1989 4cyl 4runner, 30 inch general grabber ap's, stock.
I founda cheap 3rd member and I welded it up, stuck it in today, DAMN.
is it supposed to feel like im dragging something? especaily in a un-powered turn, it doesnt coast so good!
I cant wait to get it offroad, going to Disney,OK this weekend, and I did this to hopefully keep from getting winched the entire time, and also because im unemployed, and didnt have much to do.
I checked air pressure in tires and 30 in one, and 32 in other, Ill equalize that and see how the chirp is then, it seemed pretty bad before, But now I understand what everyon has said about give it gas in a turn, thats counter intuative but it quiets it down.
I welded with a stick, and 7018 rod, welded the 8 places where the gears mesh, then on each gear made (2) 1/2 inch tacks to the carrier case, then cit some 1/4" plate in a rectangle, laid it over the gears, welded it to each tooth, and tacked the corners to teh case.
It was a BEAR getting all those BBs out, thats the last time I welded one with a Stick I think.
I plan to change the diff oil a few times, and it has a magnet on the drain plug, so hopefully that will get the BBS.
now my big concern, is there any way to know how long its goingto holdup?
IM taking my 5 year old son with me to Disney Sat, and its a 1.5 hour drive, Id rather not break down!
if I drive around town and burn the crap out of my tires, am I testing it, r weakening it?
thanks for listening, sorry its soo long.
