Do all of the front differentials lock up? I was under the impression they are open diffs but what causes the bucking is the U-joint. The more you turn the wheels the Ujoints become less steady the turning becomes and the outer shaft spins in a cycle of faster,slower,faster,slower. Hard to explain in words. That's why they switched to and gave CV joints their name (Constant Velocity), constant angular velocity at all angles of operation.

I wish plate was that cheap, up here its damn near 3x that price.

I used to work at Ryerson (deals with metals of different sorts) last year while going to university before I became a stay at home dad, and we had fairly cheap chinese made plate, and it was never ever that cheap.

At less then 200 bucks for a 4x8 sheet of half inch plate where you live, I could damn near buy a bunch of it, truck it up here, and sell it for almost 3 times as much and make a killing haha
