This. Don’t matter if it’s dirty or clean as a whistle.

 

Except the 'one way' part is that it's supposed to close when dunked in water, and otherwise stay open to let air in/out.

Which for short splashes or dips is fine, but a creek or lake crossing might be an issue.

It's also a problem for guys who tow boats and dunk the hot rear axle in a boat ramp for a while. The breather does it's job, but the gaskets fail.

 

Not if you only drive through warm water.

 

That's was what I was referring to

 

I put my deposit down on a 4.7:1 Marlin earlier. The wait begins...

 

Can I call dibs on that in preparation for the next tear down and garage sale thread?

 

You have to wait at least four months.

You want the 37’s too? When Jimmy goes to 44’s?

 

You see that guys? Tire Spinner has dibs on the Crawl box.

 

Nah. Let’s see what he wants to sell his current tires for when he goes to 37’s though

 

The Toyota 9.5 has the same length as the 8 and the flange is a direct fit as well. Just an option to think about.

 

In to see how the wife paints it up, especially with christmas coming .

 

I might need this repainted by OCK for Christmas.

 

Oooh, glory hole skids.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Thank you for the info.

I’m pretty set on the 9” at this point after speaking with Currie and ECGS today.

I didn’t know this, but apparently, the tooth design of the 9” is just stronger due to its shape. Also, the pinion is very well supported.

Since I’m breaking teeth off of the ring gear, it just seems like the logical choice.

I was going to order the Currie housing today, but ECGS says they can make me one that bolts in and accepts the wheel speed sensors as well. Waiting to see what they come up with.

 

Interesting.

Have you started shopping for a front axle yet?

 

That’s true but the 9” pinion hangs way the fuck down there in the dirt. The stronger design moves the pinion lower on the housing (hope you don’t have driveline angle problems cause the 9” def. won’t help). Plus everything 9” is $$$$. I vote Toyota 9.5” too but I might be slightly biased

 

Also I can show you how to set up gears if you want. Paying someone to do that shit gets expensive real fast

 

Darn it Pat. I had my mind all made up too.

You too @Hawk373

I will take you up on that. I’d love to learn.
