Great video thanks

[@troyjackson9740]

Great video sir. I am looking to build something very similar to your truck. 80's era Chevy 3+3 3/4 ton with a 6.0 and 4l80E to a Np205 or 241 T-case. Please keep posting videos and I'll keep watching.

[@Offroadfarm1]

Thanks for watching. I plan and hope to continue making videos. Good luck on your build.

[@tyrelgranger8105]

Nice video order these for my Toyota pickup

[@Offroadfarm1]

Thanks for watching and good luck on your install

[@rangerismine]

I just installed this in a K10. Looking forward to the tractor like traction I about to have.

[@Offroadfarm1]

Awesome! I hope it works great for you. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video, looking for options on my 75 FJ40. Think I'm going with this setup in the rear. I have a current stock LSD, but not working, I'm assuming its worn out. Took it apart, didnt see any damage . Cost a small fortune to rebuild. So thinking of spartan locker.

[@Offroadfarm1]

Thanks for watching. Give the spartan a try, it was a very easy install

[@phantomwalker8251]

toyota lsd,s dont work from factory,there weak.why you got an fj40.?.pre historic rubbish..

[@stuntmantravis84]

@@phantomwalker8251 you are without a doubt one of the dumbest people on the planet. Ask anyone who knows anything about anything and they can tell you the fj40 was one of the best vehicles ever built. Do some research before making yourself look stupid. Now go crawl back in your hole

[@jamesrichardson63]

Important note, the roll pin is maybe a 3/16. I tried using a 5/16" punch because that's how big the hole is. and it was too big. I almost ruined the punch not knowing it. was too big. Use a much smaller punch.

[@Offroadfarm1]

Sorry I should have mentioned that in my video. Thanks for watching

[@wayneC7]

Great video. Why most videos they remove the ring gear? I got stock dana 30 gearing and was able to remove my center pin after removing the locking pin?

[@smashingbass7015]

I have a stock Dana 30 and my pin wouldn't clear the ring gear

[@Offroadfarm1]

Like smashingbass said some people have clearance issues and have to remove it. Other people may be regearing. Thanks for watching

y si tienes que instalar una cuña C como le haces

[@jordanjunker7651]

I'm trying to install a similar ratchet locker in a 12 bolt c-clip axle. How the "F" do I keep the c clips holding the axle in?

[@Offroadfarm1]

The center drivers should have a channel machined into them to allow you place the c-clips. Check out the video.kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3m0e6yKe5ySb8k at 3:10 you can see them install the c-clips using those channels. Thanks for watching

@@Offroadfarm1 yessir. I took a break, attended youtube university and finished it next day.. thanks for the input!

[@Offroadfarm1]

Glad you got it done!

[@shilosheena]

I have same setup but the pin wont fit. its the spacers are too thick, if i assemble on the bence there is a gap all around the pin? what u think

[@Offroadfarm1]

Are you talking about the cross pin? Was this an open carrier? If so, did you remove the thrust washers when you removed both spider gears? If your working on a Dana 60 carrier you must remove those thrust washers. Thanks for watching and let me know if you get it figured out

[@shilosheena]

@@Offroadfarm1 thanks for quick reply my kid mixed up the spacers from the rear kit to the front kit once that figured out it was a no prob install

[@Offroadfarm1]

I am having problems with my Dana 30 yj front. With one piece cheroke axle. Feel scca loked all the time , even in 2vwheel drive. Ate my tires fast. I was told the locker may be out of specs. Have you ever heard of thiis?

[@Offroadfarm1]

It could be the locker. Check out page 9 of this link. completeoffroad.com/files/spartan_locker_installation_instructions.pdf You could jack up the front axle and verify that the locker is disengaging by following those directions. Unfortunately lockers like the spartan (luckbox lockers) are not the best options if you don't have selectable hubs. Especially since you changed to a one piece axle, now there is no disconnect between the front tires. There are locking hub conversion kits available but they are not cheap! Thanks for watching and I hope you get it figured out.

[@juanbarturen2726]

@@Offroadfarm1 Thank you for responding. I have been considering removing the solid Cherokee axle going back to the split axle. I made my disconnect mechanical. I used a heavy stainless steel cable . Worked great. I dont do rock crawling, I just like to explore, and camp. Thank you. I will just miss the greasable seal at the end of the axle. Wont fit the thick 2 piece axle. Oh well

[@ryanpaasch7464]

How durable are they? Thinking about putting in old muscle car 400 hp

[@Offroadfarm1]

My truck isn't finished yet so I can't comment on their durability. But several offroaders use them with out many problems. I couldn't find a HP rating on their website but you could try to contact them, www.usastandardgear.com/ and they may be able to help you out. Thanks for watching

[@ryanpaasch7464]

Thanks for the I formation probably going with this or Detroit locker this is my first choice thanks again for video and info

[@jem5940]

Would you recommend it for daily driving

[@Offroadfarm1]

Plenty of people have these and drive them all the time. Check out this link. www.pirate4x4.com/threads/spartan-lockers-on-a-dd.2585970/ The biggest issue for most people is in rain or snow. If your locker is going in the front then nothing to worry about, just keep your hubs unlocked. If going in the rear then adjust your driving style when the pavement is wet. Thanks for watching!

1.5 1.6???? Wath? Millimetrer?

[@Offroadfarm1]

.145 to .17 inches, I should have clarified that better. Thanks for watching.

Offroadfarm thank’s

[@zereslegion3895]

How put it the axle lock???

[@Offroadfarm1]

I don't understand your question.

[@JoeWalker98]

I will say, the way your using your verniers isnt the best, the pulling out motion without locking them is super easy to jog the jaws slightly and get the measurement off

[@Offroadfarm1]

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching

[@henkaandersson5319]

You need to use Metric . and not this old fachion stones and inches

[@Offroadfarm1]

HA! stones! I do wish there was only one system. I hate having to use standard on some things and metric on other things. The worst is when something has a mix of standard and metric. The metric system is much easier. Thanks for watching!
