I offer the MSD ultimate wideners that you can use with the blackfoot stubs or the AE stubbs too. Very affordable!"thumbsup"

I put bearings in the axles, so i used the brass bushings as spacers..just had to thin them down a little.

I got three axles drilled out to accept the hex pins, but the third one ate my bit! Ended up filing a panelling nail to fit.

If anyone uses the ASSociated 3/16" axles, make new hex pins and save yourself the trouble of drilling into that hardened axle stuib!

so would a set of 12mm increase 12mm overall, or 24mm? my assumption is 12mm

So......Whats the answer? Anyone, Bueler???

12mm will widen you 12mm overall, approx 1/2" "thumbsup"

5150bronco 04-04-2007 06:38 PM


So Art, I finished putting the blackfoots on....they look cool and a bit wider....

I just went to orchard and bought some nylon spacers for the wheel spacers/wideners and they worked out great...

thanks for the advice and here is an update...

Missed you at the comp too.....

later.

Stormin2u 05-18-2007 08:37 PM

Everything in moderation
 
I think I'll go for a little wide to start with.

moonbuggy 05-18-2007 10:34 PM

sooo........ not to be a jerk but this picture really souldn't be used for reference other than seeing what the wideners look like, because the pivots aren't lined up and since some of the shots look like they were shot with a horribly fish-eye lens so the perspectives are all different.......... (my lines are drawn vertically from the bottom axle)

infernox 10-24-2007 12:29 AM

cool thanx, does the copper bushings not promote slip?

crash 01-11-2008 03:52 PM

So who else out there makes the INET style of widener since inet has discontinued them?

Samurai 04-20-2008 10:40 PM

ok so for the newbie out there can you guys let me know what the benefits of widening does? and can it be done on a tlt with the normal axles or do I need to upgrade those aswell?

hessian18 07-15-2008 11:22 PM

Being wider helped my rig on side hills.....


Being wider also cut back on some passages and they way you attack them...


I like the front about a 1/4 inch wider then the rear....
