Monthly So Cal Off-Road Run

I look at it like you are in there anyway what’s another few hundred bucks to re gear.

 

Few hundred bucks? I'm thinking regear, locker, plus labor would be easy $1500 at least right? Maybe an ARB, harrop, or a lower cost Limited slip idk

 

Sounds like a good time

 

If your gonna open up your diff, put in gears and lockers...get em from ecgs and do the core swap yourself.

 

So what they sell the whole core with gears installed?

 

Probably won’t be able to make it have to go to a friends going away party

 

Pretty warm in the valley too. The place was relatively empty, so the risk of running into another rider/driver was fairly low.

Trah and I had a great time fooling around on the 4WD course and a multitude of trails. We hit, Jackrabbit, Mesa, Condor, Old Cottonwood and Sterling, plus many more un-named in the valley. I am editing the videos today and will post them ASAP. Here's a easy one to edit...

 

Gorman Noob Fest - July 13, 2019 - Trah and his very capable Tacoma.

 

thanks for getting these and putting them together! can't wait to watch them in a bit

 

anyone know how to d/l vids off of youtube so i can put them on my ig for my tens of followers...

 

Hes saying if you’re going to crack into the diff to add a locker then might as well spend the money on gears too. Only downfall to this is you’d then have to re-gear the front too.

 

Sounds like I missed out on an eventful trip.

How did your brake line get torn off?

 

I am sure there is a way to download these videos from YouTube, but I put them on my file server so you can download them in their non-YouTube format.

Let me know if it works for you.

 

During one the tows, the strap got wrapped around the front suspension, I'm not really sure how that happened though. I think Ryan got me unstuck, then I got traction, moved forward, faster than Ryan was, so the strap lost tension, and got pulled under my driver front tire, and around the suspension, breaking the hard brake line.

I think the 3rd I linked above is the correct one because you don't have an elocker but I would definitely verify that first.

 

That is exactly what happened.

 

Awesome thanks I'll start looking into it, going to be a little while until I do that. At least until I get some 33s later in the year

 

That sucks

 

yea, it does, but of all the things that could have broke, its a relatively cheap and easy repair.

So, on a related note, I'm going to replace the lines with upgraded hose, maybe steel braided. Does anyone have any recommendations for lines I could get? I'm also going to have to replace the hard line on that side, since that's where it actually broke.

I'd like to get all the parts ordered this week, so I can do the work the following weekend

Any recommendations or advice for this project would be greatly appreciated!
