axle question?

[howboutchaw]

I was wanting to know if I can use the stock lock nut with a lone star axle? Just don't have the cash for the axle and anti fade nut.
What about a durablue do they come with a nut set up or do I have to buy it separate? I have seen a few places to get a durablue for under $290 but I have no ideal if I have to buy the $180 nut set up to use it.

Thank You

I'm 99.9% you can use the stock lock nut or you can get one of these for $44.99 from http://www.meszmoto.com you still need to use the stock threaded/splined piece off the stock nut.

Don't waste the cash on a $200 anti-fade nut...get a axle nut like the one pictured above for much cheaper..

Go with LSR before Durablow...:blah:

if you got the money to spend i highly suggest one...getting an axle installed cant get much easier when you have an antifade....no more breaking out with the 4ft pipes to get the nut tightened down....heck i didnt even break a sweat doing mine :D not to mention u will never have to worry about it coming loose, and plus...look at it....tell me that doesnt set things off nicely? :devil:

You can easily find an axle lock nut on ebay for 'round $45. Much better than the stock locknut.

I'd recomend getting 2-bolt version instead of the 1 bolt.

How exactly does it tighten down? I just bought a meszaros dual pinch for 39.99 :D right before the price increase :eek: I would love an antifade though. I love how it looks and its a big plus if u dont have to break out a 10 foot pole to loosen it :devil:

u know that metal rod u have to use to adjust the carrier? ya, thats the same tool you use to tighten the antifade up. after that, theres a little allen head screw that pinches the nut tight...just snug that up and your good to go. its soooo simple, i love it.
