| OLD NEWS SW2 Lockout?
Forgive me if this has been posted before; there's only about 5,000 posts on TLT rear lockouts, but this works so well I just had to share. If it's been posted before, flame away; I'll just throw things at the wall or something. Mounting the steering lockout links in front gets 'em out of the way for a more scaley look, and you can tie them into the SW2 plate for uber strength. They sit above the 4-link bars so there's no problem with dragging. Did I mention, I really like these SW2 link mounts? |

Stu, is this another one of those *sit down and drink and stare* nights in the garage ideas?

Naw, this was one of those "hell, I'm taking the diff apart anyway (why I didn't lock it in the first place I'll never know) so I might as well try a better-looking lockout" moments. 5 minutes, tops. I kinda figured this was old news because it was an easy mod and the SW2 mounts have been out for a while.
