when you can disconnect the rear drive, you can use cutting brakes on your rear wheels. these will totally lock either rear wheel on your rig, then you can can drive on just the front diff and your rig will pivot on the locked back wheel.
its good cause you can execute tighter turns.

you gain maneurvability

really important with long wheel-based rigs or tight competition courses

they are the ticket

Just got a reply from Brent they are $399 US for the disconnect and you have to maake you own linkage.

that's not too bad sam. how much shipped end to end to my door in AUD? pm if you want.

would it work with just the later style drum handbrake instead of cutting brakes?

i'll just go try driving the front wheel drive camry with the handbrake on and see

how would your buggy go with it sam? do you think it'd have enough power to turn the fronts with the backs locked?

what about a standard sierra, surely they wouldn't handle the added pressures if they're runnin standard gear with bigger tyres?

This will allow you to disconect the rear drive so effectively you are only spinning the front tyres so it will do it easier than with the rear connected the only draw back is that it will load up your CV's enormously as yoou will be turning on lock and trying to drag the rear wheels I woiuld think that standard cv's will break real easy.

NAM if you times the US price by two and a half that will be fairly accurate to how much it will cost landed in AUS.

ps.as I said it will give you a rough price give or take a little.
