Update !
I had a **** time with my front axle this weekend. Won't get into details but I basically have to start over everything.
That's a 13+ road trip for nothing. Still got to hang out with friends but it was definitely frustrating.
It was time to start thinking and getting a plan together. Quick.
So glad I can count on amazing guys to help me out ! The offroad family is definitely the best if there was any doubt !
There is a custom 14bolt front being built by Jake today, it's shipping this evening. He started working on it during his weekend. Best customer service ever !
Bought new spicer C's to work with the outer 05+ SD knuckles and the 3.5" OD of the tubing. (Spicer 2023561)
Have a new knuckle being machined for highsteer (huge thanks to D9marko for dropping one of his stock knuckles at the shop and saving me a 3h trip in 1ft of snow, man you rock !)
Artec truss with pinion tie-in is ordered too.
Positive point is that now I will have a 40sp 14 bolt which will make sense with the RCV BigBells.
Negative point is that whatever little money I had left is gone so the buggy has a more than limited chance to be completed in time for spring riding. I need to start selling **** I have to bring some money in.
Now I only hope I didn't **** up my measurements and everything will work as planned. Fingerz crossed.
Hey Bebop,
How have those Spicer 2023561 inner C's worked out for you?
Picking up two 05+ 60's tomorrow. My though is if i order those C's, i can rob the knuckles off the SD 60's without trashing the housings and sell the housings. Save me time and money in machine work too since those 2023561's have the correct bore for a 3.5" fabbed housing already.
Based on pictures, it looks like that "Ultimate" C is a little thinner in the upper portion vs. an actual SD60 inner C.
Thanks!
