locker in or locker out for the winter?

[zc911]

Should i leave the rear locker in for the winter or take it out?
I was told it would be easy to spin her around (not on purpose) with it in

[Dxray]

Ya you will end up doing some unexpected donuts. If you leave in, don't give any gas around corners, you might just end up in a ditch.

[SuziCrazy]

I would say to take it out for safer ride.. I know I would

[zc911]

dang :(
guess i am gonna hve to find some open 456s

[TheSarg]

take it out & put it in the front fer when ya git stuck in a ditch all ya gotta dew is lock in yer front hubs and dig out


:beer:

[zc911]

i thought the front and rear are not interchangable?

If you need another 4:56 gear set, I have a good set I would swap for a good Sidekick 5.12 (or 5.13 depending on your math...)

I leave mine in for the winter. Don't get any of the problems you guys talk about unless I push that little button on the dash.:D :D :fa:
Since my zuk is my daily driver, spent the extra on an ARB. Helps out when I want it to, not as a surprise.

hmmm i guess i'll try it out then see how bad it is lol
IT would probably come in handy in deep snow to have both wheels spinning instead of a peg leg burnout lol

DasZuk - I am looking for a front 456, i have spares at home i will check tonight what they are and let you know

I WANT THAT :D

clean out your PMs they are full, i'll pick it up on the weekend if it fits a 1.6l block

[Fullload]

The power steering would be a direct bolt in for the 1.6 block( thats what it originally came with) but the person assures me that he will come through and have me the cash early next week. If not then it is yours.

[zc911]

let me know man i defintaly want it.

I have never had PS in any of my cars, so i wouldn;t mind being lazy for once haha

Lil_beast and I did the conversion last weekend. And crossover as well. Lil_beast hooked me up with one of his steering pump brackets and helped me tremendously ThX bud for all the helpp.
I tell ya for a skinny guy, i think i can live with a bit of fat on my arms.

Wish i had some pics for you all. Maybe i can snap a couple before i get it all fullof mud???

[DasZuk]

As they sit, I've got a pair of 4.56 gear sets on my bench, both are out of the housings, one set (formerly in the rear) has a couple of cracks starting in the pinion teeth, the other one, (out of the front) is in great shape.
When I found the cracks, I didn't want to go wheeling and wait for it to break on the trail, so I pulled them out of the truck, and I haven't found anybody with a cheap used 4.56 set, and just don't have the $$$ to order a new set at the moment...

[zc911]

wanna sell just the front 456?

[Fullload]

Daszuk are you saying that the 456's are an aftermarket gear or is it just a different way of saying it is a 4.62 (auto tracker diff)? If it is an aftermarket gear zc911 the numbers differ too much for you to run a 4.56 in the front and a 4.62 in the rear, unless you buy another aftermarket gear to compensate.

[DasZuk]

What I have are genuine aftermarket 4.56 They are older gears - as in before Richmond Gear shifted production of them to asia and the quality went down the tubes...

In his post zc911 wrote - "dang guess i am gonna have to find some open 456s" thats what I based my reply on...

Gerry

zc911 - I'll PM you with the details...

[DasZuk]

Well, I'd send you a message if your PM box wasn't full, :bang:
Gerry :)

[zc911]

acutally it;s empty, i dunno why i can;t send or recive a PM
email me rob@top-speed.ca

As for the gearing 456 or 462
I have 456 in the rear and unkown in the front lol
So thats why i am looking for a 456 for the front

[gordZuki]

check your sent box ... there is a pull down menu that will send u there ... also check the tracking box it might be full too ..

[zc911]

it was the tracking box :)

[off_your_rocker]

hey i drove my zook welded in the winter for two years. in a way it is good because it is predictable if you know what to look for, you just have to pay a little more attention. as for doughnuts it spins nice and quick so if you do spin it just pin it!:D

[zc911]

ya too much work to swap it out lol :D
i'll leave it in, should i end up backwards in a ditch thats what the winch is there for, and there are plenty of light poles around to winch off of :ro:
