That's unbelievable Chris! How do you get in to that monster and what is the turning radius?? Also what make is your AK, I've got a Yugoslav Zastava. (said over 2 years ago by Rob Gojkovich).
Its a Chicom type56. one of many AKs, but its my favorite. I climb in anyway I can. Turning radius isnt bad at all, considering the Rockwells are closed knuckle. (said over 2 years ago by Chris Meyer).
BAD ASS (said about 1 year ago by Doug).
WTF is up with the lift block/spring perches on the front? (said about 1 year ago by Rich Nelson).
They work. (said about 1 year ago by Chris Meyer).
Yeah thats cool, just seems like there would be some bad axle wrap. I am thinking about using a pair of Rockwells on my Scout, I noticed you have the front diff on the drivers side (said about 1 year ago by Rich Nelson).
Did you rotate the center chunk or just turn the whole axle around and flip the knuckles? How does it steer/track? I heard there is more caster if you flip the axle around. (said about 1 year ago by Rich Nelson).
My other question is, what transfercase are you using in that beast. Must be something pretty stout. (said about 1 year ago by Rich Nelson).
sick,sick,sick. Crazy man love the guns too (said about 1 year ago by chris).
