He was talking about the tire...Couple hundred bucks is already half way to having that Detroit paid for.

What are you cutting off? Spring hangers? I thought you found a bolt-in axle.
No, the axle is off a 1 ton truck, so spring pads and shock mounts all have to come off. I have new ones from ruffstuff. I just don't feel like dealing with it while it's still over 100 degrees here. I'm thinking winter project.
BB17, right?
Absolutely.
Now you just hafta survive BB16 without trashing your 10-bolt.

Eh, I don't think it will be bad. n00b run and fins n' things look fairly tame.
FIFY...
I don't think there is anything lame in Moab.
Fins n things was cool but it's way mellow. From my experience there you can run a lot of the "harder" trails with a mildly built rig but it's the extra obsticals that give them the higher rating. Oh how I miss Moab... **sighs and puts head in hands**
Where's the adventure in that?!?? Lol jk
I drove my rig to Moab once. It was a fun trip and was a sense of accomplishment for me. The only setbacks I had were my front driveshaft let go (had a spare) and my kid threw up hotdogs and macaroni in his car seat.
I did Fins and Things when I drove my Blazer home from California. I thought it was fun.

So, the plan this saturday is new rear brake shoes and install the spartan locker in the back. Obviously it will go bye bye when I swap in the 14 bolt, but at least I'll have a rear locker for BB16.
Yeah, a 10 bolt with a spartan installed might not get too much, but something is better than nothing. lol. I could pull the spartan out and put it in the front axle, but I don't think I want a full time locker up front.
You do.

They don't seem to turn on loose surfaces (like sand) very easily.
