Yup. Got mine out of an 80's F250 4x4. I was told the F150 works as well. Don't know about any others.

Dustin, thats one of the problems with the TTB 35. You can upgrade to 44 outers and run the stage X lockers. For now go to either AutoZone or Oreilly's ( I can't remember which, they are both next door), they have an upgraded thicker nut. Check out the other side of my beams, you will see one is thicker than the other. I had to replace one, but didn't bust the other side, yet. It's not from over tightening, but I believe from the stress of being against the outer bearing wanting to walk, or push the nut off...

Well I got the winch wrapped up. Took a little longer. I had to fab up a bracket for the fairlead. I thought it mounted to the winch.

And I almost forgot my skid plate. Seen it as I was putting stuff up for the night. Gotta get that thing relocated. Don't need to be bashing tcases against anything.

Rick, I am not going to be doing anything like that right now. I am going to keep rocking this and maybe someday I'll buy those trussed 44 beams and Copykat's brackets from slo-vo.

I figured that, which is why I told you about the upgraded nuts you can get from AZ or the O store...

you try any double low 2wd burnouts yet?

That's the very first thing I did when I got my doubler together.

Not going to happen.

Wuss.


That spindle nut is madness. I've never seen one split before.

 

[disciplerocks]

Wuss.

Well my shaft doesn't have a warranty.

Guess thats just one of the downfalls of not having one of yalls big boy axles

If your setup can't handle spinnin' 2 tires on level ground, it'll be in pieces once you get all 4 tires bound up in a rock garden.

I know it's unnecessary wear n tear on your shit, but I considered it my first shakedown. If it failed the burnout test I sure as shit wasn't gonna trust it wheelin.

I'm not trying to convince you to do it either, just rationalizing why I did. lol

Why not just do 2hi burnouts in 2nd like I do?

oh thats right.....

I did a 2nd gear burnout the other day. One of my cases was in hi range.

All that has been sold.

The mount for the fairlead is temporary.

Looking good. Looks like its time to beef up those RA's now...
