Body Damage is Cool

I can shift on the fly in and out of 4WD on the fly if I first have the hubs locked.


Right, but with regard to the latest trucks and SUVs the general public is going to forget to lock the hubs and do some damage by shifting into 4wd at 50mph.

If you have to ask about a SAS, you're not ready for it.

Need a Spot
I had ADD on my truck up until this summer when I did a manuel hub conversion. The gas milage has improved a little, but I find the steering is alot lighter and makes the truck sligthly more comfortable to drive.
