NJ B.S. Thread

Well I have to verify the CVs are still part of the deal. He didn't mentioned them when I spoke to him yesterday. But he did seem pretty interested in getting the parts gone, so if he does have them I imagine he won't be hesitant to let them go. It's just that the diff is of little interest to me, and it's adding to the cost. I guess I could look into selling it to recover some of the cost.

Oh and to nitpick, this is not a mod, but a repair

I may take you up on that. Especially since I might have to drill out & retap one of the bolts that holds the front skid plate on.

 

Does the diff not work for your truck? If you end up like cyinicalrider you have a spare diff... If I could have a spare truck I would man...

 

I also have a template for the snorkel.

 

Nah my diff works. I really just need the ADD actuator. But the guy wants to get rid of both together. I am not against having spare parts. Quite the contrary, they are great to have around. But the issues are 1) money and 2) space - I don't have all that much space to store parts indefinitely.

 

Can I use it or are you saving it? Does the template get ruined when installing?

 

Store the diff in my basement. Ive got a corner full of truck parts brotha

 

Yes you can and no it does not. If it did would I still have it from when i installed mine?

 

youre a pro so i figured you did some crazy stuff haha I will hit you up about a week before install... Im assuming Ant is about to get into his busy work season like he always does so it might be a while... Unless you wanna help if hes not available?

 

lol if I need truck part storage space, I'll let you know.

 

Do we all not get templates for our snorkels?

 

Im thinking of going to Colorado in the spring. Moab in 2018.

 

I've never been a big fan of the snorkels.

 

So I just spoke to the CL guy and he said he'd do the diff, actuator, and CV axles for $130. Which is $20 less than what he was asking in the CL ad. I am still gonna look at the price I can get from my buddy, but it's looking like I will most likely be buying from this bloke. Plus, he's right in Newton, so I could pick them up same-day. I'll wait 'til tomorrow to see for sure.

@Sub-Zero If you wanted to give me a hand, when would you be free next? I might be able to swing it myself, but I'll let you know.

 

They come with one but he's buying used

 

Might as well just do it all.

right now my fenderwell is acting like a shovel for water because of how its trimmed for my minor rubbing I had going on... Honestly I jist like the look and the extra piece of mind of knowing you have a better chance of not hydrolocking the engine is enough for me. Im definitely not going to go and drive into water up over the hood but to know I can do it is enough for me lol. I kinda want to try winch hill again at rausch... I have a feeling Ill be submarining the truck on that one though so I am hesitant. I had some water in the truck from it last time but luckily I didnmt get stuck...

 

Honestly I got my snorkel for dust reasons. After my trip out west I saw how fast the filter gets screwed after traveling miles on dirt roads. I even got a precleaner as an expairament to see how much life I can really get out of an air filter. Not the "coolest" looking mod but after seeing first hand how they work on equipment I figured I'd try it out.

 

You should find a way to put a light in there. Looks like it'd make a nice lamp at night.

 

Hows the precleaner work for you? Would it help keep snow from getting in there?

 

That has crossed my mind

It works awesome. Even collects stuff spending most of the time on pavement. Got a good amount on my pines trip too. Changed the filter just before that trip so I gotta look to see what it's like. As far as snow I would imagine it would keep it out. Never had a problem with tractors but the truck moves at a higher speed so it's hard to say for sure. I know driving in heavy downpours there is a small amount of water(few drops worth) collected in the bowl.
