Good luck with the headlight conversion. I'd see if VisionX planned on comming out with anything. Here was the previous comparison I saw and didn't really come away impressed. Perhaps another mfg. may have a better setup. Quote: FJNewb previously said: Here is a comparison. Not really sure what you mean about quality light vs. quantity?

You can engage the locker in 4H with a simple jumper wire mod. Do a search. HTH, Sean

PM'ed you Frank, but you can test the front locker without any stress by putting all four corners of the truck securely up on jack stands or a lift, starting the truck, and put the transmission in neutral. Rotate one front tire by hand; on an auto tranny model it will have no effect on the other front wheel. Shift the transfer case into 4-high, and rotate one front tire again; now the opposite front tire should rotate in a direction...

I guess I just chimed in because worry a little when people start looking at suspension characteristics like flex as some sort of end-in-itself, rather than a means-to-an-end.

No, you can use the stock differential and axle housing. The ARB air locker just replaces the stock ring gear carrier.

If you are in 4 lo all the driving aids are off. What you are describing is just how an open diff works. Do you have a rear locker? how about A-TRAC? With both of those on you should have all 4 wheels going.

Vision X should pay me for as much as I talk about their lights. I have a bunch of their lights. None of them were damaged in the wreck, so they will all be going on to the new rig when it gets here in a couple weeks. I put a lot of mods and money into the Fungi Finder, and without question, their lights are my favorite modification. On the FF, I had a 22" Xmitter (single stack), and ...

Also just an FYI. Not sure how many have seen the fitting they use on the 08's for the transmission, but here it is. Slightly different than the breather that they used on the 07 models.
