Very nice work! I'd like to keep a spare in the vehicle... how is yours secured? Thanks!

 

[Dannyboy]

You get this beast back on the road yet? Also what's up with the "square driveshaft" is that just a garage fabber's way of doing it on the quick?

 

[JTX]

Google the square driveshaft mod. Alot of rock crawlers are doing it now, its way stronger and can extend twice as long. Only problem is it doesnt balance well.

I still havent got it fixed yet. I just bought a Trans Am so its got me occupied right now. lol

why is your name in yellow?

 

[JTX]

I hacked the forum. They still haven't realized it though. lol

 

[Premier]

[Burns]

Ok Question:


How much room do you need to turn around?

 

[JTX]

I have no idea Burns, lol... How come? I'd go try but the ex is torn apart, AGAIN!!

 

[Burns]

Well i want to to lock my front full time with a welder lol and need to see if i can still turn it around.


I want to do it to run a new mud bog i have not been to. Im open all around now

 

[JTX]

Its easy man, you just unlock the hubs and bam, back to stock. Or just unlock one hub. I may sell my mini spool, let me know if you want to got that route. Its a good starter for the welding. lol

 

[Burns]

Im just going to try the welding. If I like it Ill go full spool. Im not a big fan of the minis.


I have one for my 9" and have not put it in because I was told the tire wear gets worse

 

[rookieshooter]

Let us know when you get it back together. Love to see some action pics.
