autumnwalker Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Good deal! Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Ordered online Tuesday, received today. PA has free shipping (up to $39) on orders over $75 until the end of December. Even if I paid for the shipping, the cost of fuel would have been more that the cost to ship @ $18.40!

TRUXterra Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 You better make it up to the kids and your wife, or you'll never be allowed to use all those new goodies ;) !! That is certainly the truth :) no worries there, it's all good, been dropping the lines about this since last Xmas...lol. Getting the time to complete the installs is going to be the issue. Things just don't look the same sitting in a box covered in dust...they need to be on the truck covered in dirt. BL & suspension in the Spring, winch between the holidays (hopefully). I've already started dropping hints about next years leaf spring, rear locker (full axles swap) and a few other things too. I should have a good handle on the level of acceptance by September or so...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Didn't the Xterras come with a rear locker? or was it just an option from the factory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Standard on the off-road model only. It's part of my master plan (insert your own sinister laugh here). Swap the rear with the e-locker and do what\s known as teh Titan swap on the front. Only issue is to have the gears match and thus the reason I need to swap both the front & rear at the same time. Might have to drop 2-3 years of hints for that one to pass. F&R diff's are going to cost ~$1.5k combined used, not including other parts....

Eastcoastcam Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Can you buy a locker for it? Just tell her the locker in the rear is broken & you NEED to replace it, haha :lol: ! I had Tara hook, line & sinker until Cameron said "I thought you said you didn't HVE a locker, Dad!" :mad: Kids say the darnedest things, don't they?

TRUXterra Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 lol, I'd do that if it weren't $1k + installation just for the locker. If I go OEM, it'll have a lower gear ratio & better for mileage. Currently I have 3.13's, the e-locker for auto's is 3.36, and e-locker for manual is 3.69. Won't go into a lot of detail, but 3.69 is great for 35's, but creates additional considerations for the front. It'll be at least 1 if not 2 (more likely) years before I tackle this issue. At the end of the day, when done, I can run 35's (some front fender trimming required) and I'll sit ~5" over stock not including the additional height from the tires ( 31's to 35's = +2" more) and body lift (+2"). I'd sit about the same height as Ron's FJ & it would be all suspension lift, no drop brackets. My pipe dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Devin, you can always try. The worst she can do is laugh uncontrollably and walk away shaking her head and saying "NO". ...or just buy it and tell her after you get installed. "Its easier to ask for (and get ;) ) forgiveness than it is to get permission." !!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 lol, one of my favorite sayings only a bit different. "It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission"...lol Pic of what the above can do with 35's, no body lift though. Think I need to buy a lotto ticket for Fridays lotto Max...anyone want to start a pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Really not a fan of those wheels, but otherwise looks pretty sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 That looks sweet (except for those rims!!). A bit of body lift would give a bit of room for wheel travel though, especially where the rear axle has some articulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I agree with the rims, I love mine the way they are and will keep them. It's more the stance pre-body I was showing. Tried quickly to find the pic that I have as my "reference" but couldn't find it. My X sits at 38" to the front fender lip, with the BL, TS (Titan Swap) + 35's. I'd be at 44". I already have a 3.5" lift & 33's. I'm still on the fence cause a locker in the rear & 33's will get me through 98% of the trails we run. The additional cost of 35's + the wear and tear is something that...aww who am I kidding, I want it...lol Again, who wants to add funds to a mod lotto pool?
