I'm running a Lil Skip's. I'm local in Denver and he met me between his house and mine. Fantastic guy and I always want to support local, that's why for my full skids I went with Front Range Off Road.
East Coast Gear, who does a crap ton of Toyota 3rds and other gears, recommends non synthetic Lucas Severe duty. They say to spend less and just change it more often. This is what I'm running in my diffs I got from them, and will always run as I agree with their line of thinking.
Tire size and transmission?
I dd mine on 35's with 5.29 and it's perfect. Can still do highway speeds, yet I can just roll on the throttle to get up less steep hills. It's nice to not have the trans shifting all the time.
I will get some current pics of mine, also need to do a trail hike with them this summer. My current list is:
XMAXX - extremely fun, but you need lots of space
2, 1/10 Summits - want to do a brushless conversion on one of them
Stampede - 2WD fun
1/16 Summit - brushless and needs a little work...
Thanks for the link! I'm looking at doing this down the road for filling my tires, but kinda nervous to run the Co2 for air lockers due to what's pointed out above.
Thanks again for all the feedback guys!!!
I think I'm going to go with the CMKA12 and mount it in the engine bay. Later down the line I might pick up a Powertank if I go to beadlocks with the monster valve, but keep the ARB for lockers and backup air source.
Thanks for all the feedback guys.
Will have to look into that Smittybilt some more. Wonder where I could mount it as it's bigger than the ARB dual.
I do have some Milwaukee tools and just picked up an impact, so air tools is more of a backup or just an option if absolutely needed.
The single...
So last night I ordered new gears and front locker from ECGS!! I went with 5.29's for my 35's and added the front ARB because why not when doing all the work. Now I need an air source.
I'm looking at the ARB dual compressor as it would be awesome to have something that can air up my tires as...
