seen it a few times. redneck trac lok.
I couldnt believe it when I saw it lol.
there isn't much that surprises me anymore, when you see a tank top made out of crotchless underwear and full sofa swing sets things like this dont have much shock factor haha
Isnt a welded diff wat some 240sx owners do???
You guys do realize that the guy trolled his forum, and that he welded that up as a joke... right?
Because truly NO ONE could actually be that stupid and still be able to get a rear end apart to weld it.
It was a pretty good prank.

Nothing wrong with a welded diff for offroading. I welded my 10.25" when I put it under my 78 Bronco.
It's a cheap mod. Just don't weld the pinion gear to the ring gear and you'll be fine.

It's not called a redneck TracLok, it's called a Lincoln Lock and it's a common offroad trick that provides the same traction as a spool, but the welds will typically snap before you twist an axle and strand yourself. It's become a cheapo way to have two wheel traction, but back in the day when we didn't have readily available aftermarket axles, diffs, etc. it was a viable option.
/insert banjo music here..
People weld the center diffs all the time on dsm's and probably other awd vehicles as well...
Am I missing something here? I understand that he did this as a joke, but I think the point if the joke is that he welded the pinion gear to the ring gear, and that he did not weld the spider gears. You weld the ring and pinion gears together, shit ain't going to turn.
Exactly. I don't think some people are really looking at what this clown welded.
He welded the ring and pinion gears. Not the differential gears.
Yes, it is
IDK about you guys but I ALWAYS believe people who post crazy shit as their first post. Funny how that board always has crazy threads like that by first time posters. It's almost as if they're just trying to pull visitors and up their ad revenue. Hmmmmmmm.
haha hilarious!!!
Lol
x2 seen a bunch of them do it. ghetto LSD ftw lol
