Alabama thread!

@BamaToy1997 and I have torn into a couple Taco's front and rear ends re-gearing and installing air lockers so far. Fun stuff!

 

Now I know where to go when it's time for 4.56!

 

We did it all in Bills fully equipped shop with a truck lift. He moved to Florida. I don't have the tools.

 

Did you pay about 1400 for locker installed and all?

 

I paid just under $1,400 for locker, 2 day shipping, and installation. Worth that and more seeing as how I was broken down 24 hours from home, they let us use their shop to work on Dave and Johns trucks, and let me use a section of their office space to store my stuff. My mechanic in Arab wouldn't have cost that much to do it, but it also wouldn't have been done in 4 hours total of work on the truck.

 

You're trying to justify the price, but that is the right around cost of 4wp.. So it's about 500 per end at the shop in Moab.

I would've opted for new carrier bearings depending on mileage on truck, that's about another 100.

 

I'm not trying to justify the price, the price is justified in itself and more than worth it.

 

Okie dokie.

For everyone, the markup on ARB stuff is extreme. I didn't realize this till I started messaging sellers.

Find one that will work with you and you can get a crazy good deal on this stuff.

 

To think I may one day far far in future do this again if I run bigger than 33's.

I will say most aggravating part is the backlash measurement on the clamshell.

 

Hey 3rd gens....y'all need some hood louvers right??

 

I wanted hood vents on the camaro. They were more aesthetically designed though.

@BarberRider needs these to alleviate his overheating issue.

 

it started getting hot at aop after i cleaned it. but it was hot outside and we were sitting uphill. didnt do it at all at atr or chocco

 

hot as balls at aop.

 

Agreed, the backlash is a pain. If you don't get it just right, you'll pay in the future.

I'll likely take mine to ecgs when I'm ready to do it.

 

I hate when I forget to fill out my timesheet and have to fill out stupid forms...

 

Plan a trip to NC wheeling and have them take care of you.

They also can have the third members built and ready to go and when you get there just pull yours install theirs.

Less downtime.

 

and just got flu, tetanus, and pneumonia shots good grief!!

 

@stronghammer @TacoAlaMode damn desk job hands! LOL, my hands are actually not near as bad as my back and glutes from sitting on that damn creeper! Manspreading is a real diagnosis and I'm suffering from it today! HAHA
