Don't get a full time locker, get a Detroit TruTrac or some other kind of posi unit. That way they'll only lock when needed/on the power.im just afraid of busting the axles and i dont wanna buy c clip eliminators but may have to invest some moola into a gear locker and c clip eliminators. i hate breaking axles always happens in a bad spot also chewing up tires is not what i like .....
yup been thinking about it.. had one on my dodge worked great $$$$$$Don't get a full time locker, get a Detroit TruTrac or some other kind of posi unit. That way they'll only lock when needed/on the power.
hahaha that'll work hahahahaSteering brakes!!! Lock the spinning wheel in your case. But usually for making unreasonably tight turns.Skid steer style,pull locks right rear,push locks left rear. Or hillbilly style, Cut the right rear parking brake cable,plug the left rear brake line.
Old VW bugs had that built in every car. The parking brake between the front seats had two cables, one for each rear wheel. Easy to pop off the cable for the wheel with traction, pull the handle and stop the spinning wheel.Steering brakes!!! Lock the spinning wheel in your case.

Baja bugs allot had Turning brakes from Scat aftermarket. Maybe there still around. Speaking of vw. I remember opening the front bonnet of a 71 bug and found the window squirter was run off of the air pressure from the spare tire?!!? WTF lolOld VW bugs had that built in every car.

Lots of companies made steering brakes primarily for off road use. Don't remember Scat making them. Jamar, CNC,Wilwood,and some that just put 2 more handles on the stock ebrake handle. 1 for left 1 for right middle still worked for part. But actually the washer bottle running off of spare tire air pressure is freaking slick. The hose from the spare tire to the washer bottle has a valve in it,at certain pressure your washers will no longer work,so you don't run your spare flat. When I build my new place I'm going to use the same type system,air compressor to pressurize the water tank. But where I live you have to haul and store water.Baja bugs allot had Turning brakes from Scat aftermarket. Maybe there still around. Speaking of vw.

Ow, that sounds like a pain. No place to drill a well?When I build my new place I'm going to use the same type system,air compressor to pressurize the water tank. But where I live you have to haul and store water.
I've got 2 they both have gone dry. I've thought about trying to do rain water collection but that only works when you have rain.Ow, that sounds like a pain. No place to drill a well?
