Well i'am almost finished with this project, in the video i was running 100wt shock oil, i have switched to 1000wt and there is a great performance gain, the suspension cycles smoother and more controlled , thanks JIA, i'am working on shock postiton still, that's why one is inverted at each corner.
What i need help with is, the rear lock out, i have searched on ralph's , king bling and JIA's cobra's tuber builds and i see his have the stock rear lock out??? help please, any ideas with pics will be greatly appreciated

I would run a link across the rear, then just do it like your steering and mount the link where the stock lockout is mounted.

Thanks , that is the last resort i had thought of , i'am really looking for a one piece solution , like a traingular piece of aluminum that will screw to the three points i need to anchor down, the knuckles to rear end, or maybe a straight knucle adpater, if that makes sense , i want something that looks beefy and nice.

Well if you go with the link lock out put it on the inside of the axle. Might help clean up the looks a bit.

Default Lock outs anyone?

I finally got to make my lock outs for my wk tuber, i love it when i have something that is laying around for some time and it suddenly becomes usefull , i have a bunch of extra parts from power window unniversal kits, and i had some that only need a little grinding and they fit perfectly , lmk what you think.

Nice rig!!! Ryan makes some great tubers. I would get rid of the All-Ts and get some Mashers. They will not spin on those rocks.;)

Oh i know these tires are terrible, i have sets of 2.2 moabs, mashers, dirt hawgs, even geolanders will hvae more traction than any of my imex rubber i own, red rocks, swamp dawgs, hawgs, etc, my main problem is that the stickier tires look to small on my 14" wb:-( , i also have on pre order the new losi and set of axial new compund tires, but even these aren't as tall as the all t , so i'am going with dez's advice and amking some molanders
Thanks for the comments guys

That looks very nice. What about some Axial black chrome beadlocks. I like the tires you have on the truck now.

Man that looks great! Nice rear steer lockouts, good use of "extra" stuff.

But GOD, I hate the sound of the BL setups. I know, I'm a whiner. It is a realy nice rig though.
