so your saying that i can lock up my front with a aussie locker and drive it on the street with out any problems as long as it is in 2wd? if that is true then what happens when i put it into 4wd with the front aussie locker? i don't want to assume anything and get it wrong that is why i re asked sorry. Brandon

so from what ya'll are saying is having a "lunchbox" locker in the front axle is ok even if the truck is mostly used on the road as a DD? i don't know why some body would have told me differently then :dunno: Brandon

thanks for the link and such but i already have a supper nice sub but it would be HUGE for that box. its a 10" but really long. look on page 2 you will see the old box it was in but a "friend" @#$%ed it up for me with a sawzall :doh: so this weekend maybe me and my dad will give it a shot by cutting up anouther box i have to fit the sub back there. i would love to buy a box but no $ :( good sub box tho thanks for the link Brandon

I would like the cargo light an switch like so Image Not Found if any body has one plz let me know thanks Brandon

ok well to night my dash lights went out :fs1: any ideas? Brandon

ok maybe i have been miss informed but i thought if you locked up the front the turning would be cut in half and it is not a good idea to do that on a DD? Brandon

i won't know untill i go to pick up the axle in a few weeks. i will however ask the seller if it does have limited slip. Thanks for the clear up and now i know that for a DD i won't ever go with a detroit locker. thanks yall Brandon

:( Brandon

so when i go to do my 4x4 convert one thing i plan on doing is "locking up my rear" with either a aussie locker or a detroit locker. I will have a ford 8.8 and this will be on my DD. not sure what the difference is tho (other then the price) lol any thoughts would be nice thanks Brandon

why think you for the confidence but i really don't thank I'm ready to try that with out my dads help lol and think god i don't have to by a torque wrench my dad has all of his tools at home so i don't need any :D i don't get why my last post copyed its self tho :dunno: i think that i am going to change the rear main when i dot the 4x4 convert cuz most every thing will be out any ways :cheers: Brandon

Ok well i will try that today thank ya'll so much i took it to shop class and they just kinda looked at it hit it a few times and said yep its broke :doh: and i have to use my horn when all of the dam old people are coming down now and they drive like idiots :ack: thanks again Brandon

This is a quick update. My horn has quit on me and my key buzzer gos out every now and then. I really do think there is either a major electoral problem or a bad ground some where or a few bad grounds. And since i have been so very busy with my eagle i have needed it as a DD so have still not got shop class to put in a new rear main seal or replace the bad freeze plug. And my bday is saterday but i still don't know if i will get my $ that day or if i will have to wait even longer :/ well ill keep yall updated on what ever happens. Thanks for checking out my build tho :D Brandon

Very nice :cheers: what are the plans? I'm guessing a rear bumper? :rotf: can't wait to see this build go. btw just like pete says B4 you do any thing CHECK UNDER YOUR CARPET FOR RUST! The drivers side rusts first. Glad i was a help :D Brandon Edit: what are the specs on your truck also? Thanks

ok thanks thats a good idea. well today my buzzer worked then my horn did for a min then quit. now it has not worked all day. I use my horn alot so this rly sucks Brandon

Bump for ideas. Brandon

some kits come with "harder" coils for the drivers side. Its because this is where most of the weight in your truck is. The fuel tank is on the drivers side and that is where you sit. My dad said that he has had to do the alignment on some peoples cars while they were in it because they were so "big" or fat that when they sat into the car it made it lean. I'm not sure there is any thing you can do about this other then get beefer coil springs. Brandon

I think the auto zone sells one that fits. Brandon

I think auto zone ones fit. Brandon

no they were selling the tailgate. and yeah one small one i think he said Brandon

:rotf: as to answer the OP you need to find a jeep cherokee or comanche with the 2.5 I4 in it for the gauge to work. 87-90 year range because you have the renix 2.5 and any thing made after 90 had the HO. I think Brandon

Do you ever go to rancho? Not so much just a lot of dumb drunk @$$ rednecks lol I like lake land mud bog and drag strip and or richloam i love richloam Brandon

Wow very nice :clapping: I'm doing the same lift just though rough county not hellcreek. Ill be running 33's in the near future after the lift. I love the camo to! wish i had the balls to do a paint job like that lol great job :cheers: Brandon
