i got the aussie locker and I love it, no problems w/ it at all. and the detroit in the rear is great but sometimes it is loud when it unlocks
Yeah my lockright is pretty loud too. I did a nasty burnout in the street the other day and when it hooked up it didn't sound too pretty.
hmm arent you trying to sell those tires?
Hey I drove the jeep around for a long time w/ the welded rear, and I would still have it if it hadn't of broken on me (don't weld a trashloc)
I also think that the welded handles alot better than the detroit. You can feel it if you get on or off the gas making a turn, If y ou let off the gas all of a sudden you will turn sharper.
****'s broke
So did the trac-loc actually brake or was it just the bearing caps?
it might have survived
looks like your bearing caps may have worked loose. Either that or you dropped the clutch
i say that the mini spool in before had something to do with it
I'd say you did a number on it. :flipoff2:
You think something could've caused it when you were swapping out the sppol for the trac lock?
got 35s now.
so im going to hit up the junkyards on jefferson. anybody seen one with older trucks? good yards? ones i should stay away from?
try the pick and pull, give me a call if u go
We always hit Pick-n-pull, Awesome on Jefferson for the $30 axles,(although they say they don't do that on full size truck anymore) and U-Pull-It on Jefferson. I'd hit Awesome first and see if a cheap axle could be procured and then swing by U-Pull-It for ****s and giggles and then head out to the highway for Pick-n-pull. There are a couple other on Jefferson, but they speak better english and usually know what they have, and don't like you cruising around the yard stealing every fuse, relay, emblem, etc. in sight.
If you pull a 9" or an 8.8 just say it came from an old Lincoln... They won't know the difference and if they do just rattle off some spanish and look mean and they'll back down.

Yah if you arent from south texas and dont know how to properly work mexicans into giving you good deals then taking one with you is an excelent idea.
:laughing: Doesn't that constitute as forced labor? :flipoff2:Quote:

Pics Damnit! :flipoff2:
he hasn't took pics yet because he is lazy, like the post #342 says
that and i am cameraless at the moment
ahhh booo find a camera
when i pulled the shafts out of the junkyard 9. on both sides the bearing races separated and are still in the tubes. are the bearings supposed to separate like that or are they shot?
in other news, i took the carrier of the grenaded 9 apart. it appears the lockright survived the carnage. so i guess thats a good sign to lockright owners in the club. it chewed up about 1/4" of the carrier and has hardly a scratch
races are supposed to stay put.
hmm, the ones on the axle under the truck come out with the shaft
hmm...Hell if I know. I thought they pressed in. Maybe it's just a close fit, and those hoes siezed. I'm sure someone else that isn't a dumbass will chime in soon.
If you need another nine there is a yard over here in Fort Worth off of Carson Street and 121 towards downtown. It's a sister yard to Awesome and has $30 axles and lots of trucks. I know there are a few 9", also lots of 14 bolts, 60 rears etc. It's called Dismantlers 2000 or something gay like that. It is actually on Elliot-Reader road which carson "T's" into.
i'll try to pry the races out of the housing. if they end up jacked, oh well they are spares. i'll just replace the bearings when i can do it cheap
i'll definitly check out that yard. thanks. if i could score one more 9 with 3.50s and possibly a 44 i'll be set for spares.
if you're pulling axles anywho, I could use a spare set of shafts from an 87 waggy front 44 :gigem:Quote:
