San Diego BS Thread.

Thanks!

Thanks. I've never heard of one of our trucks having to be weighed for registration before. Was there some unique circumstances involved?

 

Yup, that was me. I got a quote from 4wheel parts for $2200, that's parts and labor.

 

Like gear swap or 3rd member swap?

 

Do not let those hacks touch your truck, go to the SD Truck Shop and talk to James. I think when I asked him about gears it was closer to $1600

 

What do you need to weigh yours for ? Ordering a custom leaf pack ?

 

Front and rear and rear locker?

 

I was registering it here from out of state (WV). If I didn't have it weighed they would go by the titled GVW which is something absurd like 8000#. With the FWC I weighed in at 6000# which saved me just over $100 so it was worth it.

 

No sorry I didn't know he was looking for a locker too, just gears but I would still suggest the truck shop over 4WP.

 

No locker yet. Locker alone will add $900. Right now I just want to re-gear front and rear.

 

What gears you doing?

 

Looking at doing 4.56.

 

I got 4.56 in my rear. I want to do a locker and gear change to 5.29 if you want to do a diff swap. It is open diff though.

 

The only downfall to doing that is, I won't be able to use 4 high until I can find a place and the rest of the money for the front, unless the truck shop is a decent price.

 

I can hold off. I can do my gear change later. Figure a diff swap would be more beneficial to someone than me pulling out used gears since all the cost is in the labor. I only put about 2k on the gears and the last owner only had them for 6 months to a year on a lifted tundra.

 

I do have most of the money, but I kinda bought a Prinsu roof rack for the canopy to match the cab. I do have one question, and that's, is your rear end 8.4?

 

Yup it is the 8.4 It in an 04 tundra axle.

 

No need. Just a curiosity of mine.

Good.

Did you register as PM body type? This avoids the ridiculous perpetual weight fee imposed on trucks.

 

I'm looking to re gear also very soon

 

Yeah, the chick at AAA was very good about saving me money, well worth the membership and convenience they provide.

 

Unfortunately I dont have the tooling for doing the front "Clamshell" type axles...I can do standard ones though, although that doesnt help somebody needing the front done too.

Sorry guys!
