The Turbo Rock Lobster

:lol:

Next mod: Remote control steering. The Rock lobster will be a 1:1 scale RC crawler. The possibilities for freaking people out are endless

Epicness waiting to happen. :) lol I would just ride in the passenger seat and hid the controller. Lol and act all freaked out like the truck has a mind of its own lol
 
I think something is wrong.....

Decided now was a good time to change the front diff oil. Thats what came out. Fished around inside the drain plug hole and pulled out a crap ton of what look to be spider gear chunks.
 
I can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. Subscribed!

When I regeared to 4.88s the drain plugs on my front and read diffs looked like that after the 300-500 mile break in period. I didn't have any chunks though...
 
Uh oh! Gotta get that thing ready for moab!!!
Yep. Finish one thing, something else breaks

It's a sign, that it's time to drop a locker in the front diff!

I am thinking about it. I'll probably just buy another used stock diff and keep this one to put a locker in.

Ya! In a solid axle :guitar2:

IFS: :deadhorse:

Don't worry. It will happen

Yeah same with the crawl box. Small filings are normal for a break in period.

I'm pretty sure this isn't normal though :(

Well awaiting the damage report and hope you get this beasty ready for MOAB cause I am looking forward to seeing it :)

Don't worry. It will be ready. I'm waiting to hear back from the guy that i bought the elocker axle from to see if he still has the front diff.

Well my fingers are crossed there. Would be cheaper than a regear.

On another note, I played with my coilovers for like three hours on Saturday and could not get my ride to level. From the position they came in to me the drivers side went up 3/4 in and the passenger was down an inch. Still leaned to the driver. Ordered a trim packer yesterday as I am fairly certain that it is the rear that is throwing it off.
 
Just Bad A%$...

The Rock Lobster-

After reading ALL of this all I can say is WOW!!!! Makes me want to set up my Limited up like this and make it a sleeper. Just wondering how it works out with a Auto vs a Stick? After seeing it crawl, I get how the breaks would not stop it. Might be a little issue at some point right? Anyhow the truck is kick ass.

Alright alright, I'm jelly as hell now.. I want a damn crawl box.. :humph:

Why did your shifter not come up through the cup holder? I believe I've seen a bracket that allows you to move it over if you're having issues.. Grant it, you've already hacked everything to shit lol. I may have missed it but did you go with 2.28's or 4.7's?

Have you finished your elocker wiring? You know I did a retrofit wiring write-up specifically for what you're doing. Rather simple.

Good job with everything man. I'd love to do a crawl box. Tight fit with an auto though.
