well im getting there,managed to swap some of the leaves out of a spare pack i had tonight and get it all back in so im looking better and better to make it to the drags

when having great articulation and not having a decent floor jack or super long axel stands is a pain in the arse

still got it done with out going underneath it :wink:

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 9:39 pm

Lemme guess

Step 1. Hit the internet and break out the credit card.
Step 2. Fit lockrights to both diffs
Step 3. Get frustrated when your 40 still doesn't go as well as a Zuk

Step 4. Buy a Suzuki...

lol.

You getting two, or just one to start with? Will make an awesome difference in your truck, especially if you do both.

Ben

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 7:13 am

i dont know about step 3 and 4 but yea doing both diffs :twisted:

,front finished and full of oil which isnt leaking so thats a good start.
will fit the rear when it turns up :wink:

was supposed to be in the same package but they dropped the ball on that one

but very appoligetic and its on the plane now

cant wait to try it out

will take some pictures of the rear while im doing it for the records i think

Just wondering, What the point of having a vehicle that doesn't get stuck?

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 10:34 am

then you get to help recover all the others that do get stuck :shock:

turoa · Post by **turoa** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 10:39 am

Just wondering, How much did the lockers cost and how much ground clearance do you get with the 36's, and no I'm not going to buy an fj40 just maybe the axles off one (well maybe i'd buy one if it had a v8 )

wjw · Post by **wjw** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 12:14 pm

have a look at http://www.rocky-road.com/lockright.html

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 1:27 pm

with the 36" simexes i have pretty good ground clearance, havent measured it

but its pretty good

. and as for how much the lockers were, follow that link wjw put up :wink:

i think it cost me all up about 1k for the 2 lockers air freighted and GST on top when it hit customs

not bad really and easy to fit,...front is a pain arse as the whole diff head has to come out which means the axles have to be pulled :evil:

grease everywhere :evil:

but all in all i think about 3hrs total for the front and when i do the back it will probably take about 1hr as only the cover has to come off really.... :wink:

Was meaning to ask you that actually... How much clearance do you have under your diff?

Time to pull out the tape measure

Ben

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 4:18 pm

with road wheels on it has 220mm clearance from the very bottom of the diff to ground.

will measure it again when the simexs are on(cant put them on in garage as not enough room :roll:

I would be keen to know this too, especially with my lego sized diff housings :lol:

wjw · Post by **wjw** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 5:45 pm

cost me $814 including freight and GST on arrival. Make sure you check the tracking on the DHL site, will tell you if they are held at customs...

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 4:46 pm

ready for the rear to be assembled with lock right.....when it turns up :roll:

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 5:12 pm

So whens the second one due in??
Should go very nicely afterwards. Where's the next run going to be?

And where's the clearance measurement we're all waiting for?

Ben

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 6:02 pm

locker for the rear is sitting in auckland at costoms.have to ring them tomorrow to make sure they dont try to sting me GST again as i hasve all ready paid it.

as for the measurement,well yea i forgot to pop the big wheels on when it was being hosed and out of the garage so you will have to wait till i have it all back in one piece now :roll:

....was too worried about the missuz seeing the horrible mess i was making

... im guessing it will be about 13 inches..or there abouts somewhere...at a guess :?:

next run is going to be the mud drags with any luck :twisted:

..maybe we plan a bush run in may(if something sooner then im keen), im pretty tied up with going on holliday with the family for a week early - mid april

& then going hunting for another week last week of april

...ohhh im soooo looking forward to it

Once the missus has had bubs and our club trial series is out of the way I will take a group through our little play area out south auckland. Be good as it should of moistened up quite a bit by May, and should be quite a test for all these vehicles that need lockers to go everywhere :roll:

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 8:35 pm

that sounds like a good idea

just say when man :wink:

anyone know?

Shane

DieselBoy · Post by **DieselBoy** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 7:19 am

Rear diff of a WD61 Terrano/Pathfinder/Navara and the front diff of a Y60 GQ Patrol/Safari, and i think, the rear diff of a MK/MQ Patrol (they fit the front of a GQ with minor mods, so i think they fit)

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 5:47 pm

well the rear locker is in and finished,full of oil

....

forgot to take a picture before i put the cover back on dammit :oops:

now all i have to do is..

>fix the back driveshaft
>mount and fit front diff brace
>test drive somewhere to see how cool the lockers are :twisted:

to be continued :wink:

SupraLux · Post by **SupraLux** » Mon Mar 06, 2006 7:36 pm

just be VERY careful when reversing out of obstacles with any steering lock on now... that is, if you like your CV's

Looking forward to how well it goes now

Steve

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 4:43 pm

ok,

had the tape measure on it with the 36's :shock:

no where near the 13" i thought it was :lol:

measurement from lowest point on the bottom of the diff to the ground is...

11.5" or 290mm which ever you prefer

and out of intrest i measured the width with the big wheels on as well

that comes out at 1850mm wide :shock:

so there ya go :wink:

the zook with 32"tyres probably has more clearance with the leggo diffs they have :wink:

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 8:31 pm

Damn, 290mm!!

Thats almost as much as my Suzuki...

Just trial fitted my 32 inch Simex's the other day and measured 300mm under my not quite standard diffs.

Cant wait to get out and dig some ruts for you to get stuck in

I'll just have to sneak into your garage and narrow your diffs 200mm so you actually fall into them. :lol:
