Hey fuck you guys. Lockers are too expensive right now...

 

Once I have the cash, 4.56's and a rear locker will be on the way. Then back to my 34's!

 

Unless you need momentum. ATRAC/traction control, it all sucks momentum like crazy.

 

With the rear locking diff ATRAC really only works the front end of our trucks anyway, I can't think of a single situation I'd have ATRAC on but the locker off. Every time I've used ATRAC and needed more skinny pedal it's crumbled to a crawl.

 

Guess I'll just call up @goblue82 for help haha.

Side note, I talked to my manager today. Starting tomorrow I'm working 7-3 instead of 9-5. Hopefully that will eliminate lots of traffic.

 

So lucky. My job is 9-6 in LA but I'm leaving at 5 am to avoid traffic and going to the gym nearby to swim.

I'm hoping that after I'm there 6 months or so that they will let me come in early (like 5:30) and leave early (like 3ish).

 

I never use A-Trac. Just never need it with the locker.

 

I anticipate not needing it once I have a locker and regear.

 

I have to turn mine on for it to engage.

Edit:
I misread. Yes I do have an off switch.

 

Ass end of Yorba Linda to Monterey Park. I'm off gypsum Canyon exit before it goes to Corona and all that

 

Pasadena to Beverly Hills...

 

Take a look at this thread. It's a cinch. I change mine every 4th oil change. Earlier if Ive been in and out of a lot of water or mud (I hate mud). Even with the diff breather mod. That's just me though. Plenty out there that will say im changing it out excessively. My style isn't everyone style. My money, my build, my way. Haha

Anyhow, this thread is from the 2nd gen but its gonna be damn near identical to what you have going on.

I do the same. Live in Northridge and work in Downtown LA. I drive all the way around the San Fernando Valley to avoid 5 and 101 freeways. Saves a ton of time and only cost a little extra gas.

 

When I lived in Pasadena I used to teach part-time at a private institution in Beverly Hills off of Robertson Blvd. It was a terrible drive, I hated it...had to be there by 9am and would leave no later than 7 to get there on time, sometimes earlier.

Half of it was taking city streets to avoid the freeway but it was still terrible because everyone else's google maps and Waze was taking them the same way.

 

Yeah already done haha.

I like leaving early haha. I wake up at 5:30 every day.

I get paid for mileage

 

Ya the traffic going home is always bad. The "best" is when I workout after work and leave at 7. I need to move haha

Where in dtla do you work? Let's get beers or

 

I work in DTLA about half the time. Love driving around there...

 

It took me an hour one day to get to my girls house cuz I fucked up and got off on thr wrong exit. Worst hour ever.

 

Haha one of my buddies was late to work by 30 min for making a wrong turn a block away.
