Deeezy's Locked Sport Grocery Getter Build

My dyna beads arrived also:

 

A muddy hill from a few months back:

 

Assembled front diff with 4.56 gears and ARB locker reached Hawaii in about a little over a week from the time I ordered. Pretty damn fast.

 

Added the 2nd solenoid to the air compressor for the front locker. I had to clock the compressor to fit under the brake line thingy.

I also wired in the front locker switch and tested everything so all I have to do today is swap the diffs.

 

Here's some pics that I took while I swapped diffs today.
Pulled the CV's out


Driveshaft unbolted:


Wire harness connector that needs to be unhooked and unbolted. There is also another bracket on the driver's side that needs to come off and also pull the vacuum lines from it.


Got the diff out, it's pretty damn heavy for one person. This pic is with the tube taken off to swap over to the new diff.


This stub shaft has to be swapped over to the new diff too.


And finally, I plumbed the second air line to the front locker. No leaks, and everything works like it should.

 

All you need is a supercharger and your build is complete

 

I wanna go opposite direction. 4cyl downgrade

 

Sounds like a clean install! Have heard of folks stripping stubborn bolts while trying to remove original front diff. Now to break in and hit the trail.

 

Yeah, some bolts were on tight. I just pray before I try every bolt. Nah, I use a torque wrench for everything and it helps that I just took all this crap apart several months ago for the initial 4.56 gear install. I had to tap some bolts out with a wrench and hammer though.
Break in for the front diff will be on the next trail ride. It's not as important as the break in for the rear diff because it's not what normally pushes the truck around every day. Last time I did like 4-5 offroading trips and then changed fluid.

 

That would be nice but money will be going toward normal spare parts and wear and tear items from now.

 

Looking good buddy

 

Thanks man! I can't wait to test it out!

 

Sent an oil sample off to get analyzed, just because. Looks good:

 

Probably my favorite trick on the forum. Just sad the TRD wheels are going, they really complete the trucks look for me.

 

Thanks man! I am keeping the wheels as a second set to throw on for our strict safety check inspections here. I still like them.

 

Tested my front locker today.

 

!!!

 

And my bumper dry humped that wall I tried to climb.

 

Keep it. Adds character

 

Yeah, I'm glad I opted for steel. I just cleaned it up and painted over it. Doesn't look too bad.
