Looks good Jimmy. Can't believe with that yuptastic ride you didn't op for the rope....:
Meh for what the rope cost I was able to upgrade to the bigger winch and still save some dough. This pig needed the heaviest winch in the budget
we need a Ghey smiley..
This man sure loves an ARB bumper. I don't think he has ever had a rig that didn't have one..
I do like em no doubt haha
Front end started binding up lock it was locked and then finally BANG! Finally got it all apart last night and found the side gear has welded itself to the carrier. Never seen this before. It caused so much strain in there that the roll pin that retains the center pin was warped.
Roll pin:
So I had scooped a third from Harvard a while back and it ended up being a v6 third. An 80 front is a hybrid of an axle. Reverse rotation ring gear (high pinion), 4 cylinder spiders and carrier style with v6 carrier bearings. It will take a v6 carrier that is full case and runs the double center pin and 4 spiders.
Now the front diff should have he best of all worlds of yota.
Also solved another myth, a yota 8" is the same diameter as a "8.4". It's the carrier that's so much better not the ring gear.
