Talking Posi is IN!!!

Just got a call from The Rear End Shop...my posi is DONE!! Only took em' 5 hours to install it, to the tune of $275.
The guy at the shop said I was right, it's a Series 3 Carrier with 3.42 gears. I'll take some pictures of TWO lines of rubber But it might have to wait, until Josh fixes the attachments.

Did you get posi so that you could leave two black marks, or so that you could get traction?

Of course, my truck won't even leave one. On a good day it makes a pathetic squeaking sound when it "launches."

Strangely enough, NOW, it WON'T spin the tires from a roll AT ALL! It just hooks and goes!

Exactly! But with the Eaton now, I have to be CAREFUL when going around a turn, if I even PRESS the throttle, it'll bring the rear end around!
Haha, none of my friends know I got the posi in...but they'll find out tonight, when I drive by them and leave TWO black marks.
Hahah, we're all so Okie, they'll prolly thing I welded my spider gears.

Good to hear you have that project done, Tim. What's next?

I found out today, that my "rebuilt" 12-bolt I paid $1,300 for is trash. Including the housing! Time to start all over.....

I welded the rear end in my samurai this past weekend, but not so I can get traction in the dirt, its great, now I go through places in 2wd it required 4wd to go through, of course, now its really just 3wd.
