It'd be either a Spartan or Lock-rite. I ran a lock-rite in my 35 for two years and I was VERY impressed. Well mannered on the road (except under heavy acceleration where torque steer occurred), and fantastic off road. Installed one in my uncles 8.25 on his rig because he liked how well mine worked. But, I'm not sure on the locker just yet. There are other things I would like as well...frame stiffeners, ext brake lines, quick disconnects, etc.

 

I didn't know that your uncle had locked his 8.25. Did the 3 link come with the mounts?

 

Yea I installed it for him over this past spring break. The arms didn't come with the mounting brackets, spacers and crush sleeves...but I just got off the phone with Rock Krawler and they will be shipping them to me tomorrow. Should take about 4-5 days via UPS for them to get here since Rock Krawler is out of NY. Those cost me another $200. But, for a total of 400 spent on a 4 link....I'm pretty damn happy. That's cheaper than any long arm kit I've seen. The arms, joints, and bushings are in pristine condition with the only thing showing wear being the anodizing on the arms themselves.

 

Thats what I figured, I was gonna say get those before a locker haha. This thing will be a new beast come fall

 

Haha yes sir. There's only one problem...I just went through my calendar and I have no clue where I'm going to get the time to install everything. My uncle and I are going to try to get the track bar and steering installed Wednesday or Thursday. The arms I'm not sure when I'm going to install.

 

We can get the installation done at school if need be, I'm excited man, this thing is gonna be freaking awesome, if I could get down towards Raleigh I'd help you with it but I don't see any time for making that trip this summer

 

There's always Sam24h's garage haha. I finally got to see it last weekend. It makes me jealous.

 

I felt the same way when I first went to his house lol.

 

You should see it with the exo haha. Crazy thing to me was that it's almost as loud as mine was with an open header

 

Haha I've been to Sam's. I helped him install his lift. I'm going to get the track bar and steering done tomorrow morning or Thursday morning. Planned on doing it today but my bad luck streak for this week is still continuing. Took dads truck to dump tree limbs and got stuck. almost made me late for work. Had my sister drive my jeep to the dump so I could pull the truck out. Apparently 3000 lbs of tree limbs sinks in no matter what time of wet ground its on.

 

Well I got the RE track bar and bracket installed along with the new steering. It still seems that I have something loose because every time I hit a bump I get a slight wobble. Gonna replace the sway bar links and bushings soon to see if that's it.

Also, the brackets from rock Krawler aren't shipping until the 9th so looks like I'll be installing the 3 link the following weekend provided they get here in time.

 

Well I'm STILL waiting on the 3 link brackets to get here from Rock Krawler...

In the mean time however, I have ordered extended brake lines and quick disconnects. The brake lines will be here Friday and the disconnects will hopefully be here next week in time for the the URE run. I ordered all that as a bday gift to myself haha

 

Woohoo the brown sleighed Santa showed up with some goodies. I'll finally be installing the 3 link tomorrow along with extended brake lines

 

Lucky... I want a wicked crawler haha.

 

Well it's not there yet. Still gotta install it all...seems pretty straight forward but we all know how those projects end up...

I've only got this weekend to it everything installed and ready to go. Gonna be busting my *** these next two days
