    Track Box

    Oh Crap, I saw the big joe's pic, but I thought they were on regular axles, not the extended XL ones, my bad dude. That box is definitely sweet then. Man I wish I still lived in IL... there are freakin like a thousand rural kings. I probably went to rural king like 2-3 times a month back home...

    Track Box

    I may try the bag idea, if anyone is interested I'll be sure to post pictures. It even has corner straps so you can safely secure it to the roof of your car, haha :-)

    Track Box

    Man this is the first jobox that I have ssen large enough to hold our trucks... though it may still be slightly to small for guys running ext axles or offset rims? I was planning on buying one of these: http://www.duffelbags.com/store/products/DuffelGear_Mother_Of_All_Bags-1761-3.html...

    Well, it was supposed to be in the mail by now almost to my house... but my contact fell through on the 3D printer. So I have one more contact left on a rapid prototype machine. This is actually a way better friend, but I'm not sure if he still has his machine, I will find out tomorrow...

    Yep, it is for the rear of the truck. The throttle/brake servo will be next to the engine and the reciever/switch/fail safe/battery will all be behind that. It is too long for an ext truck... but not by much. I'll take that as a compliment, haha :-)

    Well the one in the picture is made for an XL length... I want to make one for an extended as well though. As far as buying one, well, I'm just doin this crap for fun, haha. If it turns out I can do it with the mold at home. Enough money to cover the plastic and shipping would be plenty...

    I looked into injection molding... anywhere from $3000-$6000 in tooling cost, and then maybe $3-$5 per part after that.... soooo that is out of the question haha. I am going to try to make a silicone mold off of the prototype, and then experiment with a couple different types of plastic. I am...

    New Diffs

    I like the sldering gun over a torch too +1 !! :-) I wen tto harbor freight today and looked at the two impacts they sell... They operate just as Londoner says. I don;t know if the iside is like he described, but probably. They definitely turn ascompress the handle towards the screw...

    New Diffs

    After reading your explanation of how the impact screwdriver works I started looking into it... I am not sure what the internals of mine looks like (I could speculate but that doesn't do anybody any good, haha). All I know is what it does. If you push mine straight in it compresses sometype...

    New Diffs

    Plus it would be hard to hold the diff with one hand... hold the impact with another hand... and swing the hammer with your third hand :-)

    New Diffs

    There is no reason to strike it with a hammer and bottom out the internal spring and risk damage to such a small part. Just push it in until it snaps and rotates, the pressure you apply by hand will be enough, hammer is not necessary. I didn't mean turn it like a screw driver, haha!

    what if i like 4 fat shocks??????

    You can get the plastic BBs for less than $57, more like $45 or so online I think. Pretty sure most people on here think they are fine.

    New Diffs

    I don;t know about the vise... just sounds like a bad idea. Persoanlly I just grabbed hold of the diff in the left hand (no rag, so the ring gear can really dig into your skin and stay gripped tight), and then turn the screws with a new quality phillips bit screw driver. Just apply enough...
