Few spy shots for you guys... the axle tubes are ridiculous!

what are the kingpins? custom units? then do they accept 60 knuckes?

youngbuk · May 18, 2008

plan on using solid...for the money and the shear block and 6 bolts plan on using them..should be the key to fixing 60s ring gear problem.

I'm sorry, what? Maybe I'm tired and cant read but that read to me like bible bang, holla' throw.

Are you saying they are Solid "C"s and then using Solid Knuckles with the Solid 6-bolt steering arm? If so then I understand.

yes sir

I guess I speak fluent Tennesseeian because I understood all that perfectly the first time. ;D

I can't tell because of the RICKY B PHOTOGRAPHY.COM logo. But is it sleeved and welded into the housing then ground down to give it that clean look?

All I see is words where the axle is, kinda hard to see what the picture is of..........

Okay, I'll go change some settings and get the tag moved. :

They look like the Crane inners.

That looks nice. WMS made a bunch of those years ago for those monster Jeeps thye used to build. I look forward to seeing the inner axles on these.

It does not seem like this could save any weight over a Rockwell though. I know the packaging is so much easier with these than toploader's though.

Really, you don't think so? I thought that huge third member/bull gear thing in a rockwell weighed a few hundred pounds. Surely having just a ring and a pinion with no removable third member is lighter. Isn't it?

I love these.... The WMS one's are / were the ****. Nothing like big huge axles. ( outside of RW's ) :flipoff1:

I'm pretty damn sure a rockwell is a shat ton heavier... maybe not the housing ut the center section of a rockwell is about as heavy as rosie o'donnel

as P would say
sweet as hell
custom as ****

Dunno. I have never personally done it, but I have seen lots of comparisons over the years with a steering D60 versus a steering Rockwell and the Rockwell lovers all come up with about a 150# difference. That 14b might not make up the entire 150# difference, but it will be close.

Myself, I would rather have that 14B or a D80 over a Rockwell any day.

I find that hard to believe... those mother****ers are heavy!!!

I take rock thirds out with a hoist. 14's are light as ****. housing are about the same. I agree nolen, the #'s all come up about $150 AFTER you ditch the drums on the rock and go to a 12# pinion brake. run some vented outers with wilwoods on that 14 and see how light you are. BTW, I'm doing a 14 about 1/4 done with rock shafts and stubxstub for the short side. with a stock long and stub the wms ends up 3.5" narrower than a stock 60 :woody:
