Any Members in Arkansas?

Agree with this. It was nice to see you Pete but would liked to have met some others and seen some others I've met before.

 

I musta been walking around with blinders on. I didn't see Lee or Harrison, and only bumped into Matt after it was over.

 

We got there late and parked kinda in the back by Pete.

 

I'll let you know. You already helped me with this one with ShotShot.

Parts and pieces for a DIY CornHole set for the kidz…Razorback themed of course painting is gonna be the hard part

 

Seriously considering an Eaton Trutrac for my Tacoma. Any local trustworthy shops that you guys have had good luck with? I could almost do it myself, but I don't trust me setting the backlash properly. Not something you want to mess up.

 

I looked really hard at those and talked with Mud Connection about them. They seemed fairly knowledgeable. Still haven't ruled a Trutrac out and read multiple people online saying that they compliment A-TRAC very well.

 

Ive read quite a bit on them, and only negative is it inhibits intentional power sliding in snow, which I obvi do a lot of, but biggest thing is having a wheel off ground requires tricky braking to get it to engage. Most of the time I need a locker is when I get buried in scree high in mountains or have a tire off ground, it seems. All other reviews and comments have been stellar on performance. Locker without the locking.

Edit: Another option is upgrading the entire axle from an OR or a Pro, but none of the yards around here ever have them. Hawks literally line up waiting on the salvage drops to strip and sell on ebay.

 

That's why I've read A-TRAC compliments them so well. It does the tricky braking for you. Not sure what vehicle you're considering putting it on or whether it has A-TRAC though.

 

Mine is an SR5, and the auto lsd disengages in lo 4. No A-TRAC, sadly. Very capable system, but I've learned my pulling trailer in rough terrain requires a locker sometimes.

 

Indeed. I'd skip the axle swap option though and just have a locker (and gears) installed in yours.

 

Prolly not gonna regear, and it wont be a true locker, but will definitely help in slippery spots.

 

I put an ARB air locker in my rear and have been pleased with it offroad. IF you were going to regear, that'd be the time to do it so you dont pay twice for damn near the same job.

 

I'm alive, currently about an hour north of Yakima enjoying the breeze at 6k feet. The trip is going awesome. I think we might hit BC as early as Thursday at the pace we've been running. Washington is pretty awesome though.

 

Cool! Are you planning to hit Olympic National Park? That's a place I've always wanted to see.

 

No, we're basically following the Cascades up to BC.

 

This route is a little spicier than described lol.

 

You got us all jealous. Looks awesome.
