Don't forget Cesar Chavez Day

 

You know... I just don't go with her.

Pants-shitting not required, lol

 

Who's going to hold her purse?

 

I would tell you to show her who wears the pants in the relationship, but you probably shit in them already.

 

That's so patriarchal.

 

Probably so

 

and being hot, no less...although there's probably an online p0rn niche that she could excel in with that....particular skill set.

 

yeah and it'd probably be perfect with 33s...although I dunno if it's worth the hassle to change out both front/rears for such a small difference. Eventually I want to add a front locker, guess I'll decide when that happens

edit: probably won't now that I think about it, cause that would mean having to source a 4.3 rear with a locker and I've already got an e-locker. Maybe I'll regear someday if I consider 35s, which won't be for a lonnnng time

 

Why would you need to source a whole 3rd member, can't you just re-gear your existing one?

 

yeah true, I guess I could...I don't know much about re-gearing TBH. Would I be able to use my current e-locker if I just changed gears in the rear or are the e-lockers specific to certain gearing?

 

I gave into the 33s peer pressure...most of the guys I wheel with have upgraded to 35s so now I'm facing that pressure but that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Watching them constantly having to replace CVs, tie rods, fix steering racks, etc. has turned me off to that idea lol

 

now that would be fun to see/watch on the 1st gen IFS setup...just gotta bust out that angle grinder

 

That's what my rear end shop told me. Not worth going to 4.56 from 4.10, such a small jump & told me I probably wouldn't even tell much of a difference. So I went to 4.88 with 33's & I'm happy. But in your case 4.56s with 33's would be good since you're manual & I believe you've got 255's?

 

surely that isn't IFS is it? Or some kind of extreme drop bracket lift if so

 

There was a guy with 37s on his ifs taco. Forget the name

 

Yeah I'm getting to that point as well, doing the hard 'black diamond' rock crawling trails is fun but I'm getting to the point where the damage that's likely to happen (or does happen) is getting old fast. I do like taking the harder trails though that lead to some of the best camping sites since less people are likely to take the trail.

 

I only go to the mall and pick up those few extra pounds type chicks. I only have to worry about breaking seat plastics this way.

 

I can write a book with all the things you say.

 

Just keeping it real. We're all not banging tens and driving lambos

 

As far as I know, yeah. The E-lockers usually have 4.10s (afaik). The diff size is different btwn the locker and non-locker diffs, like they're 8" instead of 8.4" or something like that, but that shouldn't limit what gear ratio you can get.

I think the only advantage to getting a whole 3rd member is you don't have to worry about the lash on the ring/pinion and it's more of just a bolt in affair, but I'm not 100% sure on that... IMO it's worth it to just take it to a gear shop and have them do it unless you know what you're doing.
