Was sitting up at Slingas work shop last night with with Slinga and Bad_Raligion_au and come up with the idea of fitting one of those Lokka auto lokkas into an old 60 centre around 11:30pm started working on it at 11:45 and had it fully installed by 12:15 (30mins) eeeeeaaasyyyy

This isnt for my truck...we were just board sh$tless ;D

when do you want to do it? i'll give you a hand no worries. mine won't be in for the diff swap for a little while yet... plans have changed AGAIN ;D, so i've got plenty of free time till my "stock" from melbourne arives

[Gumby]

No worrys :D Ill let you know..

I just picked up a new loom and new switches for the lockers and Brad is getting all the new pinion seals gaskets plus he allready has the front diff kit from when he was going to do his

The rear looks to be easy from when i seen you doing it the other day but i think the front going to be a big messy job.

Cheers ill let you know

[Gumby]

Ok...Ive started to wire up the new switches and dash mount them but im not sure if im happy with the compresser switch being away from the locker switches.

Ill work that out later.

As far as the pump goes i may have to mount it in the rear quarter unless i find a new home for my washer bottle cos i have zero room in the engine bay

Wiring up the switches

DAMN! Lookin fine. :D

[peteon2wheels]

what lift is that? and what size tyres? ive got a 3inch body lift and 33s, but my front springs are stuffed. I have another 60 spare now (bought it for the engine to go in my brothers 60) and the springs in that are ok, but no lift on them. Im thinking i might just put those springs in with longer shackles and blocks under the pins. So, what lift di you get cause i want mine like that :)

[boof]

Looks Great

Sorry mate i wish i could help but i got the springs from mudslinger second hand...the rears are 4'' lift i think but im not sure about the front and im running standard shackles

The tyres are 33X12.5X15

Any more questions just ask ;)

Ok ive started the change over on the diff centres with the air lockers in them.

Getting the locker ready to place into diff housing

Getting the housing ready to take the locker
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/Gumbys/PIC_0296.jpg

Washed out the hubs, repacked the bearings and through in new seals
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/Gumbys/PIC_0297.jpg


You will notice all the oil all over the shock on the drivers side, that was from a blown pinion seal but i left it until i changed the centre and put a new seal in
Put a new seal in the back of the transfer aswell.

Next will be the big job of putting the front air locker in but that can wait a few weeks i think...A job for bad_religion ;)

Cheers for the help Slinger ;)

[Gumby]

Ok, a few people have asked what the go is with setting up remote diff breathers, well ive done mine today so ill share a few pics for those who arent sure what the go is.




First i got some fuelline to suit the size fittings on the diffs, also a T-peice and a few clamps, i forgot to get the filter the lines will plumb to.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/Gumbys/PIC_0310.jpg

Here is a pic of the standard breather

Standard line removed
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/Gumbys/PIC_0311.jpg

This is where the new line connects to the standard diff breather fitting
