 Rear end optionsMy third member grenaded last year. Want to get my ride back on the road. Mostly street driven, some 4x4. Probably looking at a limited slip.
At what amount of abuse is a 31 spline a good idea? What vendors do you suggest for a complete 3rd member? How different is a $900 chunk from speedway motors, compared to $1700 from wild horses? |

Re: Rear end options Just my two cents but if I were driving mine "mostly on the street," I'd call this guy ...

Re: Rear end options I would be cautious using limited slip on the street. With both rear wheels turning in snow, the ride gets a little squirrelly. If you're looking for mostly street and mild off-road, open carrier would do fine and save you money too.
Mickphatmac is pointing you in the right direction with the CL ad. That guy has helped several club members. |

Re: Rear end options I too wouldn't buy brand new unless you're making a show truck. So many used options out there for way cheap.
