Why would they have a problem?  They have a rifle range...

Very True, But I doubt they would allow it on the trail  :o

some day I will get to be special and have custom made bumpers.... someday  :crybaby2:

:laughing4:

Can't wait to see it. I think I will be better equipped to at least stay up (or within rear view mirror distance) with you now.

I think you'll be real surprised how far that rear locker will get you now.

it will either be great and amazing or not stand up to my skinny petal leg and the results will be great and amazing minus the town back to camp lol

I have faith in Noah's welding.

Here's a YouTube video showing how to do the "Lincoln locker".  The only thing I saw different was that he welds all around the cage that the spider gears are in.  Food for thought if you ever need to reinforce it.

How to weld the Spider Gears to eliminate the Lim...: http://youtu.be/RqJWsuuKFWM

Its got me thinking about doing the 9.25 on the RC.

a lot of the video's also say to not do it in the axle housing either  :icon_scratch:


My only concern is if I get a real locker that requires that carrier... that could be a PITA... then again there is another d60 with 4.10's out there, could just swap carriers  :laughing7:
