Colorado B.S. Thread

Colorado is one of two states that allows for a "transaction broker/realtor", meaning one entity can serve as a 'neutral' realtor for both a buyer and seller. Advantage is that you look up houses yourself, call the listing agent and see if willing to work as a broker, tour the house yourself, arrange for inspections, etc, but at the end of the day there is only ~2-3% rather than traditional 4.5-5+% in realtor fees, which means you can drop the asking price and buyer will still walk away with the same amount in pocket, and that's before you even negotiate on price. Lower sales price can translate to lower taxes going forward.

 

What are your plans with that?

Yes, yoinking for le' taco'

I bought a VF1 tcase, I have a spare VF2, going to build a NWF ecobox for VF1 Passenger drop.

Then I'm gonna 3 link it front and rear.

 

Sell me the vf2

 

Plausible, make an offer my dude

 

I got 200 dollars and some fun commentary when you commit to cutting your truck up

 

Wasting my time regearing the rear end even though we all know what the true solution is.

 

IFS swap?

 

I know some people working on 8.75” fabricated housings for the 3g rear end…

 

Who? This is for the first gen. I do not want to be third gen width

 

Probably going to be built to 2g/3g width. Arcworx is the name of the company. A buddy of mine up in Montana

 

...

 

Still no issues with the 8.75"?

Those seem to be a serious step up from the old 8"s.

 

Does anyone live in the Wet Mountain Valley? If so, DM me please

 

@Wulf volunteers as tribute...

 

I have ties to the area...not living there though

 

Mmmm couldn't remember if you were yet or not my bad...

 

all good lol

in the meantime...its a nice place to visit

 

Yesterday I saw the first 8.75 failure that I have heard of. Only the locker failed. A customer of mine swapped an 8.75 into his sr5 and had me wire it up to a direct on/off switch. It seems that he inadvertently locked the diff at high speed. The teeth that engage the locker to the spider gears were rapidly removed. This could have happened from high speed use while already locked, but seems unlikely to me. Either way, he drives that truck 50+mph through the whoops, so I can’t say id imagine an 8” surviving it lol

 

I've also have not seen an 8.75 failure. I was always shocked I never killed mine on the third gen.
