Default Look Ma no lockouts!!

Got the RC4WD extended TLT shafts and they are awesome. The eliminate the need to lock out the rear knuckles. Plus you can get away with not using the inner bearing and since the knuckle is just a carrier you might as well use a plastic one instead of an AL one. Save it and use it as a front set for another rig.

Looks good! I opted to buy their axle lockouts also because I was worried the hubs would act like a leverage point and bend the shafts.

Good observation. I will see how these hold up. When you get them post up a pic.

They do not come extended. I am just running G made extensions with barrel nuts.

It puts it at stock width and I think they have a few more threads added on as well.

I really hope so. Like the TG10 rear axles would be great.

Yes looks great, but that's my worry too...about the hubs.
