    Already have 29 spline, so I'm good there

    Needing to replace the 5.29's in my front diff, and wondering who on here is a vendor to order from? I see a HUGE price difference between Yukon gears and Nitro gears online

    To my knowledge there are no OEM 5.29 gears for these

    My rig is almost exclusively for hunting here in Montana, basically an overgrown side by side for me, and the radio never even comes on. I will admit though that the tires are quite loud, at any speed over about 20mph. Whenever and however the...

    I only drove it once before I figured out the flange was gone, first time I hit a slightly slippery spot I had to engage the lockers to go, which is obviously not normal. I then did a walk around looking for a cause for needing to lock it and...

    Diff out, problem found. I knew when I pulled the plug it was bad, lots of metal chunks dropping into my drain catch

    I've been driving it with these axles for 7 years now, and never had a problem until the tractor incident. Also does not explain the new clunking sound. Something forced the passenger axle outwards hard enough to bust off the drive flange bolts...

    It's on the hoist axles out currently, so out comes the front diff!

    Long story short...I winched a friends tractor out of the ditch a little while back, in park with the diffs locked. It was a struggle but got the job done. A few weeks later I realized it had busted off the outer hub drive flange on the passenger...

    Time to change my Avatar! Haven't paid any attention to it, but realized Idaho Savage has owned it since 2017!! Anyhow this is my wifes 60 I just finished an LS swap into, and as you can see it has those same wheels, with a spacer and 285/75...

    What is the go to for a stereo and bracket for the factory slot? Original is gone, and the Pioneer in its place is not much and the bracket it was on is garbage

    Nice! I can tell you though if I had it to do over again I'd not do a 4l80 with the stock splitcase. Hard to get the T-case shifter bracketry worked out!

    Not specific to engine, but to the 60 series. Came from the Landcruiser Shop/Selkirk Offroad in Sandpoint I think. Edit- It's a 42 gallon!! Honestly looks good installed

    LS1 Aluminum 5.7 with forged rods and pistons, all new with a 4l80e trans. T-case rebuilt by Overland Cruisers (local to me). Extended range 36 gal. tank, new driveshafts from Tom Woods. Should be a hoot! Now it's carpet time, couple small spots...
