AZ BS Thread 4²0

Blew my rear diff this afternoon. Wife starts work on the 6th so I need the truck running by then. Can anyone recommend a gear and axle shop in Tucson that can get a 4.88 ring and pinion installed? The diff has an ARB locker in it now, hopefully it survived, pulling the 3rd now to look at it.

 

If you like it I have a passenger side 270 I'd let go. Same OVS 270 extended length passenger side mount.

 

It's great when you can laugh at your Taco buddies on the trail as you plow through stuff. It's less fun when you have to turn around at Albuquerque on a cross-country trip because it's making fuck-you noises no dealership will actually deal with despite your master tech ass telling them in explicit detail how to replicate the problem that eats at you for months until you finally trade it in for a 4Runner.

 

Went to the shelter to "look" and didn't fall in love with anyone. Stopped at the bar on our way home and someone came in fostering her asking if anyone was looking for a pup. Flipped a coin when we got home and tails brought her tail home.

 

Nah I got one of them wives that doesn’t ask too many questions when you chop the truck in half. She’s a keeper.

 

Here's a couple I've used. Could also try desert rat, Simmons 4x4 ( https://www.simmonsautorepair.com/ ), I've used both of them for different things. Local companies as well. There's a place on kliendale that i can't remember the name of too. Good luck.

 

Hair of the dog. Meant to be is meant to be.

 

If anyone sees this bike for sale anywhere let me know. It's a good friends and was stolen today on the west side of tucson. Older GT Avalanche with lots of extras.

 

pinkbike.com might be a place the thief tries.

 

This absolutely beautiful AZ Sycamore is out near Patagonia. Keep an eye out for it!

To my AZ peeps. Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and Happy New Year. Miss all of you sexy bearded flannel assholes.

 

Merry Christmas to you and the family! Miss you too.

 

Miss you too Bill!

 

Merry holidays and stuff homie!

 

Recently got a set of 4.88 gears so this helps a lot! Might give DIYing it a go but incase I don’t will call around to these guys!

 

Any got any recommendations for an alignment shop on tucsons east side? Getting ready to install my lift and wanna get an alignment afterwards

 

I use firestone on pantano and speedway. They use to sell you the lifetime alignment but they won't do that with lifted trucks anymore. I've used TCR on speedway as well and they are more familiar with lifted applications.
