Well that really sucks.

lonesouth:
new gears and brake stuff ordered.  will finish the setup next week.

JustaFordGuy:
Did you get your gears finished?

lonesouth:
I did get this finished.  gears and lockers installed.  Rear setup without needing any different pinion shims than what I already had.  Pattern looked good, slapped it back together and off I went.  Went on a trail ride with Scott(RedTinTop) the saturday before thanksgiving.  VERY dry and dusty, though we did find a fair amount of mud.  He was impressed at what I managed to get through, and I only got stuck when the axles grounded.  He fully expected me to need a pull more often since I am running ATs.  The only time it wanted to plow in a turn was when I was full lock in some slick stuff, other than that, it drove pretty normal.  Still tweaking the steering a little bit, and now I've got rear brakes to replace.

JustaFordGuy:
That's awesome, it does make a ton of difference with both ends locked.
