| Re: How do you lock your axles? I tried using RTV to see what kind of limited slip effezc I got, all it seemed to do is cause a tad more binging?? I dont see much effect, just wasted effort.. :( |

| Re: How do you lock your axles?  ^^^^^^^^^^^^ a spool locks both axle shafts the they always spin at the same speed. I locked the diff. in my st with super glue. |

| Re: How do you lock your axles? I think he means lock the A Arms from traveling. I found the best way to lock them solid is to put a tie rod in where the shock goes. It gives you a little adjustability and works well. Im a new guy but I catch on quickly. I always wanted to build a rig like this. And I must say I have found quite alot of help from you guys. So thanks in advance. :P  :o |

| Re: How do you lock your axles? hey maxxzilla I thought you meant that in your original post but didnt want to look like an idiot. I have had a bracket cnc'd to mount where the original shock tower mounted with ears on each side to mount my lockout rods to. These look awesome and are a bolt on affair. you have to drill a hole in the ear for the rod because I figured everyone would have different length rod.  I will try to post up a pic but my computer/connection suck. I can have you a set made if youre interested theyre 1/8" aluminum brushed finish. I also have a bracket for the bulkheads behind the shocktower above the input to the diffs where the stock chassis mounts. He'll make them both for around 35 -40 bucks cant remember exactly. I already paid to have the program drawn up and the designs loaded into the cnc machine. If you ever make ot to one of our get togethers you can see the set I have . |
