bang crash

SO I GOT MY PIONT ACCROSS

FFS, its a auto locker, not a farkn welded diff. It unlocks when your going round a corner. Where'd this blowing CV's shitcome from??

The only time your going to blow a CV through havin a auto locker with a Turbo'd TD42 is at full lock in reverse, or bouncing it up a dry rocky hill.

It doesn't effect cornering on hard, dry or wet surfaces.

If the surface is hard or dry, it unlocks, if its wet and muddy it stays locked.

thats the main think people who havnt tried auto lokkas get wrong. they dont inderstand how they work. They are alot different to a fully locked diff. they unlock quite easily. i can drive round slowly on my lawn without riping it up. the only time i wouldnt want one in the front from my experience is if i was in some thing like a winch challenge where you are being timed and needed to to tight turns at speed.

Which is the reason that im put off buy them, if your on a speed section giving it full noise i can see the steering being unpredictable.

But it all depend on what you use your truck for really, from experence there are so many time where i wouldnt use the front locker due to needing responsive steering on slippery terrain and a few times where i have scared the shit out of myself when using it at the wrong time.

Pies.......you need a good feed ya skinny bastard....Ha Ha

Bog come on young fella like you should have a steady hand, your welding should be smooth and consistant....a few rough edges gives it character....

despite how much i love the look of a nice constant long weld it doesnt look as cool in the middle of a panel

im only bogging the grind marks in the steel

yeah i eat so much allready i had a kilo of bacon for lunch today

I don't recognise it, which means I've probably never been down it, which means I NEED TO DO IT. It looks good.

Ben · Post by **Ben** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 9:35 pm

Noooo.... surely not.

Man, it must be ages since I've been through there then, as I don't recognise any of those holes. Mind you there are a few holes in that track, although I can only remember about 3 that were any trouble in the zuk.

Dammit, I thought I was onto a new track.
