if you don't like the welding just get a full spool or a mini...the you can take it out if you don't like it. they're cheap

To make it easy and to meet my deadlines of getting my parts in by next friday, with the help of Toyota Of Dallas I got on their set up stock order with Randy's R&P. They are going to go ahead and build two toy 8in drop in 3rds with 5.29s and lock-rites. Cheaper than Marlin by a little bit and no shipping since it is tagged on with their stock order. And I have two spare thirds that can be used as spares or sold to make up for some of the extra money used to buy drop-ins instead of having Baertrax do it.
Now for the lift kit... Hopefully someone calls me back at Marlin so I can place the order today. If not I am getting in touch with Terry at All-Pro.
I am going to run my skinny 34" swampers for a couple of months since the woman has clamped down on my nuts on my spending and I cant get any more than gears and lift....
what was the price difference btw full detroit and lock-rite? Seems that the main cost advantage in going lunchbox is that you don't have to set up the gears...but you were having them set up anyway? 5.29 cryoed?

The 5.29s are Yukons and I am not sure what all is done to em but I have never heard someone break-em (I am sure in this club someone has)
The difference in the Detroit was $200/third, so $400 total.
Yeah and because you and a few others mentioned that I did a ton of research on the lock-rite to make sure it would withstand and from what I looked at, and the fact that I will be keeping my tires in a decent size I do not believe my weak point will be the locker until after I replace the axles and birfs.
id prolly pony up the $400 now. it'll just end up costing you a lot more to buy them later, reset gears, possible broken time, they dont always work like they are supposed to, etc.
i agree, i'd just go ahead and put them in now. then you'll be done with it
I'm sure it's too late now but given that those dudes are probably $700/ea that is a pretty small corner to cut for such a huge difference in result
Yeah they are $700 each and they have already got them going.
If I were to bump up 400, I would rather just upgrade later to the ARB's. At this point I don't know how long I will keep the truck and since they are already in the process I will wheel them the way they are running probably a 35 or 36 skinny to make sure I am safe until I decide to sell the truck or upgrade.
Don't worry about it, I'm sure they'll keep you happy for a couple of years. I've never had any complaints about having a lock-rite in front (well, except turning radius but I am not paying for an ARB), you get to wheel right now and if you don't like them you can keep your eyes open for a deal on a hi-pinion with elocker or ARB setup, and sell yours
No ****, you're plopping down $3K on that thing in a matter of days!I am going to run my skinny 34" swampers for a couple of months since the woman has clamped down on my nuts on my spending and I cant get any more than gears and lift....
What's your plan for a cage?
Am i? sheesh... Well hopefully it is worth it
I will buy one of those dissasembled ones and weld it up. I don't really want to do an exo since I will be making this thing drive to some of my wheeling events. An exo would put a LOT of weight on that 22RE. I will buy it when I get around to fabbing up bumpers and sliders in about 6 months
