Any of you guys have any experience with a true track locker? Im having trouble getting my axles in, there is a spacer thats kinda like the pin that goes through the carrier and it wont go in between the two axles....very frustrating. Its like the difference in a fingernail lol all i need is like .010 or .020 and it would slide right in.

Maybe one of the other guys can help youEM...I had my soft Locker set-up by a drive train shop.. I know of the pin your talking about...I would think it would have keepers for it..and be a press fit?

Well I figured it out...Its not like the pin in a standard 8.8"... It was the same size as the axles and it pushed them both back outward. So I got an extra set of hands to hold it center and i got a hammer an a rod and pounded it in! then there is another thing on top that holds it and a BIG C-clip its in now im just wrestling with the drum breaks 
Ill let ya know how it does when i get the breaks back togeather tonight.

Sounds like your getting plenty of steam to the 8.8" now to be able to spin those tires!! Thats Great...
