New in greeley

[bloodyscrow]

hey everyone im new to this board, been posting on colorado4x4.org for a month or two figured ild start here too. ive got a 1986 extra cab with 2.5" to 3" lift springs in rear and ball joint spacers on front (not to happy with them), the truck came this way with 31-10.50-15s and had a locker in the rear, but that blew on me on I-25, i replaced it with open 4.10s, also put on 33-12.50-15s, a new clutch and a couple replacement front end parts other than that its pretty much a pos but hey im down for wheeling with people on the weekends as long as its not too far of a drive

[RedRunnertc]

Welcome! Where are you at, what's "not too far"?

4.10's + 33's?

[mrdoug]

Welcome.. another one in the north!.. that tug o' war with the south is starting to take shape. The "plan a trail run" section is pretty active and we have a calendar posting that's kept up to date (thanks to FJCruzer). Look forward to seeing you on the trail.

Troy, he said 4.10 with 33's.

[poorboyota26]

ANOTHER 2nd GEN WOOO HOOOO!!!!

I've got a 87 reg cab and a 86 4Runner. Like Redrunnertc said "33's with 4.10's". You better think about getting a third member from like Anderson's for cheap and then put some 4.88's in it and while you've got it apart put a locker in there. Otherwise you are going to break a diff or axle first obstacle you go on. How long have you owned the truck.

I'm grew up in Greeley. Live in Littleton now though. There are some trails about 2 hours from you but I'd think about those gears b4 going


Welcome!!!!
Great little group here you will love it.

[hurley842002]

Welcome, great group here. I'm new myself. You really should consider attending the next HOW event, it was alot of fun even just standing around drinking beer.

[fjcruzer]

Howdy!


Um.... yep... that's all I got right now...

Welcome!

[mgoose82]

mornin!

and

welcome

[bloodyscrow]

well yeah i know i need new gears, plus i hate having the speed cap at 75mph going down hill with the wind at my back, i was thinking 4.88 if i got locker what should i go? kinda on the cheap right now, i was thinking maybe spool, not too concerned about killing tires, i can always get more but yeah how much would a good set of 4.88 gears cost me, and to install?? oh and too far would constitute anything further than boulder really this is my dd, i have a back up car but i dont like getting to far from home base here in greeley haha

[RedRunnertc]

Gears are a couple hundred and you can estimate $300 for install, plus maybe another $100 for parts/miscellaneous.

Lunchbox locker (replaces the spider gear assembly inside the stock carrier) like a Aussie will be a couple hundred and you can install yourself. If you have the person install it with your gears, I would expect a small charge.

Full locker (completely replaces the stock carrier) like a Detroit or ARB will be $400 - 700, but install is exactly the same as the gears, so shouldn't cost any extra there.

[poorboyota26]

I lived right next to that school in Highland Hills. Just a few blocks south of the nursery. We used to go 4 wheeling where they built the Lowes. There used to be a field there and we would haul ass acrossed it and then get to this swampy area with lots of sand and hills, really hokey now that I think of it.

[bloodyscrow]
