    I wish dude, the mods are few and far between because I’m young and saving to move out. I also don’t really know how to do a build thread either.

    Thank you. I'm almost ready to put the front back together, then I have to wire up the front e-locker, then I have to cut a hole in the dash for the switch, then break in the new gears, THEN I'll be ready to go on another adventure.

    Are those wheels 16 x 7? I am thinking about running them on a 16 x 8, but do not wanna overstretched them. Your set up is going to look great on your truck .

    Mod marathon 2019 continues. Why the phuck did I start this during the hottest part of the year?

    Diffs are regeared to 4:88's with front and rear Harrops and Whitey is finally back together! I couldn't have done it without iced coffee, cold beer, and most importantly, @Jiveydude and his extreme generosity with his time and tools.

    Rear locker just opened a whole new world of capability for you. Front locker on top just opened a whole new universe. Now go wheel!

    If that’s the case then a crawlbox opens a 4th dimension. I saw that video you posted, that was rad as phuck!

    I’ve been stuck twice on open diffs, both times in a sandy gully. The first time I was alone, hadn’t told anyone where I was and had no cell reception. Frankly, it was terrifying. The only smart thing I’d done was keep a collapsible army surplus shovel in the truck, which saved the day. The other time I was with other vehicles so it wasn’t dangerous, just annoying.

    Now I’m psychologically traumatized from open diffs. Even my other truck which will rarely leave pavement has a factory rear locker. Like you said, it’s a whole new world of capability.

    You’ll love it. Don’t worry about the front locker. You’ll feel it binding bad long before a cv goes bang. Stay away from full lock left/right with it engaged.

    She does indeed look good. And a trip out for testing seems in order. When do we go?

    I wanna use my MTS and Crawl.

    If you're pedantic like me and want shit to look and function right:

    33-tooth speed sensor gear for an accurate speedometer with 4:88 gears and 33" tires.
