I checked on that other fella and he's not near as old as I was thinkin'. you've got him beat by a decade at least! I won't comment on your personal problem, (well, not a problem if you don't want sex.) but I will tell you I was born in Ft. Myers, FL In Dec 1956. That's right, 48 years on the face of the Earth! And I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Freedom Off Road Re: Locker in Front first?

[Re: AZPetrak] #589359 04/11/05 06:21 AM Anonymous Unregistered my 98 tj came witha d44 in the rear and 30 up front.. when i blew out the ring gear on my d44 i drove in 4 high for about a month so basiclly just on the d30 .. and it did apsolutly no harm waht so ever.. i also have dana 30 front and rear in my 83 s-10 and it has no problems with breaking what so ever so take that for what its worth Re: Locker in Front first? #589360 04/12/05 11:34 PM Joined: May 2001 Posts: 697 Chandler, AZ USA A AZPetrak OP Rock Warrior I have decided on 3 options that I am (1)either going to put a Aussie locker in front, and a cheap limited slip in the rear, (2) try to find a junk yard ford8.8 re-build it and put a Aussie in it or(3) buy an ARB for the front and leave the rear open. In either case I will be re-gearing to 4.10s at the same time, so it will be a couple of months before I can afford installation. 2007 4x4 Tacoma Dbl Cab with TDR and rear locker - stock for now 2001 Wrangler Sport - sold 1998 Rodeo S 4x4 - traded in Re: Locker in Front first? [Re: AZPetrak] #589361 04/12/05 11:46 PM Anonymous Unregistered If i were you, I would put a locker in the rear before the front. The rear do most of the pushing when going forward. Re: Locker in Front first? #589362 04/13/05 03:47 PM Anonymous Unregistered But the front does a dern fine job of pulling up and over obstacles...True full time front wheel drive would be really nice. I'm not sure which way I'd go if I had to do just one, but I think the front. Just my .02.

Since I have a 99 TJ with the D35 running 33" tires I am reluctant to aquire too much traction in any givin situation. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> Re: Locker in Front first? #589365 04/14/05 12:53 AM Anonymous Unregistered Quote I kinda like my selectable locker.

Sweet.. and I heard they're actuated by cornbread so you know it won't let you down. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> Re: Locker in Front first? #589366 04/19/05 03:50 PM Joined: May 2001 Posts: 697 Chandler, AZ USA A AZPetrak OP Rock Warrior This is why I am probably going to go with an ARB in front, and a limited slip in rear. With limited slip in rear a little e-brake trick can help. I am not sure it does much good without at least limited slip though. 2007 4x4 Tacoma Dbl Cab with TDR and rear locker - stock for now 2001 Wrangler Sport - sold 1998 Rodeo S 4x4 - traded in Page 5 of 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 Moderated by  4x4Wire  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts
