Drool Factor on High
« on: November 13, 2009, 06:06:27 AM »
DROOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL

Can't imagine what they're charging for these.  But sure would be nice to have the bottom of the diff at the center of the wheels....

Incase you get the research bug: Atomic Axles, by Overkill Engineering



Also DROOL, the rig is still TOTALLY level, AKA, it could flex MORE than that.  It's front sway bar is still connected.



Also, is that an ATLAS up --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------there ^^^ ?

I need to win the lottery.  Speaking of, you know what would go REAL nice with all that up there?

a 6.1 HEMI, that's what.

I think that's the ORE "lever" system. A coil-over plus an overload shock on each corner, air bumps, and you don't even have to cut into the tub to install it all.  :o

Yeah, you'd probably need a Hemi to get a JK up to speeds where you'd need that much in the way of shock absorption  ;D



That's like a portal axle...without the portals? I'd imagine that it's also skipping the additional reduction of portal axle ends. What's inside? A shaft on each side and some U-joints?
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Stak's are 2 or 3 speeds vs an Atlas with 2 or 4 right?

And yeah, that's ORE's EVO Lever in the rear running two pair of King's.  They are using the King bumpstops too, Mel told me before you can run the rear and front without them, it can just get a LITTLE more bone jarring if you decide to jump the thing too high.  He did say that if you're crawling stuff you could just ride without them for a while and see how it goes for you.  He said that's assuming you're running the dual-pair setups, as the triple bypass shock gives you a more adjustability and buffering.

The axles I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they do accomplish it with CV's instead of Portal-Tek's.  Price wise I think I'd rather swap CV joints than Portals, but a trail repair could get ridiculous.
