Just curious, if each of you would like to share - are those of you that are ordering more than 1 set doing so for multiple deuces or are you also locking out the forward tandem axle?
In order to put one on a rear axale, EITHER rear axle, you'll have to modify the axle shaft.

Thanks for confirming this. That's my understanding too - one would need a whole new double spline axle shaft (splines on both ends because the stock axle shaft is part of the hub), like Ouverson's sells:

And as long as you haven't added a differential locker, you'd only need to put a lockout hub on one side.

Surely more deuce owners would like to sign up for this deal! You have a few weeks to keep saving. ;)

Put me down for 1 set also. What do you guys feel about the yukon drop in noslip lockers. I need to buy one soon after the lockouts. I doubt i will need a full detroit carrier. My truck is a bobbed 71 Kaiser Jeep with 53s. I only need the locker when I am in deep snow, dragging trees out of the woods, or just goofin in a local mud hole.

You will make 21. I will reach back out to the vendor to see if $XXX is still the "bottom".

Going to run this for two more weeks for commitments, then start collecting on the 1st. Payments due by the 7th. Order will be placed on the 8th.

Wondering if we can get detailed spec. with pictures. I now have Warn Locking Hubs and have internal metal galling problems that make it very hard to turn on and off. The threaded part is a casting that seems to be made of pot metal or at best cast aluminum.

Thank for your help.

As with any hub, you have to do maintenance on them. I found that coating the moving parts with copper never seize every 10,000 miles keeps things from binding up. I have had hubs explode from the torque. But maintenance will keep them working.

Ok folks, let's start getting this underway. I plan on placing the order Friday after next on the 8th. Please start sending in payments to this address:

......


You'll see that's the same address that payments are sent to upgrade memberships here on the site. (I just take the checks, update the membership, then pass them along to Chris) I'd like to handle the process the same way here. The easiest way to go about all this would be to send a USPS money order to my address, but have it payable to C&C. I will pass it along to them in a single bundle. Please include your shipping address as well.

I've created the following spreadsheet to track everything.
