Also, next large purchase on the list are front and rear ARB air lockers. Mainly because there isn't an SR, running or not, around here for about 1000 miles.
I get confused on which axle/diff I do have in this one. It's not the locking diff, just the open diff. So I have the smaller one, which is an 8.5 right?
Also, are there any worries about the IFS and a front locker? I know in a lot of other models of truck, there are worries about IFS ripping itself apart because the wheels try to pull in different directions due to different flex positions and the conditions at the time. I've had Monteros for a while, and I gotta say, this front end is one of the strongest I've seen, and even stronger than some solid axle front ends.
