Isn't that axle quite a bit wider than ours? Why not just get an Isuzu 12 bolt Dana44?

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

About 2 inches. Will probably run 1 inch spacers in rear and wheels with a bit more rear spacing.Originally Posted by Marlin
Ah, $50 for the 44 and way more parts available!

Wasn't the Isuzu D-44 a rear axle...

All D44s are 10 bolt. Isuzu only used them in the rear so would be tough to make them work right. You can flip them for a high pinion and make the gears turn right but then you have oiling issues for the pinion bearing.
Side note, when I was at the pull n pay this weekend ALL the isuzu D44s were torn apart and the r&p gears gone. Jeep guys like to use them.
Instead of a hybrid 12bolt/d60, if I wanted to spend big money, I would go with some Atomic Axles..

Nah, you still got cv's...might as well stick with the IFS! Now a nice set of spider 9's on the other hand.

I've had the same thought about that show. How awesome would it be for them to go hog wild on a VX? That guy is talented, but of course a million bucks worth of tools and equipment will help anybody look good. I miss Jesse though.Man I just need Ian and the Xtreme 4x guys to come build me my dream VX!

Much larger and stronger cv's though. And the angle is fixed so no extreme angles where cv's usually break.

I wrote to those guys about 18 months ago....
...offered them the "Astral" VX I picked up from Atlanta with the blown tranny.Man I just need Ian and the Xtreme 4x guys to come build me my dream VX!
I offered to hook them up with parts "sponsorship" etc from Indy/OME-ARB / Clamini etc....and to put some $$'s into the project.
Never heard a word back from them......
