Lockers and gears install - I need a referal

[Woodscaper]

I have finaly gathered all my parts for front and rear lockers, ring and pinions, overhaul kits and new rear shafts. Is there a shop or mechanic among us that I can feel confident about tacking my Bronc to for a fair price? Any recomendations would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like a perfect tech day. Install in a 9in is super easy. the front is a little more in depth with the need for a press. I just went through and geared my 79. All in all pretty easy.

Crawlercreations has offered to host a class on this, but if you don't want to wait until that gets set up I'm sure he would do it for a reasonable price, shot him a PM and see if he has time, it'd be cool to keep it in our group.

[Woodscaper]

Yea, it would be a good reason to get together and meet some you, I'm anxious to do it but at the same time I would really like to know how its done first hand so in the future I might be able to do it. Besides I want it done right the first time, even if I have to wait a bit longer.

hEY kINDER, any word from Crawler? I pm'ed him and have'nt heard back. I'm starting to get ants in my pants to get the work done.

Has anybody used COLORADO AXLE & GEAR off of 64th & Fedral ?

Anybody have another suggestion ?

I have read several posts on here saying they aren't having success with the PM function for some reason..........if crawler lists his email you might try that

If that doesn't work out, I would highly recommend All American 4 wheel drive in Littleton (Sante fe & 470) @ 303 470 0286. Tell Steve that Jeff Warn referred you so I can get some more SWAG from them

Hey jts. Please email crawlercreations@gmail.com.

@Roxcrusher....I used to work for All american 4x4. How do you like them? I assume pretty well since you are recommending them but I am just curious.

what little work they have done for me has been great including some freebies like pressing ball joints in, etc

they did a tranny for my friend for about 2/3 what the other guys had quoted him, even went down to COS and picked it up for him from Midas at no charge

great customer service

I went to All American about five years ago and thought it was good service. I had just purchased my bronco about a year before and just wanted them to check things out and had them put the rear leaf springs on for me. Someone on Classicbroncos.com was asking for a shop a couple of years ago. I refered All American and soon after there was a lot of lashing out from other members as to how bad they were. I haven't used them since (got more tools and ability to work on the bronco myself) but I have heard good and bad things about them.

I'd be up for a tech day or something like that with crawler. I know the Ford 9" is an easy diff to work on but I also want to work on the Dana 44 and am not sure about that one.

Thanks Jason for the install. Everything seems to be good. I'm going to get them wired up today and burn through the 500 mile break-in period so we can trail test them

[crawlercreations]

I am glad to have met you and can't wait to see that thing wheeling! Let me know how you like the lockers when you get them plumbed and wired in! I guess it is getting to be time to get another trail run in! Keep an eye on the staging area and let us know when you have reached the break-in point!
