Default Just installed my 9 inch

The rear is from Moser. I had no problems with it or the install (I installed it in my garage) as of yet but the obvious whine and clunk of the locker other then that I am pretty happy. The ABS and the ASR works fine too. I broke her in then played around a little since I personally think more break in is required. I can hardly tell the difference with the gear change 10 bolt 3.42 - 9" 4.11. My buddy said that it pulls hard as hell but really I havent driven the car in so long I cant tell. It does feel a little faster but I guess I will have to wait till I go to the track this sat to see if it really made a difference or not. I hope the weight of the new rear doesnt set me back in the quarter any. And I must give props to Dynotech driveshafts for their quick and expedient delivery of my MMC alum driveshaft. It was supposed to get to me on thurs/fri but got here today. Dennys had a 2-3 week wait on just finishing the DS then I would have to wait for delivery. I couldn't wait that long because I am moving overseas in less then a month. I had to get this car done and get my speed fix before going overseas for the next 3-4 years.

Stock Driveshaft would work just need a U joint Conversion. I am really not a big fan of mosers center sections so I would purchase from billingsley because they use Strange assembles center sections. If you want to save a little cash I am selling for 9"s right now for $1800. Pm me if interested.

35th SS- wazzup braddah, they sending a local boy to Souda Bay, Crete i'll be one of 8-10 AF guys there.

Waltzfastz- I ordered it from Moser awhile back. I was going with the Strange but I forgot why I went went Moser. I think I waited 2-3 weeks for the delivery of the stuff.
Also the stock DS would have been too short. I just wanted 1350 joints and an alum DS why go beefy in the rear w/ a small DS. Like a Muscle man with small scrawny legs.

Turo- I can live with the Locker and manual. I basically came from a 4X4 family I have a Toyota with 5.29's w/ lockers. A Jeep w/ a Lockers My dads 2 other 4runners got lockers. Basically I think we keep Tractech in business. But I guess for someone that has never driven a vehicle w/ a locker, the locker can throw you around at times and snap clunk bang when coming out of a turn from coasting into it. To me its insurance that it is working. I can tell you this though I dont have enough money in my pockets to break that locker.
