Hahaha well ive never done up a 4wd before so im just going with my 2cents from what ive picked up in the passed 2years

But for my kinda driving it should be ok, I mostly go through mad, not to big on the rock side of things, slowly slowly it will get there,

I drove it today and was carefuly, and nothing happend, but ill tuk her away till I fix her I guess, dont want to do more damage to her


By Mad you mean mud? Wouldn't this be one place lockers would excel?

All good though, each to their own.


Blahaha yes I mean mud, didnt notice it till then, but you do have a point with the lockers, but I want arb air lockers and there just to $$$ right now so lift and big wheels for now lol


Have you got gears? You won't enjoy 32's on stock gearing. Hell 29's is a PITA.

I don't mean to keep harping on, but before you throw big tyres on, get your gearing right for them, I was annoyed that the zook I bought had 29's and stock gears (didn't realise at the time, I didn't know enough about zooks) and I had to save up to get gears. I was always going to get gears anyway, but it was pretty useless to drive around until I got them, really sluggish and taking off was harder on the clutch than I'd like.

Just letting you know, I mean yeh go for the tyres and lift but don't forget to gear it properly!

You've just answered your own question. The knuckle has to come off to fit them, and even then they are fiddly to fit.

It's not 10 times longer really - sure, there's a few more bolts, but it's not a bad idea to check the condition of the kingpin bearings and seals.

Whilst is theoretically possible to break anything, I'm pretty confident you won't be pulling them out because you've broken one. The hub bolts are weaker than the CV's, and they're a convenient and quick item to change on the track, in the scheme of things.

It's still not a bad idea to pull the CV's from time to time though. They're a bit harder on inner axle seals, so you might have them out to change the seals occasionally.
