Locker has been in for most of the 60,000 miles, as has the lift. I caught the leak fairly quickly because it parks in a garage. The thing I struggle with is: What supports the inboard end of the CV shaft other than this bushing in the ARB locker?

Seal was leaking on front diff where left CV shaft exits. Found the side bushing in the ARB air locker was destroyed, causing the CV shaft splines to gouge up the bore the bushing had protected. Whole locker needs to be replaced. Could a 3" front end lift have caused this, due to geometry...

Installing the 194 LEDs in map lights Maybe everyone but me has figured this out, but in my 2010 I removed the overhead console and took it into the shop to exchange the lamps. Simply remove two screws accessible when you open the sunglasses door. With the console on the bench the lamp...

Yes, 2.4 Ghz. The camera manufacturer says some more recent Bluetooth devices have the ability to detect interference and switch to another frequency or code. Don't know if 2010 T4Rs would be able to do this.

I have ordered a wireless backup camera for hitching the trailer to my 2010 SR5. There is info out there that the Bluetooth link of the T4R may interfere with the camera's signal. Apparently some vehicles can have their Bluetooth capability temporarily disabled. Any knowledge that this is...

I did both; works fine.

My experience was about like Libido's. But since I was in my garage and had two comealongs I put two eyebolts into the ceiling joists and this let me bring the bumper into position with solid control.

Inserting the Bags What is the best technique for installing the air bags inside the springs? When I tried this before it was very difficult to get them in. Did you find a trick?

Airlift 1000 Taking you back to the Airlift 1000s: Now that you have been running them for several months, can you detect any abrasion wearing on the walls of the bags? A while back I ordered a set and started the installation, but I became fearful that the compression motion of the spring...

Congrats! What was the date of your order?

There's another way to think about this too. I put ARB lockers in both front and rear of my SR5. Even with a wheel or two in the air, due to limited articulation, there are still traction wheels on the ground. Of course the lockers give advantage well beyond that particular condition.

Pictures, yes indeed. And a couple looking up from underneath showing the attachments to the frame. That would build our confidence that it will withstand an off axis winch pull.

Should be getting close, right?

In my opinion nothing increases off road capability more than diff lockers. Tires are important and a lift helps, but keeping four wheels turning matters the most. Others may emphasize tires more, but if any aren't going around they aren't helping. I don't remember exactly, but I think the...
