Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: detroit locker on m1009 fron So true. My 1009 gov-lock committed suicide whilst I was pulling donuts in a muddy field. It still worked OK in a straight line, but going around corners it went pop, pop, pop :evil: The little weight from the gov-lock and...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: detroit locker on m1009 front di AJM, I agree with the TruTrac as you can see from my post above. Here's an interesting blurb I found on OffRoaders.Com about the Gov-Pop. It gives a good description of how it really works.
