Grandma and grandpa are getting me some nice long tube headers for Christmas so that's one thing down but what should I ask from myparents? I would really like a locker for my truck. What kind do you guys recomend? It can't be way to expensive. Would there be any problems with it in the future?
Thanks!

 

Whatever it takes to bring the 4x4 back?

 

^^^^1000 times agreed.

No 4wd? Man I would give up the long tubes, and start collecting cans before I could upgrade anything else. I would sell the X-plode stereo, and start selling some blood or plasma before I went any further with no 4wd.
Priorities are different for many people, but you are in the Off-road forum.
Pretty sure most will agree that a truck without a functional 4wd system is nothing more than a car with a giant trunk!

 

I'm saving up to get a solid D44 in there since the ttb didn't hold up to well. That alone will be 1800. I have money saved for it but I'm still waiting for summer to come along so I can have money to buy and install it.

 

Hey and you would be pretty amazed by what I can do in 2wd. All the stuff I have on it is what helps me go through tough stuff. And I know my limitations to 2wd. But when I do get stuck it's because I'm getting no power to the tire that I really need. I thought a locker would help me in the long run when I get my axle?

 

Right. 8.8 inch rear? If it's an open diff throw in an aussie locker. They're cheap.

 

you could have a d60 for under 1k. Pm me for details...

 

I was dying to ask why stop at a 44 and not just get a 60, especially when he wants to run 37s in the future..... but I didn't want to bring it up first.

 

Skip the headers, and get them to go in on the d60 SAS.

 

I tghink that horse has been beaten to death, but spending on 1800 on a 44 is dumb when you can get a stronger axle for less money...

 

but is it a new rebuilt one? I would like to know where I can get a D60 for under a 1k. I had to stop at a D44 because I couldn't afford a new D60. I don't want to argue about my truck being crippled to 2x4, I know I need to fix it but I don't have much time until summer.

 

What broke on your TTB ? U joints on a solid 44 are the same size.

 

DUDE??? Just stop We know its a piece of wood. Pre runners are cool.

 

dude, 1800 for a d44? When I find a 60 i'm going to sell my perfectly good 44 for like a couple hundred bucks... You could buy three or four trucks with 44 fronts for that...

Is that for a brand new one? rebuilt? usually the front axle spent its life cruising with the hubs unlocked and is in pretty good shape, new wheel bearings, seals, gear lube and u joints should do ya. thats around 200 dollars in parts plus whatever you can get the axle for. Just a though for you.....

 

A fracture on the right side of the axle near the tire. We were coming back from an excursion and I was leading my friends out the trails, it was dark and I hit a big rock in a crevice after the dirt gave way. I didn't think it was bad until I got home. Mud and sand got into the shaft. We took it to the shop and the front gears got chewed up, luckily I found a donor truck for $200.
