Maybe he was out voting...

lol I've been getting that for the last 2 weeks

A lot of these offroading related shops have spurts where they are impossible to get a hold of. I've had to call and call and call for ever at some places They will become available again soon I'm sure.

That's what I figured too. I'll continue to be patient & nice in the hopes that they'll cut me a killer deal on a set to Beta Test them.

You have a front locker and a super flexy IFS kit?! I didn't know that!! I didn't even know you did a lot of wheelin? Damn, and I thought I had a pretty good idea about my family's VX usage.
The above things must be true in order to be the test platform. That narrows it down to only a few of us...and I believe one has a blown engine, another sounds like he doing a engine swap as well.

[tom4bren]

You, me, BigMeat & LittleBeast have the most experience with trashed CVs so personally, I think I would be a good choice to test them.

[vt_maverick]

In any case, more testers equals more reliable results.

LOL, I was just giving you a hard time. I figure a front locker while wheeling would be the hardest test platform, and add bonus points for the Superflexy IFS kit.
Although, I have never broken an OEM CV on the trail, and other than boots, have never had a problem.
I just want peace of mind that I don't have to worry ever again. I want some of those fancy orange boots at RCV, but I will wait on the new set and see what they come up with. I will keep one of my after market CVs as a trail spare since the RCVs come with a sweet warranty.

Maybe we can get them to do a group buy reduced rate, perhaps put down a 50% deposit or some such deal.

they are not sure what the size is for the VCross(RCV), talked with someone and he said if he could get the OD of the 2 boot sizes needed and number of folds he would look to see what could fit.

I know. I never take myself seriously ... you even less so.

Crap - I didn't even think about sending them the spare CV boot I have. I'll try calling them again today.

They should be able to get the boot size from the CV joints they have.

I'll offer though & get some brownie points

Yep, I'm the one with the blown engine. Should be back on the road in another week or so though. We should all get together next spring to do some wheeling (Uwharrie or wherever).

So, what's the status on these new hardcore CV's? Shop still not responding?

[tom4bren]

Not today (but I have not been leaving voicemails). If he doesn't pick up this afternoon, I'll leave a message for him to call me.

I'm going to Moab next spring, so no uwharrie April trip. I am planning on doing the December run in mid December to close out the season, test out the IFS kit, and maybe the RCV CVs.
