Locker, Gears or Bumper????

Inc · **Posted:** Mon Sep 15, 2008 11:09 am

Well, I just got off the phone with Tellico4x4.com and they won't have the DTT in for 30-60 days. :evil:

It is around $380 shipped there. I guess I'll be waiting for the front locker, gears and I may even wait to see what happens with the Aussie in 4 weeks. There goes Deer Valley for this year.

Jegs - $388.98 to my door. ships in 12 - 19 days.

$388.98 to my door as well and the email conf. says it will ship in 1-8 days.

Thanks Jeremy.

Talked to Rocky Road about the Powertrax and they said they are out and that they would have to drop ship it from Powertrax back East and it would take 3-4 weeks. With Rocky Roads questionable customer service I passed on ordering it from them and went looking for it somewhere else. Checked at 4wd.com and they said they are out of them until the end of October. They even said that they sold so few of them that they may not make them any more????? I have gone through 5 pages of pn 92-0382-2905 on google and either they don't have it in stock or they want like $470 for it. Checked 4wheelparts and they have it online and they have 10% off until tomorrow. The total shipped to my door was $436.85. It was cheaper but they stuck me with sales tax. So in the end it was more than RRO but it will be here before the weekend.

So front and rear lockers for $825.83. Not too shabby I think. Cheaper than one ARB would have run me.

Bummer news though. We got the bill for our babies coming the end of the year. Say bye bye to gears. Little buggers aren't even here yet and they are draining the jeep funds.

Life goes on.

Is this the the p/n on the DTT you installed on your KJ?

I used whatever Troy said he used lol

Hey Mike where was the cheapest you found D30a gears? or did you only check at Rieder Racing?

I only checked at Reider Racing for gears. I haven't seen them anywhere for cheaper other than ebay. I'm not too crazy about ebay vehicle related purchases. Been burned before. I may still be abe to swing the gears, but I doubt it. Unless someone finds them for really cheap, myself included, I don't see them in the very near future for my KJ.

ok I just called Rieder Racing and for 4.10 gears for the D30a are $216 so the same as Trailquest and the overhaul for the 8.25 is $97 and Overhaul for the D30a is $94 and I think both overhauls were both made by Precsion Gear, the D30a for sure

and Im waiting on Trailquest to call me back to see if they have the 4.10 gears for the front in stock

Mike did you paying shipping? I didn't pay sales tax (you must have a store in NV?), the closest store to me is Indianapolis.

Anyway, here's how it broke down for me.

$478.99
-47.90 (10% off)
$23.95 UPS Ground
$455.04

Btw, the web site @ Jegs said 12-19 days. My email conf said 2 - 4 days. I know from past experience UPS Ground ships in my region (IL, MO, IA, WI, MI, IN, OH & KY) in 2 days. So I'm guessing 3 days?

Oh and when I reported the price @ Jaws Gears, come to find out they didn't actually have the item in stock, which is why I went to 4wheelparts.

Oh and as for Troy's list, that should either be updated or removed altogether.

try and stick with Precision gears if you can they are really good, thats what the one extra front diff with 4.10s I have laying in the garage right now has it it and the one I am buying does as well. Some of the ebay stuff ...well is junk like INC stated

wow just had a thought ...I will have 3 front diffs in my garage as soon as I pick up the one that will end up in mine, life is good :lol:

need a bigger garage, 2 car is not big enough anymore :twisted:

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Mon Sep 15, 2008 7:04 pm

ya I cant remember what my front is but the overhaul for the front is precision and isnt the only front 4.10 gears out OEM? and for the rear overhaul Im getting Timken

but Im have aheck of a time tracking down some 4.10 for the front Trailquest didne have any so I guess Im just gonna have to order them from Rieder and wait for them

I'll have my powertrax by Friday I think and then maybe by next Friday the DTT. I did pay shipping and tax but not sure how much. It is coming from Stockton so it couldn't have been much to get to Reno.

Still deciding on gears.

plus the gas savings! when I did my math I also figured up how much Ill be saving a year continuing my 13K miles per year and I would save anywhere from $500-800 per year depending on the MPGs

she'll get over it lol well you have a month till Rieder Racing gets the gears in for the D30a so you can wail a little till you have some more money.

lol for kicks and giggles I called the dealership for the D30a gears and he said that they were gonna cost $485 :shock:

then he asked if he should order them for me, I laughed and said NO! darn dealership thinks Im made of money :roll:

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 16, 2008 1:57 am

oh man you already ordered your powertrax didnt you Mike? I just remembered a place where you can get the Detroit Locker for $548 and the DTT for $481 for the C8.25, Ill check and see what they have the DTT for the D30

but you know what...she can only kill you one time, and most women do not want to kill their man they would rather make their life a living he77 than kill him :lol:

and she is going to need all this baby stuff, so this is the tradeoff

I am sure others can come up with more excuses

I just sat down tonight to show my wife what I will save by doing all the swapping around , half way through she said I don't really understand and it seems like it makes sense so go for it! :lol:

Tom you make a valid point except when Mike's little one's arrive, the only trails he'll be seeing for a couple of years will be coming out of diapers.

:lol:

sorry mike.
