Duuude, you blown ya front diff AGAIN

So Maratoto was as good as I said eh

[gimmemud]

got a 4.5 for ifs here and a 4.5 for the other end if you wanna change ratios.

hey mate,i think ive got one in my back yard ae,im sure its 4.3,it completly slpped my mind the other day when i was over,it can be all yours for a small donation,ive just brought a double garage so any extra cash right now would be awsum as im completly broke ,and im also about to get anuther donour which should have a 4.3 if ya want that aswell,let me know

[mike]

have you got a front locker in there? if not it works wonders in slowing down the breakages. I break one every 2-3 years with a locker in there, instead of nearly every hard track

Maratoto wasn't to bad, the loop was awesome.Age old story, ill just drive this bit , then turn around
bring on the Zuk and then ill be back to to the loop with a vengeance.

I was amazed how well the surf went on the way out, ilding everywhere in first low,

got a 4.5 for ifs here and a 4.5 for the other end if you wanna change ratios.

want to stay 4.3 at the mo as it puts the gearing back to stock wit the 33's, cheers though.

hey mate,i think ive got one in my back yard ,im sure its 4.3,,it can be all yours for a small donation,also about to get another donor which should have a 4.3

yeah mate , definitely keen for both of them, let me know when your home and ill come pick the one you've got up.

ive put off putting a locker in the front for ages know. just cant bring myself to spend money on a POS diff when i should just be SAS ing it.
But seeing as i have mashed a diff just about every time ive been out recently , its starting to look cost effective.

How does your truck handle with the auto-locker in the front? I don't really like the idea of trying to turn whilst going down a hill and just going straight instead. Or having it kick in half way down a hill.

Hi Chris, Contact Lexlux, He has been wrecking a few 96' on surfs, Are they the same front diffs ?

[mike]

It drives awesome. Its with anything, if you know the limitations then you learn to get around them. I love my front locker and would never not have one now. Replacing the diff once in mine would have paid for my locker years ago. I didnt make that mistake twice. With a front locker I havn't needed to sas mine as i just crawl over everything and the locker makes up for lack of travel. Sure people will argue you need to sas but I havnt seen the need with the front locker and ive taken the surf some pretty cool places with very little to no damage.

hey mate , Lexlux was the one who pulled me out most of the way.
96 on front diff are different (3rd gen) pinon on the wrong side to start with.

Sounds like a plan then. its supposed to just be my touring , lite duty truck but i need to make it reliable. SAS is still the long turn plan , just because its so much cooler than IFS

I been lucky to date , only paid $70 a piece for the last 3 diffs . I reduced the front CV angle to help with the CV breakages and started doing diffs instead.

Any one know of a cheap IFS auto-locker up fro grabs?

pm skiddy

Is this your standard response Jerry to any one who needs a diff?
Ive seen you post the same thing in 3 threads in the last 2 days.

I'm sure Skid is sick to death of pm's about HIS spare parts collection
I normally prefer to wait for people to offer their spare parts instead of harassing them for them.

Rant over , just get sick to death of all the pointless bull*%$# that gets posted some times.

[UBZ]

Cheers Guys

Muddyhilux sorted me a diff this afternoon and possibly a spare to come

Talk about a quick turn around.

if i had it my way the 9inch would have been out a long time ago.

Once the zuk is on the road , i will be seriously looking at the SAS.
have all ready started collecting bits for it.
