NovaPath Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Ok guys, give me the down sides. Only time I will be in 4wd is on trails, how screwed will the turning radius be? Don't want to weld the rear as it is still driven on the street to camping and wheeling spots, and will be occasionally around down as well.

onespiritbrain Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I am going to do it. Probably sometime in June or July.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CortlandCH Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Do you have manual hubs? That'll keep things smooth if you're still going to try and keep the turning fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaPath Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 my front is welded. pretty fun. front feels solid. manual hubs are a must Do you get tired of hopping out and unlocking them re locking? I imagine 90% of the time the drivers hub just stays unlocked... also, how many cv shafts and manual hubs have you broken? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrote Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 You would obviously need to install lockers so you're not spinning the front diff all the time. Even then, I still think you'd find it a bigger problem than it's worth. I don't think Id want my front locked up all the time, even off road. Mostly because it makes it hell to turn, and I usually find myself in pretty tight spaces when off road. A locker would be nice, but welded seems to be a step too far.

CortlandCH Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 As far as if it's inconvenient, you shouldn't need to get out all the time to turn the hubs anyways... Only takes a few seconds regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
