Default New install today.

So i finished putting in a mini spool in the rear today. Needless to say I LOVE IT!!! Does it chirp around corners? slightly but not a big worry. How
does it perform off-road? LIKE A CHAMP! The only time I honestly notice it on road is around really tight corners and concrete parking lots. pretty happy with its overall performance.

a mini spool is much like a locker but more similar to welding your spider gears in your rear differential. it simply makes your rear axle solid all the time. no single wheel spin no slip nothing. just solid traction all the time.
