Re: " KILL SWITCH THEORY " - Is This POSSIBLE ?

(1) The switch is too "flashy".
(2) The location is way too easy to find.

When I asked about a "locker" for 10-bolts, I was thinking about the Detroit Locker type . . .

I suspect that unit you posted might fail, if used with 400-450 RHWP and sticky tires.

Since the studs are, initially, only "hand tight", I presume that they are, in fact, "torqued", when the nuts are torqued to final specs . . . Right ?
