Well that's not too bad. Decent execution. Glad I'm not the only one that wants them back. I'll pay BFG to make them though, when that billion dollars comes my way.

Yep. DEFINITELY would rather have ones made by BFG over "contrived replacements"
 
I am pulling the Aussie Locker out of my 60 and adding an Auburn limited slip set up by the best of the best @RustyNailJustin

Got it out and stiffed yesterday and had to quit to go to work for a few days so I can’t test it out yet. I’m looking forward to seeing how it works.

This job gets a little bit harder the older I get

I am so over my lunchbox lockers F/R too. Can't wait to get the rear swapped out.

I literally hate it so bad. My truck is a bit soft in the suspension and all that garbage is felt in almost all situations.

I’d rather be open and pull cable.

Well I don't know if I'd go THAT far :eek:
 
I got to finish up the Auburn LSD install and take it for a drive today.

Road manners. 100% perfect now.

Off road.

I have a real steep V ditch in front of my farm where I test flex on my trucks. It will hand corner tires in the air and if the truck is open you are 100% stuck.

I’ll get video later but I watched my driver rear through the window......Truck stopped forward progress and the tire did a full 360 then locked up and pulled me through

Very cool. I’ll get video later when I have a helper.

Also I tossed the RTT on the FrontRunner. Gonna do some camping soon

Must be nice to have a tractor to get that off, I use luck and strength.

That a Medium or Small (looks like a Medium)?

It’s a small.

I’ve actually never done it that way. My dad was driving by as I was taking it off my trailer and I was like.....hey!
 
I use to have a large Adventure model and ya, it took like 3 of us. Now I have a small Extreme and looking at how your small Columbus fits the 60 (I have not mounted it there yet) I am glad I do. I will still need help lifting it up.....tractor with forks is brilliant!

Got mine. Knew right away who's 60 that was. You are a celebrity sir. Kinda like when an SNL host does 5 shows. I'm thinking you might have 5 covers coming your way.

Love it. Wish I could get stuff done and get out and about like you do. And I know you earn it all!

Thanks man. It’s an honor.
 
Excellent news.

I finally got out on a good long overland with Ole Blue since we bumped the timing from 0 to 11 degrees.

Mileage jumped from 11-12 to 14.5 average over 450 miles.

So happy. Last piece of the puzzle to fall to make the AFI the best mod to date.

Also tested the Auburn LSD from @RustyNailJustin and it was superb. Excellent upgrade. Man. Now I want 2 more for my 55 and 40....
