Colorado B.S. Thread

Ahhh for some reason I assumed new off the lot, that makes more sense. Sucks but glad that the price still worked out.

 

That reminds me of the time I drove 4 hours to look at a 4runner which had a tiny speck of metallic flake ATF showing on the end of the dipstick once

The dude said "they haven't ever said anything when I get the oil changed", which I would believe...if it looked like it had ever had the oil changed

 

The elocker diff doesn't fit the 8.4 non elocker housing

mfers who have an elocker axle want like $1000 for it with 250k mi on it lol.

 

I have a Detroit for the rear but was gonna put it off until I regear

 

They don't sell the 8.4 shims so I would have to buy an install kit or hope the backlash was in spec with the Detroit

 

Naw, I’m too young to have bought anything new yet, plus I like working on shit

land cruiser axle?

 

X3 million
Nothing like hearing a "ting" sound while half way compressed on a cheap HF spring compressor when a key part falls off



My friend and I do enjoy laughing about it from time to time...but only because we lived

 

Never too young, the 20% interest rate might make up for it though

 

It seems like that is just as much work as doing it the right way lmao

 

Actually, a minor install kit is cheap enough to justify just putting the Detroit in before bothering with a regear

Lol if I bought something new it would be one of the new Corolla hatchbacks, and I wouldn’t buy it unless I got under 5% ;p

 

Dooooo it

 

I financed a Yaris for 3.1 pct so you should be gucci

 

Eh, the corolla though

 

Yeah, the market is a little crazy. I saw a elocker rear for like $2000 this summer on CL and I'm pretty sure it sold because the ad was gone after a few days.



I'm not sure if Detroit changed their design but I have one in the rear of my (edit: different YJ) jeep and it doesn't load/unload with any weird characteristics.

 

corolla huh....is this you?

 

I've ran Detroit lockers in all my 4x4's, never had any issues with the rear end walking.
The front axle, on the other hand, didn't like to go where the wheels were pointed on snow and ice.
I think automatic transmissions have more of an issue with it, not being able to remove the engine torque when needed.

 

Could just be my lengthy wheeling experience and superior driving skills too.

 

you must have forgotten the backup safety straps
