    one nice thing about locking hubs is you can let your ripped boot go a bit longer as its not spinning flinging shit all over lol

    finished up my twin stick install.

    Haha You got me there. I turned down the opportunity to switch to manual hubs back when I ditched the douche bracket lift. Just didn't think I had the aptitude for it. Now Im just too lazy to source parts. I regret very much:bored:

    Have to agree, when I saw them I was happy they didn't go all nutso with ricer anodizing. Just a basic greenish grey.

    i swapping to a manual transfer case, and figured why not do twin stick. i do find having 2wd low kinda nice when just messing around. but with locking hubs, you can kinda do the same thing already. but its just cool looking, another one of those little features that are nice (like the heated seats lol)

    everyone was in 4lo.

    I'd run that trail in 2 lo. Only a few places where grip was bad. Dad long wheel base bit him in the ass.

    But the fact is that you can turn tighter in low range. Thats the use.

    you won't crab walk if you don't have your locker in ALL THE TIME LIKE YOU.especially on that trail. Which is why Mikes crabbed walked.

    Which i don't.

    But either way. The point of twins is 2 lo for better turning when needed. May not come into that situation often. But its an option.

    Axle swapped C/Os adjusted back up. Moved the passenger cv boot as far in as possible without inverting it and put a CV clamp in front of it. Looking like it will barely clear the bottom of the coil by a toenail. Guess Im going to have to reboot these with some other boots with lower profile fins. Sucks, I really was liking these polyuethane boots.
