If your building a truck, be it for towing or the trail, it’s nice to have a pair of tough axles under your rig. The May 2007 Four Wheeler’s shows you how to do just that. It’s an axle and gears month!
Apparently you’re nothing unless your rolling on a Dana 60 and a 14-bolt. I’d love to find the forest where these things grow because everyone has them. Or so they say. Anyway, there is a nice feature on Randy’s Ring and Pinion’s new axles, 35-spline lockout hubs and gears.
Will freezing your gears help them last longer? Read all about it on an article on Cryogenic gear treatment. There is also a buyer’s guide on gears and lockers.
The Four Wheeler guys take their Mega Titan project over the Rubicon. Looks like it held up quite well but when do I get my 46" Claws? All the new and pretty trucks are shown the 2007 North American International Auto Show and there is a quick look at the new 2008 Porsche Cayenne Turbo SUV. At $90,000+ it ain’t cheap but you get what you pay for, if you can afford it!
There is a way too short article on Robby Gordon’s Dakar test. How much fun can one person have?
