[Scallops]

Sweet - you sick puppy! :D

I guess if you have 'em in, you wouldn't ever see TC come on, would you?

[Creador122]

I should say Hi, so HI!

[dmdigital]

John did you put stronger axles/half shafts in too?

Neat installation!

[Psimpson7]

Nice one John,

Very neat!

Love the switches :)

Don't forget that not only do they make your car more capable, but they are kinder on the car as well. Just remember that they big round thing in front of you is essentially useless when the front one is on. Turning it will only result in broken bits so it's point and shoot :)

Geez, that thing looks so good, inside and out.
It was unstoppable before - it'll be mental now.
Gives me a horn everytime I see it. :D

You know that lockers get you more into the poo?:D

Very nice John, you have built a bit of a weapon:twisted:

CHEERS TIM.

Don't take offence Alan - you're in Auckland! :p

The sickest :p That's the idea. but I also still plan on using the TC as it definitly has its time and place to use it, but this way I have the best of both worlds :D


John did you put stronger axles/half shafts in too?

Neat installation!
No, standard axles still. We'll see how they go? Pete's survived for ages and it wasn't till he put his Kreepys on till he busted one. So I should be right till I transfer the 37's from the Hummer.........

You may well be ok John, I would do exactly that and see how they go. As you said until this week I have only ever broken one long rear axle on 33's and then broke the same one again on the new 35's last weekend. I ran the 35 extremes on a few trips and didnt break anything with them. My lockers have been in for about 90k km aswell so have had pelnty of oppourtunity to break things!

The problem is that if you upgrade the front with larger CV's you will lose the ABS/TC as I dont think that there are upgraded CV's available with the exciter ring on....although I am not totally sure about that. The rears arent an issue as I think the ring bolts into the hub - You are more likely to need to do the rears than the fronts at least to start with.

The point that was made about steering is valid to an extent, but I have lost count of how many times I have used full lock, front locker and revs and got away with it!

[Captain_Rightfoot]

The good thing about having TC and lockers is that you can have the back locked up, and the front open and still steer, yet let the TC look after the traction on the front axle. Only in dire conditions would you need to lock the front. :eek:

[long stroke]

We are alway's using the front locker without any steering issue's, as long as your not doing any hard cornering at speed, most the time your going slow with lockers anyway;)

Just dim the lights, light a few candles, maybe pour yourself a drink - now, do a search for JohnR's piccies of his truck - you'll be cured! :D

Dan you are seriously FREEKING ME OUT!!!! :eek2: Do I have to get a restraining order out? :nazilock:

Andrew, some would say I might be the less of the two members with all my strap on bits :angel:

:p

[dmdigital]

John, off topic but can you remind me what springs and shocks you put in your Puma?

I know you lifted it as well, I'm not doing this but I am replacing the rear springs as they have dropped a little and I'm looking at putting Koni Raid shocks all round.

Hey! I was just trying to help .... :D

And no restraining order necessary - my shed is closer than Red Hill. ;)

According to Ashcrofts web site (http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/part_53.html), their upgraded cv's are available with grooves to suit ABS.

I put King Spring +2" springs in. As of yet I have not yet done the shockies yet but I am researching. I have rear relocation cones and looking at getting the new front towers then I will look at shockies with extra droup. I am also looking at some sort of dislocation system for the sway bars as well.
