My setup...1986 FJ60, stock differential carrier front and back. Plan to install Yukon 4.88 Gears front and back, auusie locker in the front and powertrax locker in the back.
Problem...
It appears that the Yukon gear (ring gear) is thicker than stock...thus the teeth on the ring gear apparenlty interfer with installing the crosspin (for the c-clips).
Is there a known solution to this...I know many people have run 4.88 gears and lower...
I bought the gears from Marlin and have emailed them and waiting to hear back (which hopefully will happen tomorrow).
What proven solutions are there? Different carrer housing? modify the ring gear (seems to be just wrong)? Mill a small flat spot on the crosspin to allow for install, is there a custom crosspin required? Don't know, but would a different third member solve this? Is this an issue with Yukon gears ...4.88?
Looking for ideas or proven solutions...see two pics. My friend is helping me, so just and FYI I'm not super knowledgable in this area.
Any help / advice would be appreciated.
