Probably not going to switch to 4.77, I dont want to mess with the rear right now if I dont have to. ($$$$$)
I am looking at the aussie locker for the front with the manual hubs, probably the Aisin based on the reading here on the forum and some input from Jack. It looks like I will be making a pretty big order from Independent4x! What have you decided to do with yours?
And yes it was total mush in there. I put a magnet in there and pulled out something that looked like the meteor on that movie Armageddon! I dont think there was anything left to make noise.
