    thats half a turbo diff!! and still only 2 pinion.

    trutrac is the go but a bit pricey.. but as stated it will make it strong as an ox

    If and when I ever need to get the tru trac id upgrade it to 31's and invest in the billet axles too for about 1900 supply and fit....or you could go a 9'' 31 spline conversion which would set u back 3k or there about....yikes

    but do you really think 31 splines will be necessary for your application though ?
    I mean it takes a fair bit of hp and/or harsh activity like burnouts etc to break a 28 spline axle. Only time I've really heard of them snapping is guys who run spools, which is hard on any axle.

    And a 9 inch..... I wouldn't go there unless you absolutely needed it. Lots of unsprung weight and they take more hp to drive

    yeah the 28's are good...but the price between the 28's and the 31's is only $100 and for that price would you consider running the 31's?? I know I would...cheap insurance I guess.

    Dan, I was goin to go the BW initially but I decided against it as I couldn't be F'd changing the tailshaft at the time so I stuck with Sals

    finally got the gear set replaced.
    they also found that my limo was a ticking time bomb when they removed it...an M shaped retainer (not sure on technical term) was come away from the limo and lodged into the gear set and snapped the tooth.

    New gear set and a Cig locker(not permanent). Now to wait a bit before I can get a harrop limo...

    Ill post up pics of the pinion and lsd shortly

    Had the front springs, shocks, and strut caps replaced and raised to the superlow height as I only had 60mm ground clearance from the the exhaust and 85mm clearance from the chassis rail....couldnt even get a small trolley jack under it lol.

    My holley fuel pump shat itself...i was half a km away from autobarn and went there to get a new one but they had no stock so on the tilt tray it went...what a piss off lol

    Ive got my bonnet moulds ready to fit.
    Ive got new ignition barrel and door locks to fit as I cant find my spare keys and some filthy scum thieves broke into my house took a couple of laptops too

    Going to have get a dog from my mate to put in the yard...it wont be kid friendly so itl be tied up when the kids are out playin around...its a dog that are legal in usa but not here if u catch my drift lol

    Yeah I like em, a rotti was my first dog. He had bad hips, arthritis and passed with bone cancer. I dont like how u cant dock their tails anymore.
    I have been lookin at mastiffs aswell...i think that will be the choice as I want tje kids to interact with it too, oh and I need something big enough to tow me on my skateboard down to the bottle O for a longneck haha

    Damn son, you got some anger! Totally justified by the sounds though. Can I suggest a nice discreet electric cap on your fencing? Done it to a few people's houses on top of fences like the stratco "good neighbour" fences. Looks like happy family fence but is 7 foot high do ya can't see over and when they try to peak they get a kick in the arse!
