Let me know what parts are acting up. If I have it, it’s yours. For a beer of course.

My truck is actually at OTRAMM right now having this work done. All parts were purchased through them, which is what I would recommend if you are planning to outsource this job.
In addition to a Harrop rear locker, the team is installing the Nitro kit: 1991-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser without E-Locker Nitro Gear Package | Nitro Gear & Axle - https://nitro-gear.com/1991-1997-toyota-land-cruiser-without-e-locker-nitro-gear-package-gpfj80-xxx-1-1-1.html
Waiting on your thoughts once the Nitros are in. I had Yukons installed in '19 and they suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccckkkkkkkkkk.
I’ve been running nitro gears for several years and they work fine and don’t make a lot of noise. I can hear some noise when floating the throttle with now real accel or decel happening. I biggie. Last fall my frog R&P let loose no fault of Nitro but I’m gong back in with Sierra gears. Had them before in a couple other rigs. I tried to buy more from Nitro but they don’t answer the phone or reply to emails so……

Picked up my truck from @OTRAMM yesterday. Happy to have it back and the work is top notch as always, feels tighter, more put together and just all around a lot nicer to drive with the 4.88s in it. Ryan and team took care of a laundry list of other items as well that I am more than happy are out of the way. Super fortunate to have such an amazing shop within a couple hours distance.
With my second kid slated to be here in less than a month, might be some time before I get to try out the new locker, but I'll be sure to engage it while driving in circles in my backyard for no reason.

Did you resolve the issue you had with it pulling to the right? Was curious what it turned out to be.

I did this project three weeks ago, and it wasn't any fun. However, the ECU no longer has those "lean" codes and she pulls a little harder than before going over hills.
Be extra careful when disconnecting two transmission harness connectors on the driver side of the bellhousing. I wasn't very "kind" due to annoyance and frustrations which caused me to lose my speedo signal.

Lightning. Crazy having windows this fast now, I'm still not used to it. Wish I had done this sooner.
Appreciate the tip, probably will be a while though before it gets done. No issues right now just wanted it on hand.I did this project three weeks ago, and it wasn't any fun. However, the ECU no longer has those "lean" codes and she pulls a little harder than before going over hills.
