Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I show up and so does the offense.

 

I did a locker on stock gears first. Then regeared about a year later (never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed). Doing the labor myself I'm only out $300 from doing it again.

If I were to start over, I'd do it at the same time. And add a front locker . If anyone does a 4.88 regear and doesn't want a front locker, let's talk mmmkay?

 

Despite everyone's advice, I did not lock the front with the regear. I have ATRAC which is basically as good

And I have an uninstalled ARB dual compressor that comes with the locker wiring harness. Also a blank space on my @Iggy switch panel. In a nutshell, don't listen to me.

 

1- Who's the cat in the black pants?

2- I'm outta beer! More please!

3- This shit's fucking hot!

How'd I do?

 

So it sounds like the truck is staying? I hope....

 

Or just go to your local shop. There a few good ones around.

 

Yeah I think on our manual trans the speed sensor is at the transmission whereas on the automatic it's at the wheels

 

Forgot to add @Holloman to the list. He's on 35's with 4.56's. Also 6-speed.

@CrashN'Burn Ask those guys what they think. I only have 40 miles on mine.

 

i saw that a couple months ago... Sac car museum?

 

Manual, stock gears and 32s, life is easy.

 

ATRAC's unite!

 

Anyone know or can measure the distance between the 2nd gen bed rails? Inside to inside.

 

On my 85 I did 5.29's and open front and a rear Detroit locker first.

I did the gears myself and I am not a patient person... bleh.

So then I wanted a front locker. I bought an inchworm high pinion arb air locker setup for about 2k...

Super stoked on inchworm.

I sold my open front diff 5.29s for a couple hundred bucks.

If you are a patient perfectionist and are willing to buy the tools it's not so bad to do your own gears.

I was not one of those people

Although now with another car to drive, I wonder if it wouldn't be so stressful and and stress free thing to do.

Might even be fun.

 

I also did 5:1 tcase gears right around the same time...

I'm running 4.56 with the auto and 285's. I think it's a good balance for daily driving and get that low end 4l grunt.

 

May I fuck your truck slowly up the salad shooter, good sir?

 

I think my dick just got salmonella.
