Well, this past Saturday, Res and I did some work to my truck after trapsing through the j/ys, as always Mark found something to buy. We installed the Lock-rite in the rear axle and tried to do the LSD for the front. I say tried because everything was going smooth until...... we went to install the stub shafts on the housing. yep wouldnt you know the LSD was for a 25 spline axle and I have 27 splines. after a few choice words and some modifying to the jeep next to us (ok we didnt do that, but wanted to, it would have made us feel better) we put the original carrier back in. well half way in. I want to thank Res for his help this weekend, for driving 3 hrs each way on his busy schedule with AZ Run IX on its way. Res you truely are 1 in a million friend. "kudos"

will post some pics a little later.

We have some pics, too. I will post them when I get a chance. Specter put the camera somewhere, and he is in bed, now.

bout time!!, got the lift on yet?

Yeah, it's lifted. Looks good, too.

well, got an email back from Calmini, unfortunately they do not carry the LSD for the R180 any more but will accept the part back with a 100% store credit.

I guess there will be an R200 in the future, maybe I will swap it for that one. things that make you go, "hmmmmmm":woot_jump:

Will they swap even-up for an R200 LSD?

100% store credit!

:tooth: Duh! nevermind.

well, have to package up the LSD and ship it back to them. there's a difference of $50 between the two LSDs, so as soon as they receive it they are going to call me and send it out to me. I'm guessing its for shipping which is cool. just need to get the R200 and halfshafts. Res, you said you made hybrid axles right? do you have pics?

anyone up to help out? going to reinstall the original R180 this wknd (14th) and reset the gears in the rear to get rid of the whine

I can do it myself but assistance is always appreciated.
