    818 locker install

    I guess If I were only to lock one, I'd do the back one. it gets better traction and has more leverage on the front axle.

    818 locker install

    there is no real difference in turning circle for me bc the inside tire just turns up the earth. it might be more if I were doing it on concrete or pavement. I like it, but it's just different. have to get used to it and "try" to coast around turns if possible.

    818 locker install

    ya, I did. I enjoyed it but it's not a good thing. The experiance wasn't bad just a new one. I learned a little more on how to drive with them and I will try not to let it happen again. I will try to make my approach to the back yard a little more straight next time.

    Removing Axles for Highway Driving?

    ah, you have lockers. yes you will need to pull both on the front tandem. it's a huge pain bc there are a lot of bolts, hard to get to and you will have an even harder time getting the driveshaft back in after you run it around. and as I've said you won't gain a single mpg out of the whole...

    the only way to have press on the gauge with it running is to leave it out with it running. then you get a reading. with it stowed you will not see a reading with it running.
