I hope you don't plan on driving on dry pavement or making tight turns pretty much anywhere other than snow or dry sand.

 

This isn't my first vehicle with a welded diff and I've had Detroits in other vehicles. There are a lot of misconceptions from people who have 0 experience and turning on dry pavement is fine. Parking lots and u turns are not fun because the turning radius at full lock is a little bit bigger; that just means a little bit of patience or thinking ahead. If you'd like to discuss in further detail why I decided not to go with the Detroit I would be happy to continue elsewhere but this thread isn't really the place to discuss that.

To each his own

 

Hope you got chromoly axles with that Lincoln locker.

 

Thanks for the input. like I said I would be happy to discuss the choice elsewhere.

 

Amen. I too have my fair amount of time with open, selectable, and spools. For me, the places I like to go (tight woods, granite rocks, etc), selectable makes my life easy and allows me to limit the strain on other components.

I will never forget the cul-de-sac I lived in. My friend with his spooled '57 Chevy found the only consistent way for him to be able to drive the radius of the cul-de-sac, was to smoke his tires so that he would get the car pointed in the other direction.

Best wishes.

 

Free bumps for your thread! Greater visibility and a better chance of selling. Take what you can get. Or if you don’t want that, hit the “report” button and a mod will clean the thread up.

 

Bump so I can buy chromoly shafts

 

I don't know if my cluster has a spot for the rear locker indicator but I thought about wiring up a permanent LED in there

 

would consider partial trade for newer macbook

 

TTT

 

Need the RAMz for keeping up with the lunchtable thread

 

my 2011 MBP isn't too happy when I code or do much more than browse TW

 

Dirt cheap insurance.
8300 ft lbs and 130 degrees if twist.

Don't forget the bearings and pockets. 79-84.

 

RAM and SSD. I'm daily-driving my 2012 MBP.

 

I'm maxed out on ram but a newer SSD could help.chrome and a couple of tabs will peg pretty high cpu usage and kick the fans on
