Future fun little package in the mail

[gannonrt]

So I finished up last night, tried to back out of my garage and heard a terrible metal sound. I couldn't back up either. Looked at the diff, wheels, driveshaft, everything... couldn't figure it out.... Then I noticed that I left a wheel chock on my passenger front tire....duh...

Everything else seems to work. I do have the parking brake light on for some reason but that's not an immediate concern since I know the brake is not on....

just read post below.. low brake fluid would make sense since I bled the brakes. I inspected the reservoir but didn't add any. Write up to come this weekend hopefully.

That must have been a horrible moment or two...

It was. I was wanting to throw up for a moment thinking about taking it back out again.

No review of the locker?

For real! Come on gannon, how's it doing? How loud is it? How crazy (or not) is it to drive now?

Looking forward to more video & writeup. Good work! :thumb3:

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. It's been a busy week at work. I know that's a lame excuse. But accurate. My son goes to be at 7:30 tonight and my wife is out with friends so I'll do more work on it tonight.

I hate ****ing time warner cable! I just wrote for an hour and pressed the post button. I got the stupid website not found link and lost everything. Sorry but my son is up now so I'll have to get back to this later.......

I have gotten in the habit of copying a long post just for that reason. Pretty sure you got that now though.

I've started a new thread on the installation of the Locker here:
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-g...ential-installation-write-up.html#post1029078

I couldn't figure out how to change the title of this thread and I wanted people to be able to easily find an installation thread so... new thread. I learned my lesson the the lost posting so I'm actually writing the installation posts in word and copying as needed. I'll finish the installation thread this week.

New thread is 90% complete and is useful as a writeup on how to do the install yourself. Still needs torque values, part numbers and a few other items but definitely useful if you're trying to decide to tackle this on your own.
