Anything with the 8.1L will have the 10.5 FF, and some 6.0 w/ heavy suspension config. the 9.5 is an OK unit, but the GovLoc is always suspect. Solution? stick a Detroit in there right? new problem is now you're apt to snap one of those spindly axles with all the weight on the bearing journal and have it slide right out of the housing while the pre-rangers and HH6 hand on to the O.S. handles for dear life! No, for what you want to do, and just how you are in general, you need the full float housing. If Duane's falls through, and you can't seem to find one locally, let me know, I've got a guy in PA that is kinda like Norm and just buys up scads of military surplus housings. Read lots of full float 14 bolts with 4.56 gears and lockers sittin on a pallet waitin for the day they get to play with uncle Don. Oh, and your 9.5 in the H2 survived because it was an eaton electric locker and not a GovLoc. Much less mickey mouse little parts to fail and cause carnage.
At least it will be easy to setup!
Not the current square bodies, but the Dmax yes and in the front this last weekend up in Reno!I have done memory foam on camping trips, but now I go air mattress. Plus you actually gain room as you store it when not in use.So on your block. You pulling it to build or getting a new block? No rush/downtime if you go new or used block.

You've confirmed my suspicions, again.I've been checking Craigslist and FB marketplace. A couple 14 bolt have come and gone, one with a 3.73, and another with an unheard of 3.07!

A couple 14 bolt have come and gone, one with a 3.73, and another with an unheard of 3.07!The 3.07 is likely either a calculation error or a 9.5 and the seller doesn't understand the difference between full and semi float axles. 3.21 is the tallest configuration the 14t 10.5 ever offered. If you find a prospect you want me to vet, just shoot me a text on the specs and I'll do my thang for ya.
Those look good, nice job. Was wondering about the slides which I see you built.Does the bottom of the drawer sit flush? IE it doesn't break with stuff bouncing over the KIA's and mulch
No. It’s more like trex decking. Recycled plastic and epoxySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Recycled plastic and epoxySent from my iPhone using TapatalkNot as completely indestructible as some would have you thinkI have decks and walkways made of the stuff and I have to get after it regularly. It does not split and crack, but it does warp and cup. Fades as well. I spray it every year with a wood preservative and it does OK. Now, having said that, should I have built with wood, my decks would have been toast by now. Have built many of them and they do not last like the composite stuff. Recycled plastic and ground up wood (read: Sawdust like consistency)
I certainly approve of the color combo:thumbSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looks good, red sure jumps out at you. I’ve been wondering if you couldn’t have just bought some inexpensive roller bearings and used them versus the wood slides?
Not if they are quiet and tight. Pre-04 I've seen go past 200k, depending on climate and use. I don't know what they did after that, but pretty sure they used the same grease, but not as much...they start sounding dry (ticking) in as few as 50k in my experience. The new timkens do the same .
Carry a spare hub. Not that hard to change just make sure you have the socket. What 34mm?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
So how do they fit and what locks/latches?I like the trialready a little more. ARB you are paying for the name. Price diff?I agree on the hubs too, if tight, why bother.
Doesn't Bear make custom bumpers?
