Wyoming B.S. Thread

I couldn’t remember if it was both and if they were air or not. I am planning a rear locker atm and was wondering if the fronts really worth it? I know it’s more risk for tearing shit up

 

Saw a deep maroon hellcat charger in town today. Looks real good in person! Any of you guys ever ride in one?

 

Ya I’m in the same
Boat as you as I really never planned having one in the front and that the rear is all I needed but I was thinking of someone who had two and wasn’t long travel and had advice on it.

 

Big thing it does is make the diff stronger. Even if you don't use it. If you are going to regear..might as well.

Its been handy for Mike when he isn't paying attention.lol

got him out of this situation.

Not overly needed though if you aren't planning on tires bigger than 33s and driving crazy.



Sold the wildernest today. Kinda sad. But glad to have it off the little truck.

 

I feel if you can afford the cost of the locker, its worth it. Installation is free when you are already regearing. That wont be true at a later point.

I would also say you are less likely to tear something up, not more likely. The diff itself is stronger because an ARB locker eliminates/replaces the spider gears in the diff. Also reduces the need to power out in some situations. Allows for a little finesse instead.

There have been a couple of times I was glad I had it. The photograph above is an example. Locking the front allowed me to pull up onto the ledge and out of the hole.

 

Ya I doubt I’ll regear and I’m not going bigger than 33s. Only future change would be the super charger but planning on getting the rear locker this year.

 

No regear but a locker?

 

I really don’t mind how it drives truly. 4low seems fine to me and making the highway rpms higher seems kinda pointless for me when I have no conplaints right Now

 

your an auto? If so. Agree. the 4.0 is fine with 33s and the auto.

My dad has 4.56s and now is on 295s. Makes it fun but not needed has he was on 305s before.

 

Nope manual. 255/80s armor is all light version and I run the tent and bed rack during the end of spring to fall

 

oh man. If you ever get into anything technical..you'll want different gears. The 6sp 1st gear is pretty tall and having 3.73s in the diffs isn't helping.

If you're just gonna run the dirt road, no worries.

 

4low seems pretty low but my exp is very little to yours.

 

Having been around several 2nd gen's with manuals and 33s. It it's abusive on the clutch in the rocks. Ask @SconnieHailer.

 

I really don’t plan on rock crawling that difficult of stuff

 

Then you'll be fine.

I find even in the not so rough stuff. It is awesome to have low gearing

 

Ya the other guy was the second link. Njs on here makes them

 

Only thing that matters is the bearing brand, the rest is negligible. Nachi, Timken, Koyo, FAG.... You want something quality

 

These guys use some high quality parts is what was explained to me. The eBay ones for cheap don’t last long lol

 

Nah they aren't specific

 

Ya not side specific. Just replace that one, Likely something got in somehow, my brothers grumbled and then wobbled over 3 weeks of driving to spokane from cda every day. Before he had me look at it. Other side should be fine.
