I can see changing the angle of the steering diff. would hurt the steering and the front pinion really wouldn't hang up so i think I will just space the front higher but I like your rear lock out,can you post a pic of them?

sorry, i have heard of the wedge before, but what is it, does it rotate the rear pinion upwards. Thanks Oh yeah, nice looking rig, i think the bmvii is a very clever idea. |
