3Pooches version 3.5

It has a locker but not selectable, so if I keep it that will need to change. It’s geared 4:88 so it matches my setup. I don’t know how I’m going to get matching lug patterns front to back. Maybe I need to find a solid front axle…..

 

Wasn't that always the plan?? Or see if someone makes an adaptor? I vote for option one.

 

I’d really like to stay with IFS but I’d need to slide it all forward to fit 40’s. I’m just going to collect parts for now and see what I end up with.

 

I mean, if it gets to the point of nah, you could just build a buggy of your own.

 

Something is going to be on 40’s!

 

You are proving to be my sole cure for boredom...

 

Turns out it’s prefect too off weather. Lol

 

I’ve had a few boredom purchases over the past couple weeks. This is what happens when the days are short and it’s cold and rainy.

I’m jealous

 

This is the reason behind most of my purchases.

 

didnt even have to turn the heater on

 

Rub it in!

 

42s.

 

My rule is 65 deg, but that's because I'm old haha. Well, actually because I have Raynaud's Syndrome where my fingers get numb and turn white super easy. Not very fun (or safe) when you can't feel the shift and brake levers!

 

Tippy is good.

Tippy over is bad.

 

So after getting the rear axle I’ve been trying to figure out the next step to get the lug patterns to match front and back. I haven’t seen anyone do it or found info on doing it, but I imagine I can press an 8 lug hub into a bearing. I’m sure there will be a bit more modification needed. Also I was thinking I could start with something like this and alter it to fit. Thoughts?

You're talking about matching the front, I'm assuming? Completely off the top of my empty head: as long as the bearing dimensions match, should be fine? And be careful with parts from there. They're cheap for a reason. Not saying they're junk; whole front end of the Silverado is from there, but there are short cuts.

 

Yea I think I’m going to match the front to the rear. So do away with 6 lugs and convert the front to 8. I completely agree and understand on the parts.


On a different note, I just saw this and am in love

 

Element turbo is necessary.

 

I think it could be the solution for many of the worlds problems
