yep, I run one...... If you want a heap of flex.....cheapest mod you will do.
They work a treat, go for it.
But they are a pig on the road, but you get used to it.
Your truck won't know when its on the tar, so it will try to flex up on the turns....
Make sure you carry a camera, cause the look on some of the people coming the other way is priceless.....
I truck mine round the place now, so it doesn't bother me anymore anyway, but you can lock them out to be standard again on the street....
Speak to Glen Dobbin and ask him about the Lockout pin he made up for Harb.....

Sorry for the delay.....
I had disconnects on it for about a week then took them off, and have never run them since.
I don't run swag bars front or rear, and would never really go back to them now.
The lock out returns the front end to "standard", locking out the X link action.
Its a very simple device that simply screws a pin into a drilled block on the diff housing that stop the X link moving.
As I said, Glen Dobbin built this for me, as I was worrying about it on the road, but I soon got used to it and gave the interlock back to Glen for someone else.....

If its a trail rig now, buy yourself a rear panhard and give my standard 1 back before you go spending money on the x link. Thanks tommy!

If it does a fair few road k's your probably better off with some superior superflex drop arms.. the flex of an x link with out the bath tub like handling

Anyone know the answer for the first question I asked???
Cheers
Should I get another 4wd?
not that I know from exp. but I assume it would work just as well with 3 or 6inch lift. It would stilll flexs up the front better and keeps the wheels planted.McJeff wrote:Wow, not as expensive as I thought it'd be.Jcas24 wrote:$650- dobbin engineeringMcJeff wrote:Would it be worth to have it for small lift such as 3"?

Here's a detailed description on how to fit one which I did when we where fitting mine. Once you have looked at the link that will answer most of your questions.
The caster is adjusted by where you weld the centre pivot point and the extra flex is created by relieving the stress on the raduis arms by cutting off the front radius arms mounts on the diff and bolting the arms to the X-Link which are able to move on the centre pivot point.
This X -link doesn't have the lock up set up on it as it's doesn't go on road.

I don't think Mousie knows a thing about them judging by his reply.
Cheers Mick.

Well i am about to embark on the X-Link option for my patrol
Spoke to Glenn Dobbin (sounds like a very nice guy on the phone actually) and well he seems to think it will give my car some pretty good flex.
He also is going to give me the Lock out option to lock the X-Link out for on road use, so we will see just how good the old gal goes after the X-link install
Have a travel ramp at a mates shop i plan to put it up before and after to see just how well it goes. lets hope its more stable in the bush
