    detroit locker tear down?

    Hi John- I have taken about 6 of them apart to inspect them for the customer while in there doing a gear install and it only is about 20 or 30 pounds pressure. How did your dis-assembly go? Did you find that it was a minor PITA to get them back together....not so much from the pressure...

    Purpose of a stinger

    I could see where a poorly thought out stinger could cause a frontal roll-over.....but I also see where a well thought out one can serve its purposes well.

    Toyota IFS swap in pre 1985's

    silly me....when I first read the subject line, I thought somebody was setting a new standard and installing the whole IFS front end under an 85 truck. :) I just helped a buudy complete one of those basic cross-overs on his 85 Runner. I fabbed up the Y-arm for his passenger side also. On the...

    5:29 Gears for Toyotas

    I'm with Nate.....get some quality Yukon boxed gears....maybe from http://randysringandpinion.com or http://performanceoffroadcenter.com ......................and then have me install them ;) ......but only if you are in the USA. ZUK ps---529 or 571 gears last just fine with a pro-install. FYI

    who installs lockers?

    Welll, you could send it to me if you want a pro job done.....or you probably really can do it yourself if you do a couple very simple things.....the main one being mark with a scriber or something the position of each spanner ring for the carrier bearing pre-load. This is assuming you are...

    Adding acetone to your gas can help increase mileage.

    No mileage improvement for me after 2 tankfuls....it does run smoother at idle though. This is in my DD 1988 Runner 3.0 auto. I was kinda figuring the same thing as some of you guys that the vaporization is usually about as good as it can get with FI....and that most carbs will see a real...

    EJS Rumor or Fact?

    Rock bugs on the road......road bugs on the rocks....each is out of its "element". So I did something revolutionary and made my truck useable for both the road and trail. ;)

    Hysteer for sami to toy?

    If you have some extra factory steering linkage laying around the you could make up your own Y arm standard cross-over steering set-up for basically free....or buy the Y arm from ALLPRO for 199. Hi-steer tends to cost more cause in addition to getting BOTH arms you need to get the 2 linkage...

That's still a dam good deal for 30 footers. It's not as easy finding the 30's....seems to be alot of 20's out there......for more than 20...

    The reason a good cage is worth the $

    You turkeys. That was a cool roll. It's instinctive to put a hand or foot out when the ground is coming at you like that....some of you know what I mean....most haven't rolled. I mean roll not a flop. yep...his recovery technique needed a little work. I mean he needed to "back-off"....did ya...
