How did you mount your roller fairlead?

 

8.8 is getting pulled as I type!

 

Did you sprout a third arm to type and pull?! Congrats man, are you going to regear or lock it before it goes in?

 

Haha I'm actually at an auto salvage that pulls it for you for free! I'm in the building nice and warm when its 18 degrees outside, good deal to me.
I'm throwing it in right now but by Christmas I'm regearing to 4.88 and putting a detroit or arb in there.

 

Yeah, I'm looking into the 4wd swap because it would be cheaper than an air locker. But I'll regear whenever I do it because I have the 3.55 gear ratio.... Haha but that sounds like a real good deal, unless they incorporate the price of the work into the total cost of the product!

 

I paid 100$! And do the swap, it would be worth it

 

I almost bought a donor yesterday but it was low pinion and had atleast 2 leaks but ill keep looking

 

Yeah donor vehicles are the way to go when doing something like that

 

 

Stripping down the 8.8.
My girl even helped




Getting there



Gears look good




What's this sensor on the top of the diff??

 

More work done to the 8.8

 

I believe that is an ABS sensor for that tone ring right there behind that ring gear.

Weld those tubes!

 

Yeah its an abs sensor, ill just unplug it or plate it off, not sure

And the tubes will get welded!

 

All cleaned up ready for welding

 

Just ordered this kit cause I couldnt really figure out what to do about the stock rubber lines(they mount in e old sway bar perches) so this kit should make things easier.
