Given the configuration of the pipe, I'll hazard a guess that while it didn't get the prize, it did get an honors for effort.

haha yeah. I heard a weird sound and my tailpipe was crumpled up under my axle. I think I backed it into a large rock and it pushed the hanger off, and then it got pushed into the ground when i backed up again :clap2:

Thanks!

The moment we've all been waiting for!!

I've so got to learn how to do this!!

Chuckles89 · Feb 15, 2016

It wasn't bad. We combined these three writeups in our heads to do it and it worked out great! Also, my diff. is confirmed to be a 4.10 ratio and it has very little wear on the ring gear with barely any backlash!

I was pretty amazed at how tight the diff was after 250,000+ miles. I guess someone at one time actually changed the oil. The Aussie instructions concerned me but the photo writeup really helped.

Thanks [MENTION=97483]Chuckles89[/MENTION] for the pictures. That seems like a pretty simple and functional design!

I met my first fan! He is also a student at TTU and has followed my build since I started! I was shocked haha

The locker works great! I wish I could have disconnected my front sway bar, but I couldn't get the nuts of due to rust caused by the salt from last month.

First of all, the locker is the most amazing thing I have ever done to my truck!! I climb like a goat now!

Lookin' good in the parking lot

Nemo Tunnel 24 again!

Peeking out from the boulders

The locker let me climb this with no wheel spin!

Some hub action!

The old Nemo bridge- built in 1929

Piers from the old, old Nemo bridge- was washed away in a huge flood in 1929

The coolest 1st gen 4x4 Toyota I have ever seen! A few details- 35s, brand new 22R (2 months old), bobbed 15", some sort of gears- diffs/TC. It was pretty dang awesome!
