my gen I only has four. does the gen III have more? is it hard to remember? Although my jeep only has two for lockers, and I sometimes have to tell myself, "right - rear. so the left one must be front.". OK. got it... not trying to be a jerk, just curious?

good thought. it’s pretty decent metal in shear, but your point is taken. i’ll fire up the welder today. those plates are just mild stell zinc coated, right? just grind it clean and fire it off?

affirm. two kits. the super ninja rock-star kit with the doubler plates is also available. but i didn’t do that. :)

that’s cool. go right ahead. ok with me. :-)

must do performance mod. if you have to ask why, don’t worry about this one. totally embarrassing ford didn’t do this from the factory to save a couple bucks. helpful hints: - take swaybar off at frame. 15mm bolts. everything else can stay together. - have fresh, sharp drill bits and a...

will go fast. guaranteed. good price. borderline great price. as an aside. my 2011 with 140k still runs hard and burns ZERO oil.

So his truck didn’t have the ELD stock? Can he just give that axle plug 12v (perhaps from aux switches) and have fully manual lockers? this seems like a bonus.

i’m not going to do all the homework. but rock auto is a great resource. go on there and see if the PNs for the calipers, brackets, rotors, etc… are the same. “don’t fit” is very vague. rotor holes don’t line up? holes too small? what is actually going on? there should also be a gear ratio...

modified dovetail. reused factory trim. with rerouted rear exhaust. stand by for bed-mounted tire carrier fab project.

I’ve found there as very few problems a little jerry reed can’t make better.

with all respect... they may be out there, but I’ve never heard what I consider a good sounding aftermarket exhaust on an EB 3.5. ive heard many people SAY their EB 3.5 sounds great. But I’ve never actually heard one that sounds great. best of luck in your quest. and keep us posted. :-)
