    Ocean Pacific's 4x4

    Sorry I'm a little late to this conversation but you should be fine with those rims. Our lug nuts are tapered so they center it nicely. In other news, I plan on replacing my trans myself very soon. Will keep you posted on that and will most likely have tons of questions once started. As if...

    Front suspension suggestions needed

    Not sure if you found your solution but replace the lower ball joints along with the new UCAs and new struts if they need replaced.

    Ocean Pacific's 4x4

    The rollover actually happened awhile ago. I just was contemplating on whether or not to share it and see if anyone noticed the damage haha. The landing was not hard. Amazingly, none of the windows broke. The only real damage was the mirror. The body has alittle texture now, but nothing too...

    $x4 and Locking Diff question

    If your going to take the time to replace the limited slip clutches/components just put in a locker. Limited-slip will not help you at all with how limited our flex is. Definitely replace bearings while in there. You can get either a automatic locker which are usually cheaper or a selectable...

    Ocean Pacific's 4x4

    haha good observation SUL73NAZ. Will definitely be getting 33's for my next tire. Larger tires with black lettering facing out will look much better. I may even do some work to the chrome part of my rims to give it a darker look, probably not black but gray possibly.

    Testing out the new locker on a pretty tricky part. Tell me what you guys think of this new tire/rim combo.... Let me know if you can play the video, may need to change my settings to public so you can see it.

    Sway Bar Removal

    Your not going to gain too much performance. All it will do is soften up the ride slightly off-road. Attached, it is actually saving your strut from being torn up from the upper A-arm.

    The arms are great. I really push them to the limit on our roads up here, they've taken every abuse I've given them. They also look pretty good :thumbsup:

    Shopping for new tires.

    I run the Grabber at/2 and highly recommend them. Yes, the ride will be alittle rougher. Your ball joints will be fine along with your bearings. If you use an alloy rim, weight wont be too bad. Not sure what kind of driving you do, but its well suited for both on-road/off-road.

    Ocean Pacific's 4x4

    I'm guessing and hoping that modifications wont have to be made. The eBay store told me it was a direct fit but I'm not going to rely on that. So technically the gears should line right up but I'm still going to have a shop check it. However, every shop around here has never worked on anything...

    Yes, 31 spline. I got mine through eBay for $620 shipped. Thats the cheapest I could find.

    Ocean Pacific's 4x4

    At first I was hesitant on purchasing the new arms, but after installing them I'm much happier. They freed up the ride and took the stress off the entire front end. As for the locker, I haven't been able to get it installed yet. Its a selectable made by Auburn for the Ford 8.8 IRS believe it or...
