LOL, cute little truck! Bait casted - no bites here
I am probably done for the year, I have to order my new tranny/transfer from dave before I get into anything serious, I've been taking it easy on both because they are on the verge of collapse, lots of noise, rattling, bearings, pinion slop etc etc - so can't go too nuts with it. This spring will be good though, should have it all done by then.
Nikland, thanks very much, very kind words! I am glad you check my videos out - I will be producing some better videos in the near future. The 8 inch differential in my truck had a very hard life in the underground mines, it has about 2500 hours of use and always in 4x4 low gear - so it was worn out and I needed a new one. So instead of buying a new toyota differential I just bought an ARB locker and installed it with new bearings and ring and pinion gear. I have never broken it, next year it gets a real test - I suspect I will break the cv joint (birfield) first
Regards,
Louis
