I've decided that i'm going to install my new GBR gears, axles, and lockers myself.
Installing the new 3rd member is basically, unbolt the old diff, clean the mating surface, apply RTV, bolt up/torque on the new diff assembly, and install the new shafts. Plane and simple, right?
here's what concerns me. Where to put the mini compressor (i've heard behind the headlights is a good spot)? What's the best rout to run the air lines?
Any pics would be greatly appreciated, and if there's any advice you guys want to give me, i'm all ears. I'm gonna start reading up on the compressor the next few days when i have time (still taking finals and finishing a 10pg project:ack: )
I've done all the work on my truck so far, so i figured why pay some J**p shop lot's of money to work on my Rover wondering if they even know what they're doing. I'm sure I could find a shop that would do a good job, but will they have a manuel to torque things down properly? stuff like that concerns me... and the fact that I had a shop here build me a custom bumper that turned out to be a nightmare, so that wasn't a good experience.
