    you know how you said you struggled in an area causing overheat.

    being locked in the front may have made it a tad bit easier and no overheating.

    true it wasn't needed, but it's nice to not have to push too hard.

    Not having 35s would have solved the issue too.

    yes, but what I'm saying is pushing a build farther. what you're saying is taking a build back a step.

    both solve a heat issue, true, ones just a lot more cool :cool:

    Front locker for sure makes every trail easier.
    It is easily the best mod I have done to date.
    I for sure want use it in turns if it is in a bind but being locked in the front gets me a lot of places some trucks can't go.
    At Turkey Bay I climbed a hill others could not climb the 1st part of the year and when we returned a month ago the ones that had installed a front locker went up the hill.
    If I didn't have a front locker I would for sure get one.

    All the would tell me is they had an issue and it was fixed in the new style. They didn't want to talk about it.

    see, I hate when people don't update you.

    because then it makes me question if maybe there was an install mistake they placed blame elsewhere.

    I don't think it was an istall issue. I sent the 1st one back and the went through it, sent it back to me and same issue returned.
    Also Tim had the same issue I was having.

    never tried selling used tires. Is it really worth it? Thinking about getting new ones before the ones I got are completely shot.

    Dang. So in other words, I could justify a new set of 33s with the wife. Lol
