Orange County CAF's: up to no good

So much yes!

 

Haha I just put together a few words that sounded like I knew what I was talking about that's hilarious

 

Back you , currently ponying up for something better. Buy once cry once you know

 

That will be the day

 

Been keeping myself busy on the corners these days

that's hilarious

 

Think it's just locker actuator.. no solenoid

 

All this talking on it makes me want the e locker more... Would definitely open up more options off road

 

Not really 4wd would open up more options locker helps in the 2wd trails but not really

 

Pretty easy swap. Bleeding the brakes is the messy part. Forget about wiring it up. Make it a manual locker. Chilkat designs makes a kit to convert it to a manual push pull cable. No wires or electronics to fail.

 

The swap is do-able for sure

 

I think 2wd can go just as far as 2wd locked

 

I've seen a few aired down locked 2wds do some pretty cool stuff

 

Also a good set of off-road tires. I think @ODNAREM mentioned nick doesnt have off-road tires?

Anyway, @Nicklovin , buy the locker and we'll get you setup. All of us are down to help. You're probably better off going with a locker and legit lift than what its going to cost you to have a sex change from 2wd to 4.

 

Sounds like you have an issue with focus/output. Compensating by flashing them so you can see a "difference" isn't really a good way to solve that in my opinion.

 

What's up John!!! How have you been bro?

Nick, the best way is to simply just DO IT!!! Buy the "Haynes Manual" from Autozone, Pepboys, O'Reilly's, etc and just start reading the rotation of the tires section and/or spark plugs. EVEN IF you don't understand it at first, just READ it and then when you come to the brewery meets and such, you can ask questions. I mean, I started with my brakes first, LOL. I told my mom if I don't come back home within a few minutes, just follow the sirens, LOL!!! I started working on my own vehicle because my dad was paying for maintenance and was getting ripped when I found out!!! He could have easily done it himself, but at the time, I was pretty "prissy" about shi* and when I found out how much he was paying for "ME", I just couldn't let that shi* happen to my parents bro!!! So, I manned up in that sense and just F'N went to town to learn on my own. I even took an automotive class in high school and it was a F'N joke as they were using us as, more or less, cheap labor. They were getting rid of the dept!!! So, it made me learn that much more on my own.

Danny is right, just ASK BRO!!! You know I just live down the street from you, come over here and learn some things if you want? I'll show you one side of the truck like I did at the brewery, but now, without any distractions going on and it will be day light. This is up to you of course???!!! AND, NO F'N PHONE even though you say you're listening, that shi* won't fly in a true automotive lab environment because it is not only rude, but straight F'N dangerous!!! Just being real here bro!!! If you want to truly learn then you need to do just that!!! I know a few people back in the day that would have taken that phone out of your hand and thrown that shi*. If they're taking the time to teach you, you need to pay back that same respect bro!!! Just say'n.

 

Yep, I'm a crazy motherf*cker.... .

Pshhh I drive like a madman now, a locker would be clutch in a few spots for me. Gotten stuck a few times because of 1 wheel spin where I just couldn't get through fast enough where as a locker would be perfect

I have off road tires, bfg all terrains. He probably mentioned my fronts are getting pretty close to replacement time.
Pretty much the idea there, especially for the way I like to wheel. Locker & currently ponying up for some good fox shocks in the future

Ah dude that'd be legit, definitely appreciate yours & everyone else's help. .... I just gotta learn to ask more

 

Just make sure when you ask you're basically ready to go. The roast can be strong

 

Fixed CEL. Already out of that whole

 

Posted my last comment & I the page loaded to the wall of randy . Hahahaha hey man I was talking notes on my phone, would've done it on a note pad if I had it. I can forget things pretty quick hence my need of note taking . Appreciate it though Randy

 

In this day and age there's no excuse for not knowing how to do basic wrenching or upgrades on your vehicles. Most things do not require tight tolerances that would leave you stranded or injured if not done perfectly, and the internet is literally at your fingertips.

Look, TW is a great resource and full of great people, but I highly recommend you do some research at pirate4x4. Everything you can think of has been done there, and it's not full of the idiotic things that you find first time off-roaders asking about in the 3rd gen forum.
