Fawk that, time to see what my new race case Atlas can handle. After this, I don't know what else is left to let go :****:

He hates to party. I feel sorry for this new front axle. It's gonna take a beating. He's got months of rust to knock off to get back to his drive by braille style. Damn lake life will do that to ya.

sorry if it was already posted but what are you doing for the third pinion bearing?

Alot of guys are suggesting to run a bronze bushing in there but no one has come up with a source yet just say that it's what the tractor pull guys are doing????

Not messing with it unless it fails. Never had an issue with the factory bearing. I am running a solid pinion spacer though.

Goodbye old friend. New owner is on the way to pick up today. This axle has been a part of my 4x4 life since I was just getting into the sport about 17 years ago. It has been rebuilt, massaged, and rebuilt again. Almost a little sad to see her go.

520lbs as pictured which is complete minus steering ram and arms. Wanna take bets on what the 14 will weigh? 650?

I finished mine up a couple weeks ago and got to wheel it. I'm sure yours will be a lot heavier.

It's cool to finally see a weight for a well built axle.

Not the route I'm taking obviously but here's an Ouverson setup with brackets for Wilwood calipers.

Sorry on the lack of updates. November is crazy for me work wise. Traveling practically every week of the month but I just got back from my last trip for awhile. Due to the lack of time and the fact that our biggest ride of the year is this coming weekend, I dropped everything off with Nick Sosebee at Sosebee Offroad before I took off on my work trips a few weeks ago. He likes keeping me in suspense so I've seen about as much as you guys have. I was just talking with him tonight and it'll all be ready to go this week so I'll be sure and post a full report on it all. He's building the truss out of all 1/4" with 3/8" brackets. Going to be a heavy bitch but I just like to do hoodrat **** with my friends and not break so who cares. Can't wait to thrash on this bitch.

In the meantime he's a picture of Jessica prepping her buggy last night.
