    Barnwell Mountain You might want to contact the Barnwell Mountain folks before going...My calendar tells me there is a Super Lift sponsored competition (or some such) going on at Gilmer that week end. If so, you would not be allowed to roam freely and wheel as you would normally. Just my 2...

    Lockers or a Winch - need some advice!!!

    Be patient with your decision. I favor the locker over the winch, but only because of my experience with open diffs. and being stuck. If you do not have something reasonable to pull to, a winch may not help. Lockers can make you feel practically unstoppable. Once again, be patient. I found...

    Steering difficulties - need help

    I think you are correct. We elected to put the old gearing in (4.10) because the driveshaft flange would not mate up to the drive shaft with the "newer" differential. Thanks.

    Steering difficulties - need help

    No, the steering wheel is not centered. I have also adjusted the alignment of the tires, since after the install the rear of the tires was measuring 30" apart, while the front of the tires was at 28". Now they are each at 29". This corrected some obvious street driving difficulties (it also...

    Steering difficulties - need help

    Yes, it always acts the same. Accelerate, it is difficult to turn one way, decelerate, it is difficult to turn the other way. We checked it this evening on a short incline with loose dirt. All four tires were spinning equally at this particular place. The real difficulty comes when...

    Steering difficulties - need help

    ???I need advice...Recently we swapped out the front differential from a 79' into our 75' FJ40. This was to gain disk brakes. While we were at it, we added a lock rite solid locker. Now, on the trail, under acceleration the rig wants to turn one way, and under deceleration, it wants to turn...
