(I posted this on LCML.... a lot of you don't go there, so I'm posting here also. It seems most folks on Pirate are also on here.)
In case you are installing an ARB locker and find something strange going on........
My first locker was put in the rear diff about a year ago. No problems...
The front locker is ordered and I'm sitting on my thumbs waiting for it and the bearings and knuckle kits, etc., to arrive. Everything's been cleaned and painted.
My air plumbing system is a little out of the ordinary..... kinda' like me. 'Haven't seen anyone else doing it quite this...
Thought I'd pass this along FWIW:
I'm doing front knuckles and front air locker.
This idea occurred to me when I was doing the rear axle stuff.
I'm single and have no one near that would notice that I didn't come in for supper if the '40 was to fall on me. I do have 4ea. 6 ton jack...
My '79 FJ-40 has been missing the clutch fork boot since I got it. I was considering ordering one..... they're relatively inexpensive. But, doing a search, I read a fairly recent post (One of the three major LC boards.. don't remember which) where someone mentioned to NOT put one on...
'Found one of these at the local Heep place yesterday. At $10.95, I snapped it up. They only had one.... guy said they are very hard to obtain right now as Daystar production is backed up. New enough that it isn't even on the Daystar website.

OK you high-powered financial gurus.
I just made the next-to-the-last $350 payment on my used soccermom mall DD vehicle.
Final payoff in 30 days.
Does that meant that I should.....
(A) put $350/mo into an interest bearing account for the puchase of the next DD ?
(B) put a portion of the...
OK... called Warn and talked to customer service.
Duh...... Warn doesn't have an answer. How 'bout you folks ?
Fabbed a nice mount for my brand new 8274-50 and mounted it on my CCOT HFS bumper. Ordered 3/8" (Amsteel Blue) synth rope from Rockstomper. Rope came with the terminal (for a...
Trying to fab up my mounting plate for the yet-to-be-purchased 8274.
I feel the need...... the need to dull up some drill bits.
Can anyone give me the len/diam of the 4 bolts. ':Doesn't seem to be on Warn's site..... they just mention a p/n 7165 and p/n's for lockwashers and nuts.
I...
'Was just doing a search on Hawse style fairleads for synth rope.
'Studying pro's and con's... (everyones is better than everyone elses)
It hadn't occurred to me to use UHMW. I have a friend with a Bridgeport and a fair sized stack of the stuff. I've got a good router. Shouldn't be hard...
Some time back, when they first introduced the HFS bumper, I purchase one and was pleased with it's design and construction. At the time, I was considering a 6K or 8K horizontal Warn winch. I've now decided to go with concensus (and possibly debtor's prison) and spring for the 8274/Synthetic...
