Default 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?

Hey Goat i just saw this for the 1st time on scale 4x4 on that black courier but this is a much better picture and I just so happen to use benders mounts so this is awesome!

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.
