Just got to thinking the other night about the t-case breather. If the one piece is like my split case it has a press-in breather. This breather has to be removed and the hole needs to be tapped. On top of having to tap it the adapter needs to be a 90 degree elbow so it doesn't hit the body. Here is a picture of mine.

Why are yall running those superfly brass adaptors for the diffs? I just popped the caps off of the original vents and clamped some hose to them. They have been on there 10 years. Ran them up into the engine compartment and put a cheap gas filter on the end. Just a thought.

You and your Fancy Mississippi State education.... er.. um... hey wait that is what i have...

Ok, does anyone run a lock-right or aussie locker? I am thinking of getting a powertrac lock-right or an elocker... (i can;t remember the brand now but it looks very promising)

HIGHLY Reccomended

Aussie Locker.

Several guys in our club run Aussie lockers (Land Speeder, GulfShoresFJ60, bhmmapping) and they are pleased. You will get more bang, for your buck! I have had mine on for over a year now. Works great on road and off road.

To start get an Aussie on the rear. When you decide to lock the front, get an ARB.

Ive heard nothing but good things about the Aussie lockers, but I myself like to have a selectable locker as opposed t something that locks automatically, theres one on P-cola craigslist for $400 from an 80 series that could be modded to fit the 40 series

I have an Aussie in the rear of the 60 I drove over the other night, also have a Lockright in the rear of my 40. Either is a good, cheap functional locker. Aussie (or LR) would be easy to install, requires no special tools or setup and would be easy to uninstall if so desired. In normal driving you will not even notice it. Advantages of having it vastly outweigh the disadvantages of which there are few.

 

[BinaryDude]

Actually it says $600 for it.

I think i am gonna get an aussi for the rear for now. and will put a selectable in the front later on.

Up next though are wheels and tires...

 

[Bodean]

Not the chrome ones please!

 

[BinaryDude]

no, I was planning on getting the ATX chamber wheels w/ the teflon coating, but i have heard that they have been discontinued.

Plan B:

Plan C:

Also, almost ready for a winch.

Plan C ordered. They were out of stock on my Plan B rims. All 5 should be here in a few days.

Those are NICE!

This is going to be a sweet rig. That front bumper would be scary in a rear view.

Yep. Took me a bit of work to section the bumper back, and to remove the 2x4 chunk of steel in the way. i put the piece i cut out off to the side incase i ever want to go back "stock" lol

Those are NICE!

thx. 4WheelAuto is having a sale, so i got everything for a good deal, and the offer a great warranty on them.

Yes, I scarred a co-worker last week with it. I think the LND-CRSR plate makes it though.
