Oizarod115 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 i can't seem to find any D30 spools, but I'm convinced they are out there. i could've sworn my brother told me about a moser D30 spool.. does anyone know where to find one? EDIT: i can't even seem to find a D44 spool on moser's website... and i KNOW theyve got one of those... (don't they?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Phone. Actually, phone randy's ring and pinion. I know they stock a couple. Full and mini. Ask who makes them if you care. Oh, there's the lincoln if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 they don't carry D30 spools... but interestingly, D44 spools are 170 (3.73-) 140 (3.92+) and minis are 70$ soo maybe thats what ill do in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnaevd Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 someone care to explainto me what a mini spool is? does it work similar to a locker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 its basically a lockright that doesnt move. it replaces the spider gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 they don't carry D30 spools... Thought they did. Well, hmm, I'd think one doesn't exist then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 yeah, sucks cause NOTHING compares to that price. and i don't need a selectable or ratcheting locker up front... thats what I'm buyin a posi-lock for... DOH! only thing cheap left is lincoln lock it and i don't know if a 30 is strong enough for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 There's only one way to find out... Weld it correctly (spiders to each other, spiders to housing, put a peice of pipe in between the splined spiders and weld it to them too) and oil bath it when it cools. I be you'll break everything else in that axle first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnaevd Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 how does the mini spool work/ what does it do? is it a limited slip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 full lock... its just installed like lunchbox lockers. it replaces the spidergears and locks the axles together. no moving parts. i might check out how much my local 4x shop wants to weld it up right. can you still do gear swaps and all that with them welded like you said?

DirtyComanche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 It locks both axle shafts together. Same as a full spool, but it slips inside the carrier and replaces the spiders like a lunchbox locker. No difference in wheel speed is aloud between tires. I have one in my front (well, a full spool) and you had better plan steering upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 can you still do gear swaps and all that with them welded like you said? With the D30, yes. Long as you don't need a carrier with a different off-set. 3.55 and higher is a different offset carrier than 3.73 and lower gears... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one in my front (well, a full spool) and you had better plan steering upgrades. you mean for the added stress of turnin locked tires? posi-lock. disconnect the right side for hard turns. (or am i mistaken?) i was considering JCR steering, or a similar setup in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Oh sorry, forgot you mentioned that. That will work. I'd still do steering upgrades seeing as how the stock stuff is total crap. I calculated that I can't actually build the JCR setup for the price they sell it. It's a good deal. I only worry that the tubing might be a little thin? However, it should hold up fine for 99% of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 yeah, they accidently offset my brothers bumper :oops: oops, and it sticks out 1 1/2 inch on one side, and sits flush on the other. (the under-lights part) so he had the option of sending the bumper back and having them fix/send a new one. or 1/2 price steering.... the week after he pretzeled some stock parts... the new steering has held up well. tubes arent thin at all i beleive he has the same tires as you... 35x12.50 BFG muds?

Oizarod115 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 so can you change gears in a welded diff, (done how you described) or do you need to pic the gears and then weld it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Yup. Mine are for sale! If I could ever convince anybody to buy them... 37" MT/Rs here I come. Now we get to see how strong an isuzu axle is... so can you change gears in a welded diff, (done how you described) or do you need to pic the gears and then weld it? Long as you don't start out with say 3.07s and then go to 4.10s. You'd need a new carrier then. So, you'd have to reweld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 guess i was the one not lookin. haha. so you can remove the carrier and all that at a later date, you just have to re-do it? sweet. might as well get it welded up as soon as i get the disconnect.
