

 

if i was going to buy a locker new id probly do a lunch box in the front with chromos and leave the rear open

 

I thought about doin another auto engage like my Detroit trutrac I got in my truck. Its just too much wear and tear on the tires tho. I had to change how I drive it after I installed it. And I wanted the front to be able to disengage when I wanted because trying to turn on tight trails or road while its locked is not easy. When im not locked I can do circles in a 2 lane road. Thats with 35s and the 5.5" LA lift. When im locked I need probly 4-5 lanes to do circles. If your trying to make a tight turn on a trail and have to keep backing up and pulling forward it can be frustrating. Especially if there is no room to back up. I wasnt happy about blowing all my saving on my axles.haha but I did it all now so I wouldn't have to come back to it later.

 

Well I had this lock right from one of my old jeeps that I never installed and I know that I will only get to go wheeling maybe 1 or 2 times a month if I am lucky....work and family limit me on that!

So I did want 4:88 gears for sure that way I can cruise easy at high way speeds and have some sort of power and fuel milage.

The chromoly I knew was going to happen no matter what because of the 35s and lock right.

got my light bar and solid diff covers today

 

What size light bar did you get? I wanna get a 40" for my rack.

 

The one I got is a 40" looks to be well built but only cost $250 so we will see how awesome it is once I get it hooked up.

 

A new 40" for $250??? Where from? You gotta put some pictures up with it on your rig. Im lookn to get the same size for my rack.

 

yea once I get it hooked up I will post pics mounted to jeep but u can see pic of the bar it self on my build page I add all the pics to the begging.

 

I would rather have an electric locker up front with a limited slip out back. As a daily driver anyway.

 

Electric is good too. Anything but cable is what im saying. There is no good way to run the cables because of how they cant make tight bends.

 

I bet u could rig up a pulley system!!!!

 

I dont know how that would work with all the flexing. Im open to learn tho. Right now I just have the cable and levers from ox. The cables are nice and strong. Everything works great, but the way I had to route it is not my preferred way. If they had a diff cover that ran the actuator from the passenger side it would work perfect.

 

working on jeep tomorrow if anyone wants to come hang out and help out!
