It's just the new drop out 14 bolts. Been out for a little while now. There pretty sick, Jim is building a couple of buggies with them. However they are freaking huge.

Jim's Garage is what Cole was talking about. Those 14b's are made by Solid Axle. PortaTek started the 14b dropout design but went under due to poor business pratices and mgmt. There are few people with the OG14's from PT but it is lots of coin. Solid then copied the design and there were a car or two with them at KOH this year. RuffStuff is making the fabricated housings for them. Jimmy's 4x4 had most of the first 14b dropouts built, and Bent and Twisted is a Jimmy's supplier. They are indeed pimp and allow you to build a lighter 14b. There is a company working on a drop out 60 also, called the 69. They have had production issues but I hear it is close to being done.

Solid then copied the design

*nit picking here*
The thirds are entirely different from front to back, except for the fact that they use 14 bolt parts so they were chained to those parameters. The bolt pattern is different, the way the bearings are housed is different, caps and all are 100% different.
They are pretty badass, I'd like to sell one if they'd release some to me

Anyone know how much a Soild 14 bolt weighs? Kind of hard question to answer as it's likely no two will be the same.

Way too much bling for a swamp buggy, move along.
