DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Probably use it offroad on inclines where grip isn't an issue, but need the lower gearing without binding the steering/driveline. Thinking about downhill on switchbacks or even just tooling around BMRA at a slow speed. I figure this is easier than a twin stick conversion.

 

ice drifting

 

Snowshovelling > ice drifting. Tow strap to the truck, hooked to the handle on the shovel. Sit on the shovel. Try not to slide into solid objects.

 

Gotcha. Makes sense.

Which we do often. Can’t wait for the lakes to freeze this year.

 

I'm also going to start keeping an eye on Car-part.com for a rear axle assembly out of an offroad. A Harrop E-locker is going to be close to $2500 with install. $1000 for a complete used OR axle plus the ADD kit would accomplish the same goal.

 

Hell ya need to get my ice fishing gear ready

 

You may be able to find a dummy like me or @ETXTacoma

 

Zac got Ranger Steve's old axle. Not sure he's ready to trade that Dynatrac yet. I guess it depends on how bad he wants some Mustang parts.

 

Some also want it to have a low reverse gear with the manual transmission. When backing a trailer up an incline, but needing to negotiate a turn, a lower gear would be nice, but you don’t want 4WD engaged to avoid binding.

 

Anyone have a 10x10 ish canopy I can borrow for next weekend?

 

One in the back of my truck and some more at the shop.

 

When are you home again?

 

Nov. 1st

 

I’d have to grab it Wednesday at the latest. Might see if anyone else chimes in before making that trip

 

Wednesday ???

 

We’re headed out to Deer Lake Cabins early Friday (10/30) morning with a bunch of people. I have food prep all day Thursday

 

I have one you can use. I can meet you Tuesday next week. Shoot me a FB msg and we can work it out.

 

or both of you can come to the meet and hand it off there, hello

 

I am... sassy
