Lets play a little game....

So you guys guess as to who I am describing either by their name on this forum or their birthname..... Here i go

I swapped in a standard size ranger axle back into my truck after having full widths front and back. So now i have a full width in front but a standard size in the back. I am locked in the rear and spooled in the front..... my truck is white....... I just got a winch...... I have 35's and a 3 in body lift to go with a 4in suspension lift...

The other night i was in a parking lot and was turning around when OOOPPPS my left rear wheel SNAPPED OFF!!!!:de ad:.. snapped axle shaft what to blame!!!
Then i had to get it towed back to my house!

Who am i?

If lincoln locker is it just all welded up thats not what he had.

he had a real torque activated locker! The reason it snapped is he was turning tight and gave it to much gas while turning that sharp

i have a lock right rear... it was the same axle cory was running except with different shafts. the shafts i had must have been damaged somehow cause cory was running it the same axle with 40s and i only got 35s.... kind of a fluke
