  1. Definitely a nice upgrade. I did mine with a foreign car steering. The guy that sold you the kit made them first for a Corsa B from the UK.. mine works good. Watch high speed with the power cranked up... you definitely could roll it with this kit. Specially with no sway bar.mine is crazy loose at 40mph. Mine will kick out if I abuse it climbing hills locked in all 4's. But my buggy lives on the Rev limiter..!

  2. Well If you notice the tired of this bullshit applied to the center carrier pins along with some of the tired of pulling apart crap applied the the outside spider gear pins. To answer your question the pins broke then worked there way out to try to ruin my case. So I applied the tech knowledge of the Lincoln gods. I figured either way if it breaks again it's gonna be junk looking at my rear inside. It was prob 3 licks to the center of blowing it apart. It beat the one pin round off my pinion shaft.

  3. I did install the kit. and I went through it pretty good. Im not really a newbie at this stuff..Just saying. I dont know what else it could be. I can say I run it hard hill climbing and mud and stuff. The rev limiter gets banged almost all the time. The rear spider shafts have broken 2 times so far. 1st time one broke this time both broke. I dont know what the answer is but Im weary of buying a new rear if this is a continuing issue for me. Any input is Very welcomed.......

  4. The guy at the machine shop told me that the cross shafts we have are poor design with the wrong materials.To hard and heat treated. Keep in mind I am NOT a machinist.... Being that said unless they changed the rears design it will never be better unless we get cross shafts made. He told me unless I had a bunch for him todo he wouldnt considerate to do because of cost to me. So i dont know if will be worth it. Going to go look at some other options. But im welding it up at this point...... Unless I come up with something soon because its my snow plow...

  5. It just has the physical dimensions that it may be the best to squeeze in. Other then that I believe you can get a limited slip gear ratio is 3.?? I believe so it would be better for crawling. I am going to a machine shop today just to bs alittle about getting gears made. Or maybe comeing up with a fix for our rears.

  6. Ok guys I know I have beat this horse before but it needs done again. The one center pin on the spider gears broke again! You can tell by knock knock knock driving down the road. I do not have a clue why it broke again. Everything is tight in the rear end. So anyways back to point A does anyone have any?

  7. Hey guys!

    Well back to the rear end on my trooper.

    I didn't pull the rear apart yet but I have a knocking sound in the rear end just like last time! Going to say it's one of the center pins.

    So first question is does anyone else had this issue? And 2 I will be looking for pinion shafts again. So please let me know if anyone has one.

    Thanks!

  8. This is I believe a much needed topic since I feel they Suck as bad as my 04 GTO did before it's upgrade. I don't know if there is any interest out there but I'm working on a project of sorts to help this lead sled to stop. If this works out it will be a bolt on caliper kit hopefully just using our front brake lines.

    Time will tell if it will work or not. Hope to have completed and tested in the next month. I will let you know. It will just be a big upgraded caliper kit with brackets.

  9. Thanks! Your defiantly right. It's not 5/8 dam metric shit. I think I might put in a bleeder in the line. I would lower the unit to bleed it out but I like to make things so I don't have to fool with it again. I might use a Preston flush kit to use as a bleeder.

    Thanks Hardy!

  10. I attached one line to the 5/8 hose beside thermastat and the other to the front water pump hose where the tee was.Im using a summit racing after market heater. I have it mounted high at the top my cabin. I am most certain I have a air pocket.

  11. That would be my guess. But isnt both front and back seperate with 2 master cylinders? But they are pinned togather at pedal? So wouldnt it have to be both front and rear issues to lose pedal ? If not couldnt it be a rear?
