Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I thought the TG case was close to 2k alone? I’m confused now hahah crap

 

TG makes a bolt up case that's close to that. They make adapters that are about $700. Then you source your own top shift reduction box from a junkyard. I went the adapter route.

I had both front/rear diffs regeared and ARB lockers added by ECGS for not much more then that.

 

I paid 2.2k for my regear

 

Price went up since then. Before cores, I was at just over $4500. That’s for f&r arb lockers, yukon 5.29s, and the big arb compressor.

 

That just gears, no lockers?

 

97 4Runner.

Holy shit. I just checked and mine was 3826 before and 3251 after core return. That's F/R ARB and Nitro 5.29's. No compressor. Circa 2018.

 

Probably right in line then. Dual compressor was $495, got solid spacer, lube locker, few more misc small items.
$4518 before, and 4018 after core return.

 

True story. I do tend to break things

nvm....lol

2k? Thats it?? Ok. That aint bad at all!

 

Is that with install? Mine was right below 5k. I know i know, that was alot, but it was turn key. Dropped off and picked up a week later. Lockers wired and ready to rock

 

Yeah I didn’t tell him I paid a third of what he paid on his axles for my rig on one tons... mine needed a lot of work though. Still does.

He said he had almost $20k into all the accessories also.
He’s wheeling it though. Says he’s doing the rubicon in a few weeks.

I mean people with money like to spend it. There are some really well done rigs on this forum who are spending that kind of money.

 

Nope, parts only. Install done by me.
Same parts? Dual arb, nitro gears, f&r arbs?

 

I have the factory e locker and decided against the front locker

 

Fuck that bro. Unless covid made the prices spike? Lol.

Only thing different is i got a single ARB. Takes about 25 min to air up my 35s when down at 8psi. My buddy Karan always ends up helping me out on the last tire or two. He has the dual. I do wish i woulda got that bad boy

 

Wait. I re-read that. You saved about a grand. Good deal! I saw the first #s.

 

Anyone in the East Bay happen to detail? Got some good love marks along both sides. Don't need a deep detail, because my pockets ain't deep...just want it cleaned up and a bit of wax.

 

I ordered mine before Covid and installed them the first week of WFH order.

Dual is nice but it was a bitch to find a spot for. No room under the hood for it.
Takes about 2-1/2 to 3 minutes per tire from 12 to 34.

I'm happy I did the install, just because I haven't messed with gears/lockers before, but damn was it a long day. Took maybe 14 hours? Covered in diff fluid, did it at @Uphillshunter and didn't get home till like 4am, driving home with the break in period sucked, passed out in a dennys parking lot to the sound of restless crackheads on one of my cool down sessions at like 3am

 

Good times!

 

Lol. Thats nuts. See, i cant do all that shit myself and i feel bad asking folks for help.




But....the CB is a go. Im moving forward with it. Bwuuaa chikaaa bwuuaaa bwuuuaaaa

 

Now you fuckers cant say i wont! Lol

I really wanted some nice seats in the civic and truck. But fuck that. Lol
