rear end swap.. from 3.31's to 4.10's
first off i'd like to thank Roddy (Chris) for all his help and swapping out the rear end of my car... i had replaced my stock 7.5 for a better 7.5
the new one has 4.10 gears, T-Lok and aluminum race girdle....

i have been waiting for 1 1/2 months to get this swapped out and since it wasn't happening Roddy was nice enough to offer swapping out the rear for me.. obviously this was an offer i couldn't refuse..

Swap went great and I am very happy with the outcome...
I will post pictures up later...

I had to come into work today so I haven't checked out the camera yet... hopefully the pics turned out..

Why didn't you just swap for the 8.8"?

I guess you really can't go wrong with all the goodies on the new 7.5"

Waiting for pics.....

Cool stuff!!!!
Lets see how long your tires last.....:biggrin:
Pretty easy swap too eh,especially on newer cars cause nothing had time to seize up yet.
Anyways,congrats.I know you've been waiting for some time now to get that thing in.
