sorry about being off-topic.

You need one, or just want one? I think you just buy them from Desert Racing Concepts themselves.

I just checked the website. Good place to remember.

 

well, that absolutely sucks...only up to 4.56's are available for the 10.50 (which i already knew), but 5.38's for the 11.50!! anybody wanna swap axles??

 

DRC had a shop in San Diego do their trusses, at least Greg Boardman did, as well as Kroeker. I got their shops name through Boardman and went down to meet the owner quite awhile back. The shop is called Differential Systems and owned by Jason Hughes. (619) 298-3568. Hope this helps.

 

/\ Thank You

 

You do need one, I bent my front axle housing on the first trip to the Silver lake Sand dunes in Michigan. The dealer had a hard tme figuring out why the front spiders gears kept getting torn up. I got a call from them asking if I was ever jumping my truck. I just told them "I didn't do anything that my top of the line 45k truck shouldn't handle". They replaced it under warranty. I found out from DRC that the front diff is a known weak point for serious off roading. I thought they Quouted me around $800 for laser cut steel parts that you weld onto your axle tubes and center section. Have fun, Ten feet in the air sounds cool.

 

Pic's pleaseee. ... Video Preferred!!

 

Wow. $800 sounds pretty darn salty for that. It looks like you could get a piece of 2" x 6" x .250" thick mild steel (or even .125") and spend a few hours with some cardboard templates and some saw's/ grinders/ and a welder and there you have it. Even if you spend the money for the nice lazer cut parts I am sure it will need some "final fit grinding" done anyway. I am a pretty handy guy with all those tools though. But anyone with some safety glasses and a few hours could make that. If your not a welder find someone that is. And do little bits at a time as to not warp the axle from heat.

 

Make it...you have a steel shop IIRC?
