Well attempt two on the ARB install didn't go well.

To bring everyone up to speed, I had purchased a 4.77 third member with plns on putting an ARB up front.

First oddball thing that happened was the ring gear would not fit the locker. The locker carrier is just a hair bigger than the ring gear. So...I took the ring gear and had it machined to fit, and bolted it up.

Now this weekend me and Tad were going to do the setup on the gears. We ended up taking all the shims out and tried a dry install and the gears bound up as soon as you tighten the caps.

It looks like there is no way to fit the oddball early 98 third member with an ARB locker.

I'll be buying an older third member to solve this problem.
