Vegablade Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'll start looking for a spare diff to weld up. Anyone got an extra I can buy? I'm more concerned about my tires. Kevin is right. Unless your Wildcats are way bald you should be fine. I ran a set at like 60% down LowerMainline once and they did fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirzick Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 What is the minimum lift you would be okay with tagging along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subruise Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 its been done on a 2" lift and welded rear diff. expect damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegablade Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 What is the minimum lift you would be okay with tagging along? Yeah a 2" is about minimum. You could do it without but we would probably have to tow you through most obstacles. I ran a 2", 27s and welded diff for quite a while, smashed my doors, rockers, hatch, rear quarters, bumpers and others. Nothing major but definitely wont look the same after a trip or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthCoast Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 How 'bout a pic from today when they're clear and not caked in mud? Walker isn't a mud pit like the top of Ricky J's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegablade Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) http://i.imgur.com/a2IG4l6.jpg Here's one from the snorkel install. Pretty recent. You should do ok. There is only one spot on timber tamer that i can think of off the top of my head where you may need a little speed and some throttle. But that all depends on the weather too. But like Kevin said, Walker isn't mud bogs and deep pits. Mostly just muddy hard packed trails with tree and rock obstacles. Have you looked through some of our run pics on here or even my facebook? They give you a pretty good idea of what to expect. Most of the big hard stuff has bypasses too.

wagonryan Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Im so stoked guys! I keep watching all the NWWO vids on youtube. I just have a few little things to get done before next week. I finally made a skid plate! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 a skidplate is much cheaper than an engine.Even if it does reduce ground clearance slightly its much less nerve racking driving with a skidplate on because you don't have to be super extra watchful of the front end.

NorthCoast Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 South Enders... Meet at Safeway on Canyon near 512 @ 6:30 and leave @ 7? 512 to 167 to 405 to I-5 is easier on some of the cars than taking I-5 all the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1208 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Marcus I'll be over at your house at 6:15. That safeway is about 20-25 minutes away from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
