Any shot of a wrenchfest this weekend? 5/28 or 29?

[Hoodoo Man]

I know its going to be tough to put together a wrenchfest with GTD and final prep for a lot of folks for Rausch creek. If anyone thinks they can spend some time out in Westford I need to replace my blown rear locker as the heep is not drivable as is. I plan to drop an ARB RD117 in the rear as it is sized properly for the Rubicon thick gear set. Otherwise I may be out for the Carnage run... Im more than happy to provide meals and what not and should be able to get into my neighbors lift. I can get the rear torn down and shafts and carrier out but the whole shimming process is a mystery to me and Im pretty sure I wont be able to do this one on my own...

thanks
Jeff

Are you re-using the R&P, just want to double check. If you can wait for the week, I can head out one day/night and this would be a quick job.

Jeff, I don't know if you already bought the new locker, but have you considered pulling the carrier and welding anything that moved?

This might be a good chance to see if you like a spool at the cost of only a little time.

Hey Joe
i planned on ordering the locker today but got busy with work... also talked with Lou and he feels the ARB has too high a failure rate, pushed me toward either a replacement stock rubi locker or an OX.... too many damn decsions...

Chris I am planning on reusing the same R&P as they are fairly new (500miles) and still look OK.... So now I probably wont have parts in time for the weekend... Grrrrrrrrr

I'll let you know what I think of the OX locker in a week or so when my front axle shows up....

I love my OX!!!!!! Just make sure to Locktite the heck out of the little carrier end cap bolts and the ring gear bolts!!!!!!!!

Lose one set of ring bolts and you go and get all freaky ! get new ones with every install or repair. Rule of thumb . FjR68
