Makes sense, my current tires aren't that wide. Might help out with the new ones though. I think the other idea is if you did flip them (the right way) they are more protected from rocks.

When I had my old boat, I would always tell the Wife and a friend who had a boat, where I was going that day. Just in case. I don't see it any different when Going on trips, or just wheelin... you never know what could happen. There's not always cell signal. Sounds like a good idea to me. I...

BADLANDS 9000lbs Winch Install: So after unboxing I was surprised that it came with no install Instructions. I brushed up on some Youtube Videos and got on it. Pretty straight forward, the Solenoid wires are color coded on the ends, then there's just a ground, Negative and Positive. Winch...

Thanks Michael. Love the OB site and forum. You guys are awesome.

Same.

I would say if your doing a lot of rock crawling, or going to a lot of places with huge obstacles (like moab for example) sliders with the kickout. The kickout would aid in protection..... But if your not doing that sort of thing the kickout could just be a hindrance.

Just ordered mine today. Im official now I guess. Thanks Guys.

Spontaneous buy moment of the build. On sell at local harbor freight, plus 20% off. Normally I would not buy from harbor freight, but it was such a good deal I went for it. Now gotta explain it to the wife somehow :\ Sent from my SM-S920L using Overland Bound Talk mobile app

Update: locker behaves very good on road. Can only be heard ratcheting with windows down, and only ever heard 2 loud unlock/pops so far. (About 35-40miles city driving) -Not off road tested yet- Sent from my SM-S920L using Overland Bound Talk mobile app

Took a day and a half but got the Locker installed. LOKKA Auto-locker for rif dif. Can't wait to put it to use. :smiley:

Axle shafts, brakes etc go on basically in reverse of the removal process... I will say that the shafts go in much easier than they pull out. Next to replace the dif cover, use RTV or a gasket to create a seal and prevent leaks. This is the AutoZone version, basically the same just quick...

Next do a couple of dry fits outside the carrier to see how all parts should look installed. You will need the thrust washers from the original gears to go onto the locker. Now fit the new axle gears into place with the old thrust washer on. Mine were a snug fit. Then an even snugger...

Next remove the stock gears, undo this bolt that holds in the Cross-shaft. I had to use a small wrench as i could not get a socket to fit into the carrier. Then pull out the stock cross-shaft. All Gears and washers should now just fall out (this is what you want). Save these incase there...

With the cover off Scrape all the sealant from around the cover, make sure to use a plastic scraper so it doesn't damage the cover ( again scratches or gouges could cause leaks). Inside the Dana 35 cover (and a lot of others) has a magnet to catch metal shaving from the gears. As you can see...

Next comes the differential work. This is the Dana 35 (same on all 99-04 Grands, unless they had the 44a) Undo all the bolts along the outside of the Dif cover plate, except the top bolt. When you get to this one just loosen it a little. With the top bolt loosened but still in, you can break...

Installing the LOKKA rear dif Auto-Locker. (Dana 35, 27 spline, non-Clip) -THIS WILL BE INTO THE DANA 35, BUT THE PROCESS SHOULD BE GENERALLY SIMILAR FOR ANY AUTO LOCKER INTO ANY DIFFERENTIAL- First of all chock wheels, loosen lugs and jack vehicle high enough to remove wheels and work under...
