Northern Virginia Roll Call

So i would be $750 into these shipped, with gaskets and hardware (and would also need an o2 simulator) so thats only like 25%.

Also 750 goes a long way towards 4.88's. which would feel like alot more than 8HP.

 

IMO not a good enough savings then to hop on it. If it were local then sure, but not for only a couple hundred bucks savings. And $750 is a front diff, after core return. That's half a regear! Also holy crap, 4.88s? Why that and not 4.56?

 

I thought we went through this Randy...the truck is for race purposes...

If i were to run a corolla i want to destroy it

 

Race purposes*



*up to 65mph

After that you're cresting 3k rpm in 6th gear haha

 

I’ll be there

 

I'm sure theres some sort of fast and furious meme i could throw in here but...

one of my life goals is to troll cars that are respectably quick... and i cant do that without 4.88's...plus i want to live that 37 life

 

That's likely the gear ratio I'll go as well, just because my truck isn't a daily, I drive slow, I'd like the overall lower gearing on the trails, and it leaves the option for larger tires later on. Gotta leave my options open.

 

You make me want this OVtune twin turbo kit. We could ride around and troll everything

 

i was actually looking on the ECGS website and was wondering how a posi unit would work out - easy to install and cheaper.

 

but that would mean you wouldn't be "Stock"

 

As far as a rear locker?

 

correct. I really don't want to make the old girl any less reliable than she is now and i like this noise too much

I have a mechanical locker in mine. One of the best bang for my buck mods as far as improvement off road. It takes a little getting used to on the road, but now I forget it's there. I'd recommend it.

 

in the front, right? Why dont both wheels spin than?

 

No silly, in the rear. I have open diff in the front. I will go ARB front whenever I regear.

 

but dont you have an offroad? You have no hood scoop...

 

I'm living that SR5 life

 

every time i heard about how much you like the locker i was thinking "what is this guy smoking"

 

hahaha no, the TRD OR e locker leaves some to be desired with engagement. That's what I love about the mechanical one. Never need to worry or think about engaging it, or let ego get in the way. I've noticed a lot of people will try an obstacle without a locker first, as if engaging it makes them a bad wheeler. Not an issue here.

 

Saw your replacement set up. Looks good.
