Default Swapping bulkheads suck...

I'm putting ACNCM bulkheads on my tmaxx and it sucks. I just finished up swapping the rear bulkheads (didn't know I'd have to unbolt the engine) and adding some fuel line to the shocks to keep from bottoming out. Now I gotta do the front. Didn't know you had to switch to the pins w/ E-clips either, so I had to get some at my lhs. I hope I never have to replace these again... I'll post some pics when I'm done and let you know how they do after I go jump it tomorrow

The front ones weren't as hard as the rear. The bulk heads went in perfectly except the front bumper was off just a little. Looks like I'm not gonna be able to jump it tomorrow cause something came up but I'll let you guys know how they do later...

The stock bulkheads seem to break easily on the maxx huh. Now that you have the aluminum ones on the truck you should not have problems.

If you didn't loctite your screws that screw into the bulks, keep an eye on them because they like to back out over time.

I used loctite on every screw that went into aluminum.
