Need Front Axles

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, I am thinking of just spraying mine straight black. I want to get an extra set though just in case...

Nite-shade your clear markers. I have an order for three cans on the way. Plan to shade all markers and tail lights.

Strange, is there that much difference between an 60 series and 70 series. I mounted 185 60 18s Toyo AT's and only had to trim the front lip of the cladding. And it looks goooooooooooooood!

P.S. no lift

[Bimati]

Yep. It has alot to do with wheel size/diameter, spacers, and the profile (60/70/75 etc) of the tire (which is proportionately affected by the rim diameter).....if you can tell from my avatar, my 265/70/17 lifted the VX higher than I have seen others....even sitting beside another VX with a 3" lift, mine looks like about 5"....I like it, but it's a pain in the arse for rubbage, and I wouldn't recommend it for others.....

[JHarris1385]

I have noticed how high yours looks, and I dont understand. I put 912's on it, like I think you have plus I have 265/75/16 = 31.65 and your set up 265/70/17 = 31.61....equalling mine with a VERY slight hieght advantage and it still seems lower than yours.

$700 per side!?!?!?!?!?!

That's almost the cost of a solid axle swap.

My thinking exactly! Can't wait for mine to go!

Wish I would have known that before I bought them....I'm a four wheeling greenie, so I didn't know I had any options.

I would have got them here for a lot less. You could buy almost 10 times as many.

OUCH!

Bimati, did they at least offer to use KY at the price you were quoted?

Why such a HUGE price difference? Are the ones in the link above junk and not OEM? Or are you getting the same parts and quality as stock?

[JHarris1385]

Whoa, return yours and get a SAS or ones from that link. Even if they charge you a restocking fee it is going to be WAY cheaper or better.

At that price they would have to be rebuilt . But at that price how can you go wrong. shawn

Bim - sorry to hear about the axle issues... hope she gets up and running like new - soon.

-biju.

Gentlemen,

Words cannot express the distaste I have for being fooked in the bum without the proper courtship, no dinner, no KY, not even a "please" or "thank you."

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Thanks Phychos2 Shawn for the link. If this works out, I owe you a damn nice dinner when you're near Colorado.

Beej: Still driving to Denver/Ft. Collins every week to see my daughter....the miles will keep getting piled on, problems or not!

Here's the good news: I cancelled the OEM order from Merlin, and there's not even a restocking fee since Isuzu hadn't shipped them yet!!!!!!!

I ordered the ARC units from the link.....although I fully expect them to show up made out of plastic and balsa wood, you can't go wrong for that price....I couldn't buy an OEM fart for that price.

Thanks guys....a great example of why this forum exists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bimati]

Poop.

That ARC link that was posted is a farce. They changed my credit card and never provided the axles, and will not return email and will not answer the phones when I call....


I am now starting the axle search again.....anyone? Anyone?
