Colorado B.S. Thread

I'm a NO!

 

Now I can be the passenger and enjoy the view and drink

 

@CO MTN Steve you find the spindle Gussit thread I taged you in?

 

Crap, let me look. Think Becca also did but meeting central this week with everyone out next week.

 

Can you do it again?

Off to 2.5 more hours of boredom

 

I love those wheels and want some for the GX if i dont get some Ray10s

 

I was going to answer all this but through conversation you all have it covered. So it does sound like I need to look at starting in the $10k to $12k range.

 

Not yet, they are about 3 hours away from me but might be able to try them soon pending interview on Wednesday

 

What's funny about that is I was looking long and hard for a v8 4Runner or gx470. I ended up with a 2011 Sequoia with the 5.7l and it gets the same gas mileage as them. Just took it on a road trip to Atlanta and the sequoia is the ultimate road trip vehicle! I think it even gets better gas mileage than my lifted 2nd gen on 33's.

 

Turn switch>drive. The torsen has nothing (directly) to do with ATRAC or LSD, it is the open center diff that allows AWD.

 

Right, but a Torsen dif won't let the front not turn while the back does. Last year I got it stuck on an uphill and in awd only the rear was turning. Therefor it cannot be a true Torsen

Edit: to clarify, the Torsen will keep both front and rear shafts moving at same or different speeds, where as an open will still only send power to 1 of the 2 shafts (whichever is less resistance)

 

Does anyone have a pair of Spindle Gussets that they can loan out to get the ball rolling on this?

I'm waiting to get the set @odomandr has, just have to meet up with him. To install them with fresh lowers and hopefully the Kings from Brandon

 

You can easily override a friction type Torsen like that is found in the center differential of that transfer case. It is nothing like a locker.

 

I never realized they had 4 different types, when I was reasurching all I found was the "original" style that used all gears

 

FINE!

Nice snorkel set up you got there.

 

I bet you say that to all the guys

 

Hey don't make fun of my hard last minute work on his 4r right before Moab. That shit works!

 

You’re not the only one...
