    Ian - I think you are on the righ track. My boat builds have always used more resin than I thought they would. Making sure you do not create a "starved" joint, or bond is essential tot he process... one starved spot and the integrity of the piece becomes vulnerable... so what that means is do...

    You might have better luck putting it in the "vehicles for sale" section and also include a price, location, etc... Nice rig.

    Thanks boll rig! I love the pop top you are doing. I have built a few plywood boats over the years and I can feel your pain on working with that much fiberglass... I am really enjoying learning about the rig and getting it ready for a spring and summer of good times. There is much to be done...

    Lock Right installed, amidst some turmoil because I am totally unfamiliar with drum brakes, as you maybe read in a previous post. I spent a good part of last night looking up tutorials on drum brakes and got it all straight, I think anyway. Came via fed ex bought from Just Differentials, on...

    So I am working on the lock rite install. I am having trouble getting the axle shafts to slide far enough out to get the spider gears out. Even though I released the parking brake (separated where the front cable meets the back cable) the wheels are hard to spin and while I got them to go in...

    Introduction and 1st of MANY ?'s

    I'll chime back in. I am a newbie to Burbs so I may get corrected here and that is okey dokey with me. I did not mean anything bad about the 350 (5.7). They seem durable if taken care of, are pretty basic and parts seem cheap. I suppose you could always find someone to work on it no matter...

    Introduction and 1st of MANY ?'s

    Well - I started my journey with the exact vehicle you are describing late last year . You can read through my thread and it might answer some of your questions, but here is some of my take. - The 350 does seem a bit underpowered for the Burb - if you plan to tow anything with some weight to...

    From everything I can figure (I am new to the GM world of vehicles), this 9.5 sf rear axle has no limited slip. The information stickers that would show if it had the G80 are no longer present. I can say there is clearly no functioning LS in this axle :) You are correct, that if I am wrong...

    Actually found a lock right for $390 at http://www.justdifferentials.com/default.asp that comes with a 2 year warranty and had free shipping, no tax. Advance would charge tax which pushed the purchase up to $408. In addition to that I was having trouble with Advance's online purchasing. So...

    I ran a spartan in my cherokee a few years back. Install was simple and performance flawless... I have not been able to find a Spartan for the GM 14 bolt 9.5 though. The lock right looks to be the same basic product. I did see I can order a lock right from Advance auto, and with their on line...

    Thanks Justcuz. The install looks reasonable and I will probably be heading that route. I am open to other input as well.

    1991 Suburban 2500

    So researching lockers today. With my 9.5 SF 14 bolt I am considering 2 options for this: 1. Detroit Locker - Roughly $650 + install. I cannot install this one myself, but am well familiar with the legendary Detroit locker durability. I have to assume $1000 total for this. 2. Lock Right -...
