Thomas' thread: Built not Bought

[DeclansDaddy]

Well tested the locker today and it works great. Surprisingly I can't hear it clicking from the inside. I could hear it a little bit with the window down and my head out the window. 4wd seems to be working great as well. Oil pump will be here Friday so that'll be my Saturday project and then bring on the snow Mother Nature!!!!

Operation 3.Slow head gasket repair has begun!!! Had to stop for the night, don't have a 12mm 12 point socket for the head bolts. Hopefully heads will be headed to the machine shop tomorrow.

Finally got the old girl out in the snow. All the other subs called out today due to the 5 maybe 6" of snow. Psshh. That ain't going to keep me from getting my 4Runner funds, I need some damn tires!!! The 1.5/32 of tread didn't make the trip any easier, just a little more fun

Been a while since I updated pretty much because I haven't had a chance to do anything. But the weather is getting warmer and I'm getting really excited about getting this thing painted. Tires and gears are bought I'm just waiting to get the gears installed as I want to make sure I get them done right. Also threw a red top Optima in her just to help her spin over a little better

Lookin good man. What did you decide to go with for gears?

I went with the USA Standard 5.29's with the mini install kits. Got a buddy of mine that's supposed to install them for me cheap as long as I bring him the 3rds. So whenever he gets some time they'll be put in. Hopefully within the next couple weeks.
