The last CV you'll ever need....maybe

[Ascinder]

I stumbled across these guys over at Pirate while looking for potential upgrades to the already overbuilt axles I'm swapping in. They do custom work and seem to have several good designs that would no doubt end our lifted CV issues. They can cut any splines we need, and on most of their stuff they have a "You break it, we replace it" warranty. A VX version of THESE look very promising. This is a tremendous boon if they worked out. Imagine running a locker up front with no worries of breakage. Now imagine the same thing with 35"+ tires. Our level of wheeling ability and safety increases dramatically.

Nice find!
And they are no more expensive than OEM shafts! Wonder how much extra it would be for "custom" orders?

[RamAirZ]

I've seen there site before, they have some awesome stuff! I might give em' a call about it tomorrow and see what they say

[Triathlete]

Let us know what you find out.

[RamAirZ]

Will do, I probably won't be ordering any soon (just dropped about $700 this past week on VX stuff lol) but I would love to know if they can do it. How are those EMPI's working for you Billy?

Huh?? That link said $495 each!

[RamAirZ]

I just got off the phone with Craig over there, he wants me to send him my axles so they can reverse engineer them but he thinks they can get it done. I'm going to have to yank my axle out soon then but this gives me an excuse to do the diff drop and a locker install lol. I may have to skip the Uwharrie trip if they can't get something done in time but oh well, might be worth it if we can get some strong axles for a change. I'll keep you guys updated, probably gonna work on getting the axle out on Thursday since I have the whole day off.

I think he's referring to "order new from Merlin" prices.

[AlaskaVX]

I would definately buy a set.

[RamAirZ]

Ya me too, make swapping in a V8 more practical without having to do a solid axle

[tom4bren]

I can donate my spare set. They need to be reworked (pieces borrowed for my rebuild a cupla years ago). They should be sufficient for his reverse engineering though.

[RamAirZ]

Ya if you want to send them my way we can get this thing started! It shouldn't matter if they are broke as long as they are all together, do you have the inner cups too?

Correctamundo sir!

So far they are doing alright. Haven't had them off road yet...to much training, to little time (says the retired guy) and way to damn hot!

[RamAirZ]

haha I can understand that (the too little time lol)
