What's you setup?
Powertrax might be good option but I'd eventually want to just flip a switch and have all 4 wheels locked. Hopefully one day.

 

I just did that last thursday. It gave me time off to finally finish my swap. Should have done it sooner.
But like bluegrass said, shit can just wear you down after so long. I've never up and quit a job before. But you can only take so mich.

 

HEY!. . . . .you don't say that. . . . . .



haha

 

Cleaning the garage. Got two axles for first gen tacoma with add. Both used, one with busted boot and might need to be rebuilt. Also have add solenoids. Went with locking hubs on my truck so don't need them. Figured I'd give you guys a shot at then before I threw them on Craigslist.

 

@rngr

 

you don't have any leaf springs do you??

Or anyone for that matter? Stock leafs?

 

Whatcha want for the cv's?

 

Nope sorry. $1000 got me everything I could fit in the back of my truck bed from a TW memeber in Michigan. So i loaded up with all my 4x4 parts. The rest went to scrap. Didn't have a trailer, otherwise it would have brought the whole truck back to TN. If you haven't yet, call Nashville spring. They have always given me good a price.

You sound like all the other folks who started out with no rear locker, skeptical of street operation. I've had my Powertrax no-slip for 5+ years now and as stated, the only thing "bad" about it is driveline slop, which for me is remedied by driving habit. The upsides FAR outweigh any downsides. The Powertrax is made for street driving, they rep it as so. Combine it with good oil (I first ran Mobil 1 synthetic and had multiple noise issues, switched to Amsoil and all noises went away) and time for you to get used to how it behaves on road and you may find yourself saying "I can't believe I thought this was ever a bad idea".

The info you got from a friend of a friend may not be wrong. But to generalize all lunchbox lockers by saying "they suck on the street" is just ignorant. The brand locker, what it's designed to do, how healthy it is, what oil is used, what temp it is outside, what gear ratio is used with it, what trans is used, tire size, tire type, tire psi, engine torque, load being carried, your right foot, your memory, your opinion of what is and isn't acceptable ..... all things that equate into good or bad info coming from someone who may have had 1, 5 minute experience with 1 locker or 100s of 1000s of miles with 10 lockers.

I don't know your friends friends but I trust some of these guys experience with this 1 particular locker and 5 out of 5 of them say "I love it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again for my DD." It's cheap, it's strong, it's well behaved on road, it's fantastic off road, it only has 1 failure point and you can install it yourself with minimal tools in a few hours. As Carter suggested, take that ride with him or drive his truck and see how you like it.

Haha, it's true though other than it likes to lean in the corners

 

I'll take em! Thanks

 

All yours. You want the solenoids too?

 

Oh no, that always makes things better. Haha that's at the top of my list of better driving.

 

Sure, why not? Pm inbound.

 

I'll have some soon. They are only about a year old. They were warranties and replaced by Toyota. I added a Toytec add-a leaf.

I'll be adding a new Expedition leaf pack soon, so if you're interested I can hold them for you?

 

Eh, there seems to be a massive ego and entitlement problem amongst electricians. Start time is 7:30. Somehow its ok to show up at 7:50 and still write down 7:30 as one's starting time.

These guys want to work 2 hours. Then think they deserve to be paid for 8.

Been paired up with one dude lately, swear the guy is a fuckin' neo-Nazi. Was trying to justify that fella ramming into the people in VA.

 

I am very interested. I threw mine away after I went to the Allpro std pack. I am building a trailer for camping and looking for leafs to put on it.

 

That's exactly why I saved mine!!
