Just to let you know.those shitty Spicer joints have been in there for 4 years.
 
#1,533 ·
IDK, I have broken plenty of stubs and wore out my lockright in my 60 all on the same spicer joints. Tack weld the caps to the ears and have never had a problem. Occansionaly the welds break and I grind them down and reweld.



But I do have intentions of going to supierors and better joints eventually.

That I'd why the rcv,s come about.I planned on getting some super joints but got offered a good deal on rcv's. I wanted rcv for a while.so its time.I have never had 1 issue with my shafts or joints since I put them in.

been looking for a short drum winch for the front. wanted a warn 9500 rock crawl but $1400.00 wasnt going to happen.i might use it 5 times a year. so i come across this sweet knock off for 350.00. i already have rope and a wireless remote.called the company and can get it cheaper then 350.00. me being the bargain shopper i am.going to try it.was very happy with my titan.but its too big for my buggy.

Really? That heavy? My 42 TSLs are only 158 each and those are on H1 wheels with rubber beadlocks and a good sized rock ring. Are the SX's themselves that much heavier?

Erin, I am selling the Ford 205 from my rig if youre interested.

Yea I hate those things.so should I get 40 krawlers or 42 krawlers both reds.for my second set of tires?
 
#1,551 ·
The only catch is the 42 krawler is only available for a 20" wheel.
