ifs front locker? how? which? break cv?

[drew02a]

Yeah I changed quite a few CVs on my old truck.

I'd put money on the fact that I've pulled/ replaced more CVs than anyone on this forum.

I think in my situation with the 4runner that a front lunch box & a spare CV in the tool box will be fine. It's on my list.

Well I've been flip flopping about going ARB or lockright in the front on mine. Might reconsider putting a lockright in rather than the ARB ($$$) especially since I have manual hubs.

Same here, I'm going to get that sparten unit for the rear and a lockrite for the front.

I'm gonna do ARB front ant rear. Now that I've had the whole experience, I'm addicted.

How quick is the action on the ARB? Ex: lets say you are going up a steep hill with locker on but need to turn it off to make a hard turn at the top. Does it disengage quick enough to make the turn or is there a delay that would cause it to track steer?

Pretty much instant off/ on. You just don't usually want to engage them while you're already slipping. You can turn them off whenever though.

too much $$$ for my blood, I'm going to have to do the poor mans lockers, well not the poor man because that would involve a welder...

 

[drew02a]

For the rear I would consider an Auburn, because it switches between LSD and locked instead of Open and locked, so it gives you some benefit on pavement.

If I get a 4runner and a Pickup, I'm gonna spool the pickup in the rear and do an autolocker up front.

on mine? I was think i would go that route on the front for sure but go with the sparten on the rear.

I'm not sure they make one for an IFS 7.5" front. The only reason I wouldn't do it in the front is because it would suck on snow and ice. Shouldn't matter for most of y'all though.

oh'well I do know lockrite has one for the front but of course its not LSD, well see.

 

[murphyz]

that is some good info.

spartian or auburn for the rear and

front lockrite or arb, i want air on board in the end... but i want to keep the cost of this build under 8k period. see what kind of rig can be built for that kind of money.

 

[fsbrain03]

So, are we saying that ARB is the way to go? But you are going to break, so be prepared for it. Can the CV's just not take the pressure of being locked?

I will be in the market for one probably next summer.

A pretty good one IMO.

I think it only goes south when they bind up, which will happen faster with a locker.

Gotcha. I'm sure I will be reasking a bunch of these questions early next year as I am deciding what to get. I know that there are a lot of good ones out there.

 

[AlienXtx]

too many....
makes it hard to pick out anything.

 

[murphyz]

chromolly? is it an option
