The only picture here bud is how much of a brain dead ------- you are
with your usually useless blowhard rants and advice that will Kill
people, let alone the just plain 'wrong' advice you normally give out.
Why do you even post to Usenet? Do you get your rocks off on the abuse
you get for your total -------- on 'all' the groups you bother?
Do you think you have even one shred of credibility?
I know you always forget that Google.com saves 'all' your -------- posts
so anyone punching in your name can easily see what a total freaking
idiot you are.

Re: Easiest cheapest way to change to 4.11:1
Greg,
I don't know enough about differentials or axles or carriers to
really know what my options are but if I understand what I have read
so far, the problem with my rear axle is that the case ( 3rd
member ? ) is physically to small to hold the larger gears ? If going
with 4.11's can be as simple as eliminating the carrier then I'm
interested in almost anything other than perm posi in the rear. The
wheelbase is so short the *** likes to pass the nose already, with
rear posi on wet / slick roads I would have to teach the wife to drive
it backwards every time it rained or snowed.
Does anyone know if this is an option on the Dana 30/35 ? Would using
a locker of some type to eleimate the carrier allow me to put put
4.11's in my 3rd member ? Is the carrier the problem or are the gears
actually to big for the 3rd member ?
I think what I really need to do is keep my eyes open for a wrecked
Rubi or TJ with the Dana 44's and just buy the whole rig.
I've only found the 3.73 assemblies at the salvage yards so far and
they want $900+ for them... crazy.
