New Mexico Owners BS Thread

Tom, you should come by when I let Silas know when it's time to regear. Silas, I'll provide food and drinks for the install.

 

The first one you got listed is the locker itself. That is what would be inserted into your stock carrier. The 2nd one listed is a built up 3rd member which would be a brand new carrier w/ ring and pinion and the locker added as an option.

On the Lockrite, the locker is always engaged. It isn't until you get into a turn that the endcaps would be given enough play to let the teeth slip, allowing the wheels to turn at different rates.

 

So it's only engaged on a turn... How would that help when trying to wheel a bit?

 

Default mode is engaged. It DISengages on a turn.

Lockrite powers activate! Form of "a cup of coffee."

 

Ohhhh okay bad ass. Shape of.... Donut!

 

I'll let you know on a lockright. Mine should be coming UPS here in a bit FYI my truck is a weekend wheeler/DD (when the wife isn't here with the other car.)

 

I'm skeered I might start wanting a solid axle up front. But, shit yeah, I'll be there.

 

Yeah, Kyle. You may want to ask around to see if you can test drive a vehicle with it.

 

Better watch out you might get the solid axle bug.

 

Do you think the drive will change?

 

sounds like a plan.. get an opinion... mine is a daily driver as well

Any treasure hunters in here??
Just heard about this today, Forrest Fenn, an 82 year old New Mexico millionaire buried a chest full of gold coins and other gems worth millions and then told the public to go search for it. Sounds like fun, right?
Wonder if it's true. He's saying that americans spend too much time watching their TV's and rarely go out nowadays. He published clues as to where it is. I read somewhere that he has a weird kind of map too. Although I haven't seen that yet. His website crashed so he gave the clues to MSNBC.

As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.

Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.

From there it’s no place for the meek,
The end is drawing ever nigh;
There’ll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.

If you’ve been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.

So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answers I already know
I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak

So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.

Happy hunting!

 

screw that! long travel 4x4 FTW!!!!! that way you can haul ass in the desert but still be able to crawl with the babies (because everyone knows crawling is for babies )

 

baby steps

 

ghey...

 

Psh.... WHAT EVER!! haha..... I can't wait to get my rear locked

 

im at 6,625..... and yea it is cool to be popular

 

yeah sure.... WHAT EVER!

 

hell yea! donuts in the dirt are really fun with a rear locker in 2wd

 

Kyle, this. It is highly advised to test drive something with a detroit locker or lockrite. It is hard to describe because it is a unique setup. It'll handle differently on pavement and there'll be a weird feeling going into turns when it transitions to "open" and starts ratcheting. Dirt will be funner because you'll be able to rooster tail on both wheels.
