Locker, Gears or Bumper????

Since it seems everyone and their mother is out of gears right now anyway, hopefully I can get my hands on some and do it all at once. I am going to try and get another couple trail runs in this year before... well, like crossbones said... :shock:

well you can find places that have them its just that the places that I have found that has them wants atleast $300 :shock:

so I guess Im waiting until Reider gets some in :roll:

Yep, might as well wait if you are going to do it anyway. I am still deciding, leaning towards not, but we'll see. Hey by then the Aussie will possibly be out and those that want it can pick it up and install it and the gears.

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 2:58 pm

Im not sure I didnt ask he just said he had a bunch of lockers on sale so I asked what he had for the 8.25

ah I dont care about Aussie anymore Im gonna get either the DTT or DL for the rear

So did you buy from classiccityoffroad.com?

Every place I called was out of stock in the DTT and powertrax except Jegs and 4wheelparts. Not sure about the DL. Didn't want to spend the $ on it anyway.

no when I bought my DTT I got it from 4wheelparts and I dont have the money right now for the rear bc of the gears...ya Im gonna end up paying for the same thing twice :roll:

So you're going to get and install the gears but not the rear locker? Bummer, especially because you did the front locker separate too. In the end you will have paid for each end to get worked on twice. I can relate though. $$$$$-wish it grew on trees.

yep I paid somewhere around $300 for the front to be installed and itll be $400 for the gears so Im gonna talk tot him and see if he cant cut me a deal on the rear locker when I finally get one, I do enough business with him I ought to get a deal, b/c he also did my steering rack :roll:

If he is a good guy then he might. My dad's diesel mechanic is that way and I used to have a mechanic like that then he had a stroke and had to close shop. Luckily my buddy that worked for Cummins and a bunch of other mechanic shops moved to town and now he can help me get things done.

ya, when I dropped off my Jeep so he could do the front locker he let me stay in the garage and watch him install it and he told me how to do it so I figure he'll show me how to do the gears plus I usually try to help him as long as I dont feel like Im getting in his way or slowing him down

So I just walked out my front door and saw my powertrax sitting there in a box. Talk about fast delivery.

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 11:36 pm

awesome! so are you going to install it now? are you going to do it yourself?

Inc · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 11:39 pm

Waiting at least until I get the DTT for the front and maybe gears.

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 11:57 pm

are you going to install it yourself? thats the only reason right now I would want the powertrax or aussie is b/c I could do it myself and not have to pay again

Inc · **Posted:** Thu Sep 18, 2008 12:17 am

I am going to give m buddy a hand when we do the whole thing. Not paying for labor.

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 18, 2008 3:34 pm

well I just ordered 4.10 for the front from Rieder Racing for $209 and will be getting them in 4-5 days

but I have to wait about 4 weekd until they get the front overhaul kits in

unless I can find a place that has them

Inc · **Posted:** Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:19 pm

Well, I've decided to hold off on getting gears for now. Since my buddy is hooking me up with the free install, I can have him help me do the gears later on when money isn't an issue.

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 18, 2008 8:52 pm

so are you going to install the powertrax when you get the DTT?
