just chiming in late. no locker would save you from swerving off the road. and all ya need is good ol' 4 lo to get out of the side of the road

plus, a locker might kill your milage

sipping is those cuts or cracks that divide large tread blocks into smaller pieces

http://www.allstarperformance.com/product.htm?prod=33

thats the most basic

much above that and you're talking at least 50 bucks for a tire Groover which actually removes some rubber and creates grooves, similar to what your tires have, useful for breaking down larger blocks into independent blocks

hand sipped tires after about 1000 miles, the tread blocks will start to open up some and start working better

if you look close on this fellers tires, he's sipped his in this manner

Ehh, my tires are at the point it wouldn't matter. I'm buying new tires in September.

Could anyone tell me how long putting in 4.10s in front+rear would take plus locker?

I'm thinking if I could get a wench party going before ECS, I could pay one of you all to do install 4.10s and a locker. Since I've seen pictures of this being done before. It would be a tight squeeze though. Ordering parts in September, waiting on them to get here and then having someone install everything before ECS (if it happens in October, HOPEFULLY!) There's a shop in town that can do it, but I'd rather have one of you all do it for me :wink:

If ECS happens in September, I may be sitting on the sideline watching.

You can't just throw gears in.... and do you know how much they are going to be? including fluids and 2 bearing kits.... You're looking at 800 MININUM! and that's just for the gears..... Plus 500 for a locker.....

you really dont need 4.10s with 245/75, not going to do too much...if you really want just get a DTT locker or something, but its not going to make things better if you dont know how to use it

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 8:20 am

Ah, Stingn
well that could be true or maybe not
one guy on another forum with 245-75-16s installed 4.10s and mileage went up quite a bit and way better throttle response.
Actually 4.10s and 245-75s is better than 265-75s and 4.10s when it comes down to it
Yes takes special tools to install gears, plus front diff has to come out to install them etc.
You want to make sure the person doing them knows what he is doing. Many can and will say they do but........

Well, I remember someone a few weeks ago was saying how we "people up here" can't drive in the snow/ice..... :goink:

Seriously, glad you are okay, even with AT tires, once you get the ice under there, not much will grab short of studs or chains. That's why I slid into the guy a few weeks ago, temps were @ about 26-27* and we had rain right before the snow and I was going down hill....nothing I could do once I started sliding. Glad you are okay.

BW, when you plannin to go to Sevierville? I have a good friend who owns a Chalet rental company down there, his place is right off the main drag in PF across from the upside down building. I almost went to work for him, but pay wasn't quite enough for me.

Man Dustin, that is pretty low heart rate, even for an active runner. hope it's just something simple they can fix.

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 10:51 am

Phase One at Dentist done this A.M.
Him......................a little over $2500.00 richer
Me...very sore, not a fair trade off
Phase Two begins tomorrow at 8 A.M.

Monday back to Heart Specialist

Man to be 30 again :ROTFL:

The company I REALLY want to work at called me at 9 am this morning! Less than 24 hours from the interview yesterday and that was after they said they a few other fellows to interview! I guess I am at the top of the poop pile :ROTFL:

Signed scanned and emailed all paperwork back, now for the wait of a counter offer :pepper:

Someday Tom, I KNOW your going to take me down there to have some fun! :JEEPIN:

edit: Hey Tom, I thought I was the Hart specialist :ROTFL:

tommudd · **Posted:** Thu Feb 10, 2011 12:00 pm

Buggin

You are the HART Specialist for sure :-)r

So tell me your thoughts on getting my BP down from 190/130 :ROTFL:

Congrats on the job,
well sounds like you are in for sure anyways

Getting the bp down legally? :ROTFL:

I am in, just waiting on the background check, which isn't a problem, then have to go for physical when the check comes back. :pepper:

Yeah I can just throw in gears. I'll have the money and yes I know how much 4.10s are and what a locker costs. I've done my homework. :wink:

Yes I do need 4.10s. Come hell or high water, 4.10s are going in BlackWidow. I guess I'm just gonna have to show you how we southern people do it off-road. :roll:

I can sense some bs :ROTFL:

You'll see soon enough :wink:

Thank you Tom. I do want 4.10s guys. I think my Jeep would run a heck of alot better with 4.10s and 245-75-16s. Hey I may be a woman, but I know my Jeeps. The guy in town who has worked on my Jeep 4 times now rebuilds rear ends, front ends etc... I trust his work, so that shop is going to install it. A certified ASE mechanic wanted $800 roughly for just labor. They (ASE mechanic) were giving me some bs I know that for a fact cause I'm a woman. Plain and simple.

I never said they couldn't drive on snow and ice. :goink:

The ones I run into on the road here are horrible just simply driving in town. One Ohio idiot in a rice box a couple weeks ago (guessing Acura) cut me off and nearly took the front end off BlackWidow :furious:

Thanks though for caring about me instead of OTHERS giving me a hard time :roll:

I can go to Seveirville anytime. It's not that far off and I have a 2nd cousin down there who does maintenance on the Chalets down in Seveirville and lives in a cabin there. His name is Howard, you friend may know him.
