Well I just ordered a Auburn ECTED locker, Bama Programmer(finally get to see what its like), a DZK pulley and a Proform E-fan.

Tires ordered, should be here hopefully Friday:) 5 33x12.50 Dunlop Mud Rovers:)

I also have ORR, RF and TRS stickers on the way, all going in the toolbox and maybe one or two on the windows:)

And we are building my bumper the weekend of the 2nd:)
Fun times are here again.

Wow, man that's AWESOME. I can't wait to get this axle build and have the locker in. You're 4WD so it will be even better.

I'm glad you got those tires -- the other ones didn't impress me offroad in some conditions. Dunlop generallly makes some good tires. I used to run D60-A2's with their double A traction rating on my old Elantra and loved them. Dunlop is owned by Goodyear these days, which probably won't hurt them any.

I'm interested in that DZK pulley. I've thought about them but just shyed away -- I'm afraid of inadequate charging with all the electronic junk I've got in the truck these days.

i like dunlop tires too, i have some GT qualifiers on the torino, and after maybe 2 years of just minimal driving time, only one is missing chunks out of the tread. believe me, thats a GOOD thing.

i guess we will be busy, eh ryan??

I'll let you know John, the only real power sucker will be the system, but then that won't be really big anyway.

Yea the way you drive that poor car, that is amazing thats all thats wrong with the tires:) Yep, we'll have a busy day or weekend.

Make sure you have a good drill to make the hole in the diff centersection for the e-locker wire. I suspect it's pretty hard. Don't forget to mount the tone ring off your old diff so your ABS still works either! Although I'm sure they cover that in the install papers.

8.8 up in this piece.
Hmmm, I don't think they make a 4x4 with the 7.5.
Yes the procomp sticker is on the windshield and the amsoil sticker is on the back:)
