Re: "its all about ol' black"

Mazimizer front diff bindin up;

What happened? Sounds more like a u-joint. Let us know what happened when you inspect. I built my front 60 a couple years ago, almost put in an ARB, decided to wait till I ditch the rear Detroit. Spent all the money on axles and hubs and held off on locker setup. I am considering an OX also.

Interesting, is that maxi a truetrak clone? I lock my fronts in all summer, monsoon season here is all summer. But I'm open in the front still. I make the point because I've very seriously considered turetrak front and rear.

I installed Yukon hubs, I really like them. I actually bought the Yukon kit for 35 spline chromoly outer stub shaft upgrade. Anyhow point is, Yukon hubs use a dog clutch in lieu of splines, I really like the design. Dog is why they don't stick out as far.

Like your LS too, probably fires right up in your cold up there!
