97 4Runner

Here are the DIFF TEAR DOWN pics, and Locker install.

Clean it good.. 139k miles, time to shine!



Mark everything before Taking it apart..

Take it all apart (We did not have to remove the ring gear from the carrier for this.. COOL!)

6 Sets of eyes, surely someone remembers how to put it together.

Put the locker on top of the Gears with Shim. Insert Springs and little metal dowels with Grease to hold it all together.




Bolt it back together!

Put it all back together, and put everything back where it was and your Done.. put it back in the truck!

 

Did you finally decide to go? It will be there with me.. can't wait to see what I can clear with no lift..

 

With no lift you will see just how big of a hang up point that crossmember really is.....trust me.....I know

 

No that is Schlumberger spec. Litium grease. It is actually very expensive & very good grease. Looks like shit though.

 

Aw, man.. don't say that! Lift is too much money, it's not like I can just change or add leafs!

 

LOL I like this one!

I like the runner Sam, its cleeeean. The locker is gonna make a huge difference!

 

Thanks Todd! Can't wait for the end of the month!

 

Hey Sam, I keep forgetting to let you know that I meet up with Sean last weekend & he gave me 1 Rugged Fail to pass your way. I'll bring it next weekend.

 

SWEET, That's two!

 

First day out.. Loved it. The runner did great, something to be said about Awesome A/C while wheeling in this weather. I need one more Tire from Drew, than I am changing them. Sliders will get ordered in July, and the lift... still not 100% sure.

Hahaha that video is awesome!

 

Been a very long time since posting here..

Truck now has a rear bumper and bigger tires along with a Sonoran Steel 1.2 lift. The carpet was completely pulled out after getting in some deep mud. I am currently changing the Timing belt this weekend and the Radiator/Waterpump & AC Compressor is coming this summer. I am always on the hunt for a good deal on an ARB bumper will mount it when I find it.
