Differential Question:
#26
Wheels took the most beating, but don't look bad at all cleaned up.
How about yours, it was a little hard to see on white, but I think you got some scratches on your clear. Didn't go through the paint did it?

This has been discussed many times. Its very doubtful that Torsen will ever come out with the unit. There were a lot of rumors saying summer 07, then summer 08. The latest rumor I heard was that production wasn't likely because the demand wasn't high enough to justify the cost to manufacture. Read up about it on ORR, there is a guy over there that works for Torsen.
A front locker will break things, IF you are very hard on your truck. What size tires will you be running? The ones you have now? I've got 35s and I've romped on mine pretty hard and I broke some brackets and whatnot but the diff and CVs held up, surprisingly. You must also remember that the guys over on Pirate know what they're talking about, but keep in mind most of them are very hardcore when it comes to wheelin, and when you are that hard on your rig things are bound to break.
Anyway, i have one more concern. The guys on Pirate4x4.com insist that putting a locker in the front will break stuff. They are telling me that the front axle isnt strong enough to handle a locking diff. Of course, these guys dont own Rangers, but they seem fairly knowledgeable.
I think Im just gonna do the e-locker in the rear and leave the front alone for now. hopefully someday there will be LS for the ranger dana 35...

they all washed out, looks like it has never been offroad. Minor cleacoat damage was concealed with wax, and you can't tell.

Either way, it should be amusing for sure! Should be interesting
Have you driven a truck with a front locker in the snow?

Front diff
Torsen makes a LS for the Dana 35 Modified diff ... no clutch BS either Powertrax is made in China!!! Torsen 100 present US made only Torsen and Auburn are US made now!!! Even Detroit isn't made in US anymore!!! I only run Torsen helical gear traction diffs in my 06 FX4.... you get what you pay for!!! DvDave
