Yea all I'm thinking is that I really need to Regear soon and get a locker back there. And I don't want to drop $1500 on something I'm just going to have to replace in a yr or two. Mainly don't want to truss/custom link/gear and then find out that it was all for nothing and then have to swap it all out for the 8.4 and then built that axle. I'm just trying to save some cash by not swapping in the tundra rear axle at all.

I'd say 90% of the broken ring and pinions happen on the 8" rear. It just doesn't happen all that often to the 8.4, so why not do it right the first time.

That's the info I wanted to hear. I may just do the rear Regear and spool for now until I get around to do the whole rear axle.

I'm with them ^^^ I got sick and tired of blowing ring gears (I never blew a pinion). I am very happy with my 8.4 w/ARB so far!

See if you can get a hold of Prerunner Seth over on TW or FJcruiserforums.....he's close friends with the owner. Know who I'm talking about?

Prerunner Seth? Is he native to Houston? Bakerla and I installed his lift for him

Hopefully my 8.4/Detroit will last on the highway.

Regarding Sierra and Yukon merging. IIRC Yukon is Randy's Ring and Pinion and if they merged its all Yukon now.

Agree. But on the flip side, for someone who is a friend/ TOR member (synonymous really), I'll work on they're truck almost any hour day or night. And if I'm not there, I'll still let them come over and use my tools and driveway space.

I'm with you there. I have a circle of friends out in Morning Glory that can count on me and I can count on them if we need help. Funny but most of them were found helping others on their rides.
