Tim I watched your video and to be honest, missed some of the steps you mentioned. It could have been much easier! I was just so damn excited! At the end of the day, I got it done and I love the 4.88's!
As always, appreciate you and the experience you provide. I have watched a LOT of your...
East Coast Gear Supply front diff install video
Here is a video I just put together of installing/swapping the front diff/clamshell that I got from ECGS.
I installed 4.88's
Hope you find useful.
Let me know if you have any questions

I installed 4.88's from ECGS a couple weeks ago. With a rear detroit truetrac in my 2001.
My current set up in a 3" lift and 265/75/16's.
I live in a mountainous area in NE Nevada at over 5,000 feet in elevation. 95% of my driving is 60mph or less with a lot of time spent in the mountains...
I was using a buddies Hobart. I did just order a Titanium 140 from Harbor Freight. That is what I will be using for the rear bumper, slider and skids.
Thanks for the kind words
Thank you for the kind words!!! I really appreciate it! Yes using gas would be cleaner. I didn't have much problem though. Honestly, had I not been making a video, I could have had it done in under 5 hours start to finish.
I am sure if you call or emailed Coastal they would be more than happy...
Thanks. I am glad you found it useful! My only recommendation is this: DO IT!!!!!!
You will be so glad you did! And, I feel if you follow the steps in the instructions as well as with my video, ANYONE CAN DO IT!!!
They do not. They are sold as a kit. That being said. Really, this isn't hard. Take your time, make sure you are getting good penetration and you will end up with a great finished project. One that you can take serious pride in knowing that you personally put it together.
Have fun!
Happy Thursday!
Just wanted to share my build video of the Coastal Offroad High Clearance Front Bumper. I have had it for a few months and I am very happy with it!
For those with little to no welding experience. Don't be scared of taking this on yourself. The kit is put together very, very good...
