A word on the locking axles. As far as Bjorn's
question, the differential is a Detriot Locker also
marketed as a "NoSpin." This unit replaces the axle
and spider gears in the differential. It is a positive
locking unit that will provide 100% power to both
wheels. Boyce sells the Detriot for $595. There is a
place in FL (Chuck's Trucks)sells it for like $450.
My tire matching formula that I've posted before will
cause conflict if applied to rear axles with Detroit
Lockers. Most heavy truck suppliers can get the
Detroit for your deuce. 2 of these in the rear and
1000# of cargo can turn a deuce into a wild beast off
road. Bjorn, contact me direct for some extra info on
the lockers.
