Default A few flex pics, and tire air!!

Yesterday my friend and I went offroading for a bit. We were just trail riding. I came up to this ditch and decided to see if I could climb the wall. It was a lot taller than I thought. My back tire is off of the ground a good 1 1/2 feet off of the ground. The 3rd pic looks like it is on a fallen dirt clump but it is in the air. The 1st pic you can see the tire clearly in the air.

My friend has a 1982 Dodge Ramcharger. While we were out we found out his driver side locking hub is all busted up. Don't know how that happened. Should be a simple fix.

Heck ya lockers rule! I made it up and down easly with it. By the way, I don't remember if you got one for your new axle. Or are you going with that LSD trash.

Edit: Added an extra pic.

Well right now the 14 bolt is open. I'm going to get a Yukon Grizzley locker for it... basically a detriot knock off, but I've heard theyre actually better than detriots.

Get this though... the Grizzly locker and detriot locker for the 14 bolt are lunchbox lockers, not full carrier lockers!!! Thats how strong the factory open carrier is on the 14 bolt!

And as for the dana 44... I'm thinking about the Ox locker. Its a cable actuated manual locker. I guess its like the electric or air lockers, but has a lever you mount in the floor and a cable running to the front axle rather than wires or air lines.

They are called Selectable lockers.

Ya I have heard the Grizzley units are great. And the 14 bolt has a 10.5in ring and pinion. That is HUGE. So there is a ton more room for a HD lunch box style locker.

IMO, those 2 trucks are some of the coolest and most badass ever built.

Looks like a lot of fun Crazy - I wouldn't trust my suspension to handle offroading. These days it's enough of a thrill to drive on the highway in my squeaky rig.
