Such a badass build!! Super cool of PSC to hook you up with that MASSIVE box! Hope you guys are in my neck of the woods for the trip! Would be great to see you guys again

Man, that would be great. Timing is really tough though. I was hoping to leave on Monday and take our time but now, we may not be able to leave until Tuesday evening. That'd me we'd have to cannon ball it out there and that would suck. If so, there might be time on the return trip.

Very cool build, especially the PSC install.

What does the shop do with all those OEM parts they take off?

Good stuff gets saved to be sold off later but most ends up going to scrap.

So, right off the bat, I'm actually impressed with what I'm seeing especially for a crate axle. The knuckles are massive and made of iron, the ball joints are big, the brakes are massive and the shafts are HUGE. Up front, they're way bigger than what you can get on other crate axles. While their brackets are a lot beefier, they are only robot welded and so the corners aren't wrapped. This is easily fixable by any reputable shop. Also, while I love how big the front shafts are, I would have preferred they came with full circle clips as opposed to c-clips. When it comes to the battle of the crates, Dana really did well with the UD60 and other companies should feel threatened by it.

Any thoughts on the gearing and 8 speed?

We decided to run 5.38's and so far, I think it's been the right call. :yup:

I won't lie, the JT's are stupid expensive.

Thanks! How's your build coming along? I saw Randy picked his up today.
 
Great video. I’m stoked that you two decided to go big right away. It’s super cool that you tested a lot of different products on Jet Li, but I think going all out on the Gladiator was the right choice.

I’m looking forward to seeing it in action!
