Diff drops overrated.

Explain please. Cause it fixed my massive vibration. Or atleast made it better. My CV angle was stupid prior to the dif drop.

 

[Land Speeder]

OH... Torsion Bars. LOL.
I got the entire Ironman heavy lift that included the TB's. The shock droop has about 2" of down travel. LOL. And sits a solid inch higher in the rear.

 

[wngrog]

I think it is unnecessary most of the time.

If you are doing it to stop your 24 year old rubber CV boots from leaking, it's not going to happen. They gonna leak.

If you have vibrations and it fixed them then the diff drop was necessary.

 

[ntsaint]

Either way AndyO don't worry bout doing anything pre crawl. You will be fine.

Although, Slee Dif drops are in stock at 49Cruisers.

Sweet! Are Hoodies?!

 

[wngrog]

That said they are cheap and I run one on mine.

 

[BMThiker]

I've run hose clamps on CV boots before and it's a nonissue. I think anything that close to the center of rotation wouldn't be noticeable especially if you are running big ass tires. But for what it's worth install the larger one and smaller one "out of phase" from each other.

 

[wngrog]

Yeah it could be anything if it's that fine. These if wide tires will never be perfect. That's for sure.

 

[under_psi]

agree on diff drops being over rated.

i put 30K on mine before it was even pointed out that i didnt have.

 

[geologic]

Nolan your right about the wide tires, they fit the truck (if you remove the rack and pinion guards), they look just right, but they let you know they are there weight-wise, I wish I had gone thinner with my type driving but now that I have em I just can't take em off, Tolleson has offered to make it easy on me, If I can get this vibe out I'll be where I want to be!

For those with 100 Series with Nav...you might want to save this guy's info:

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/ptd/4896358067.html

He is in Cumming, GA

Didn't follow my own advice. Did anyone save this guy's info? Link is dead and CL searches in the big cities and Cumming don't help. Guy in the 100 Series forum has a dead Nav...trying to help him out.

@Bomar spa treatment is almost complete. New timing belt/water pump, repaired t-case shifter that now works and a front diff with new ARB o-rings, seal retainer, seals and a good bath. All that's left is to put it back in and extend the diff breather so it dosnt drink anymore water.

 

[Bomar]

Yes no more drinking of water. Thanks for taking great care of her.

@offr0adlim0 @wct49

49tire is a huge asset to us in the surrounding area.

 

[BMThiker]

@offr0adlim0 do you always work with your prolink tip on the table?

Any hints on the lift install on the 99 00? I downloaded the Slee intsructions. We have a lift kit inbound from @wct49 and Mudship. Ardenne's 100 has been in need of it badly. Guess I shouldn't have driven @wngrog rig at Big Bend.

Know a buddy with a shop with a lift. PITA on the ground

 

[wngrog]
