To add a little context to the OME springs, ARB has always spec'd them at 0.5" lift but here in the US we have always seen about 2" of lift. The reasoning behind that that I have always believed is that the US spe R50's sit lower than the australian R50. so the lift realized here in more. Not sure how true that is but it's what made sense from years ago here on the boards. Despite the lift numbers on the box, NPORA has always reported actual lift height of about 2" with OME springs.

I'm familair with them! *Shcoker* I've been running one for about 8 years. It will charge near 14.8 volts at start up but settle around 14.6 after a few minutes. It's a big help with keeping AGM batteries charged. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Am I remembered around these parts? not sure.. I'm starting ot hit the forums alittle as I have things to share but we'll see how it goes.. Today I'm popping in to share some tech on 2 way radios that are common in the off-road desert racing space on VHF here on the west coast. The same pricipals apply for other radios as well, but the math in the video would need to be tweaked. I hope someone learns something from this here: Your radio doesn’t actually suck, but your antenna system can probably use some help. Here is the first video in a 2 part antenna system series where I attempt to simplify the importance quality coax, antennas, antenna setup and tuning. The results are quite drastic. These videos are just a quick hiatus while the KRX is getting geared up for more demos and lowrance tech testing. For 110-Watt coax calculations, pause the video at 4:40. Please comment below the vide on YouTube with any questions you may have and don’t forget to subscribe! Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=598Z5J22pzo

lol thats what we were thinking.

Hi Guys, Yes it was found with about $2k - $3k worth of stuff gone. I appreciate everyone that was part of helping find it. the work of this spread like wildfire on social media and we found it the same day I realized it was gone. My wife and I just moved to a new place over the weekend, with a garage which is where it will be kept moving forward. I have downsized from having shop space to just an office for a bit, and we has been in apartment, just trying to save money and in hopes of buying a house here in CA (wish us luck.. lol) But it's good to have a garage with a place to keep the pathy and have a place to tinker. Insurance money is covering most of what is gone, and I have a bit of work ahead of me. but it'll get there.

Just get some weld in bungs, DOM Tubing and a couple Heim joints. A a fab shop shuld be able to ship one up for you pretty quickly.

I'm actually not sure if the 33-spline split carrier exists.. atleast in the US. I've never seen one. I just looked in FAST WD22 & R50, it only lists 2-pin Carrier and LSD. However I did just do some digging in FAST and found 2 piece/4-pinion open carriers in the late 90's patrols, which are likely 33-spline but it's hard to say for sure. I have thought that the Just Differentials listing was a mistake but there is still a small glimmer of hope that it's true overseas.

Hi Guys, There is some good axle shaft info in this thread! It's good to see that in depth tech info is still being shared on this forum. As far as the locker goes, Just Differentials is the only ones that lists the lockright for the 33 spline diff. Following the tech note, I don't see why it wouldn't work with the 4 pinion case. However in my experience the 33-spline side gears in a 4-pinion case are pretty rare. I'm used to seeing LSD's or single piece 33-spline carriers. Also just a side note, I'm having Revolution Gear & Axle make H233B gears 5.57 and 5.89. in both standard and reverse rotation. These ratios were previously available through Nissan but only in standard rotation. Having the reverse rotation gears will now allow for patrols to have more gearing options as well as open up more gearing options for SAS rigs.

If you out out of the supercharger it's dead simple Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

What axle are you using? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I wouldn't cut it down. The diamond axle under my truck is 64" wide . It's a good width and should be easier to work with with more axle tube exposed Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I know that the R50 guys have been using the OME springs to get about 2" of lift even though they are spec'd at 0.5". OME does have a rear spring part number of #2920. Does anyone here have personal experience this this spring? are they getting .75" ? or maybe more? A good deal awaits to anyone willing to take a change and experiment. Ph:909-547-4651

I'm not sure which admin to contact, can someone address this issue? thanks!

Thanks! Here are the pics that I took during the event: http://gallery.ruggedrocksoffroad.com/v/GoneMoab2015/

Ha the Moab one should be entertaining. I'm thinking I may be on the next episode.
