INSANE ones. :;

Milled Dynatrac.

If they're milled on the bottom of the tube too, that's stupid.......cool if not though.:awesomework:

Nice work Clark's machine.

Fluted tubes, just for fun.

Any benefits or just cool?

They are milled all around. I don't think it is a good idea and Dynatrac doesnt do it any more. It looks neat and Dean is adding trusses so it will be strong.


This TJ is :bling: but in a good way.

The fluted tubes aren't something Dynatrac did, that was all Dean.

And supposedly it makes 'em stronger, but mostly it's just to look cool.

Dynatrac did the centers, I remember now. Dean had the tubes done later because he didn't know what the width was going to be.

My rear is fluted also.. wasn't planned that way, he just had a set of tubes that were cut incorrectly for another project, but worked out perfect for my rear:

Ken shupe had dynatrac centers with milled tubes nearly 10 years ago. His didn't stay straight and either will those

Roomer is flutes add surface area, which add strength. But on axle tubes, it just doesnt look as tough to me.
But they do look cool.

Bitch, cum flute my tube!

Dean's will absolutely stay straight. The back one (pictured) is nowhere near completed. If someone has a pic of the front, you'll see is well reinforced.

edit... and Crazy's pic of a front end is from a different rig. That's NOT the same rig as the pic of the back shock/coilover brackets that Clark cut for Dean

Re read my post..... its not speculation, its real world proof:stirpot:

Cutting into the axle tube does not add strength. Adding ribs on the outside would.

Dean's front end:

His axles are huge too. He said he would give me that front for 12K :redneck:
