Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

You fix things? I thought you just completely disregard everything and drive all them anyway.

This is coming from someone who rarely fixes pretty significant problems.

I do that, but they're actually all in pretty decent condition right now... all things considered.

Once I get the 5ton moved back to Mass I'll be more in a mood to fix shit because I am parking it in my back yard such that its bed will form a small but serviceable work area.

Enough stock that I get to drive it once a week / wheel it once a month.

For a 440 dude, you can have 50% ownership.

You'd need to source a transmission / t-case.

and 1 tons, I honestly cannot afford a 440, even if it was given to me for free. The gas i'd spend, breakage i'd have to deal with, and other parts i'd need to buy, but holy XXXX I would do it.

My main concern would be upgrading the fuel cell I plan on buying for the MJ.

15 gal would go pretty quick at 6-7k rpms in a 440.

It's 10x stronger than DOM and you can bend it by hand!

I can't wait to be done and go wheeling

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I have so much shit left to do and buy before that can even be a thought.

You also don't seem to care when you wheel again.



I do care, and want to be wheeling by summertime.

No idea.

I'd go selectable at that price. You can even get 37-spline ARBs.

 

[MoparManiac]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Or you could just weld it up.

I know I admitted it, that's why I didn't argue the point :bawl:

That's sort of what I was thinking but I doubt 37 spline axles would be worthwhile. The ones it came with are 35 spline and don't neck down at all, should be good for a bit. Hmm... So what do I want?

Spool: $500
ARB: $910
Detroit: $426
LockRight: $398

I can get 5.13 thick cut gears to keep my carrier and get a lock rite for near $400 or I could get thin cut 5.13's and get a Detroit for near $400... I know I want the selectable in the rear, but I'm not seeing any cheap options other than welded rear with 5.13T's.

edit: hmm, maybe I can't get 5.13T's... I swear I saw it.

I'd bet a lot more people run 60s than 70s, bigger market = more competition and more sales volume so the margins are lower.

Please. Please don't let that be your bad pun of the day.

Good ol' supply and demand.
