Coming up to Speed With Grubbicon

Grubbicon said:
Thanks man and not sure if I have said anything about my plan or not honestly but ill be honest I dont have much of a plan yet lol. Ive talked to a guy that made clearance by stretching the rear 2inches. My axle is already supposed to be a inch back because of the RK long arm. So my thinking is if 2inches will do it a inch and a sledge hammer will work lol. If that doesnt work ill ether put a 2dr gas tank in it like artec suggests or put a full cell in the back.

Break out the BFH!
 
Ended up not messing with the axles much yesterday. I ended up helping my brother work on a Toyota most of the day.

A BFH has been my best friend lately. Kinda had fun beating the hell out of metal lol.
 
Hey Grub I love the axels! Now I might have missed it already but what are they off of? And will they be put on your JKU? Just curious because I really want to do some upgrades with my axels and I'm trying to debate whether or not to save up and get a PR or just go another avenue.

Thanks man. I cant tell you exactly what year truck they came out of but they are out of a 05 to present f250 or f350srw. I do believe in 2011 or something like that started putting some elockers in the rear of someone of them, however mine is not one of those. These will be going in my JKU using the Artec mounts. Personally I really like the PRs but I dont see spending the money on them when I can do it much cheaper.

EDIT: Its also worth mentioning you can use the 99-04 f250 or f350srw axles as well but if you were to go that route you would have to make sure you get a d60 front and not a d50. A good bit of those were d50s. I do believe in 03 there was no more d50 but no promises on that. I also will say they are hard to spot the difference unless you know what your looking at because they share the same housing.

Thanks Grub! Yeah man I love the PR's but I'm just trying to look at different alternatives to see if I can get the same effect with saving a little bit of cash too. Thanks for the info man really appreciate it

You should also mention how wide this thing is going to be! [emoji23]

My numbers were based off of what Scott said, so don't shoot me. But, if the axles themselves are 6' wide, I'd say 7+ is very possible. Maybe I'm not thinking correctly here.

I'd say he will be a little over 7 feet, if he gets to 8 feet he would be about to wide for a lot of trails I would think

Well my thinkin was 72" if what I'm sayin the width is with a 3.5 BS you get " added which is 81" from wheels edge to wheel edge (I'm personally going 4.5 which makes it 79") then you could say the tires stick out 1.5" outside the wheel making it somewhere around 82" wide (if I buy the same tires and my wheels are as wide as scotts it would make them exactly 7ft) so I guess it could be 7+ but you'd need some wide as tires or less BS obviously

Agreed. Im thinking a little over 7' is a guarantee, based on the picture of Moby going through the 86" gates at Barret Lake.

Haha hell yea bud!!!! I'm aiming to be around 80" wide. You could get some 15.50 tires and be stupid wide lol
 
Yeah that might be just a little wider than I was planning but I'll figure something out. Hell a 7+ ft width might not look bad on a stretched 2 door... Then again it would probably look ridiculous

Well I have a 2 door and I'm aiming to be 80" wide which should make me pretty damn stable, and look cool lol. I'm stretching mine too, the stretch will come later though
