There is a guy on a dakota/durango forum I am on, who has a rockwell swap. And, he is going to have his set up with a lever to select.. locked (normal), tight turns and sideways.

I saw that rig in a mag, I think it was ORA, but I'm not sure. It's not fake at all!! I recognized the 8-ball gussets in the exo-cage. He didn't have the Rockwells then, just D60s...poor guy!! Even then it looked like he had an unlimited bank account to fund the build. That thing is top notch all the way. He doesn't cut corners!! Let him know, if he gets tired of building that ZJ I have an XJ that could use some of his $$!! Thanks for the post Nick, that thing is bad!!
