Pretty much like the title says. I've been looking all around for most of the winter and I can't find one anywhere. The main reason I wanna do this is to save money, and I don't trust myself. Rangerpaulo (I believe) sold me a D35 diff with gears and a locker already installed. $380 shipped to my place. If I could get a deal like that on an 8.8 I would be so happy :yahoo:

Heres what I'm looking for:
1: 8.8
2: ...with 4.56s
3: ... and a locker
4: Preferably in Canada or close-ish to Canada (Northern states?) so I can ship it here/drive to get it if its close
5: I really only need the center part with all the goodies in it :D (28 spline so I can just swap out the center parts. I have axles and everything already)

I know this is kinda a tall order (hence me not finding anything) but please help me out. If this doesn't work I will try to set up a diff myself but then I will have to buy gears locker install kits etc and I don't know how long it will be until I can afford that. And having a already set up D35 just sitting there while my truck is just begging for 4.56s is driving me crazy Haha

Thanks guys, chance to upgrade! :icon_welder: :icon_thumby:

P.S. I'll offer like a $50 finders fee if anyone finds me something that meets those requirements for a good price that I end up buying

P.P.S. Mods I know this should really be in Want To Buy but I've been there with no luck, and everyone checks out General Discussions. All I want is the power and fuel economy that will come with 4.56s! Is that too much to ask? I'm naught but a poor boy! Haha, Seriously tho if you gotta delete this can I just have a week? A week in the spotlight before my dreams are crushed and I have to drop the dough and skill (which I lack) on setting up a diff myself. Thanks!
 
I looked for while and gave up, ended up building it myself, so far so good...
 
I have a broken finger that I'll sell you.

Will that work?
 
What are you willing to pay? I could be pursuaded to part with mine, but that means I'd have to build a new rear axle...

Axle - $200
Gears - $250
Locker - $600
Riddler cover - $100
(all bearings and seals were replaced when built, axle has 45k on it)

....make me an offer, worst I can do is refuse.

Hmm. This is tempting. Is this the 31 spline one that you have listed in your siggy? I'm assuming its been all rangerized. Like the tabs and stuff? I'm not too educated about the 31 spline swap. But if it is then your talking about drum to drum (disk to disk? Haha). I dunno even whats reasonable after 45,000km. Umm $600? I wouldn't need to cover you could keep that.

Also, 99RangerKrazy. I will keep that in mind!

adsm08: I'll give you my buggered up knee and shattered ego for 2 broken fingers?
 
It's the one in my sig, fully rangerized and ready to bolt it.....I'll do some $$$ checking tomorrow and see if I can come up with a cost on my other diff and get back to ya.
 
Ok sweet, I can come pick it up and everything if that makes a difference, and you can keep the cover. I can find my own. This would be sweet! 31 splines and everything. I'm going to Alberta for easter so that would work nicely
 
I'd take that trade if I didn't live on the second floor of a building with no elevator.

Xbox is my therapy at the end of the day, it's my LT finger...:bawling:
 
DWEANO!
I'm in BC. If you pay to get it shipped from Washington, my parents are coming out here and going back to SK sometime at the end of this month. Just a thought...
 
Hmm...thanks bud I will look into that! ARB is an air locker is it not? Or do they make non air lockers as well?
 
I would imagine they make other ones as well... but I haven't looked into it. Although, I haven't heard of anything other than an ARB Air Locker, so who knows!
