Is that your new front axle for the Cruiser?

[Dick Foster]

It will have those front and rear. Wheeeee!!!!!!!

[CronusTRD]

Portals...

groovy.

Don't even want think what they set you back.

[Dick Foster]

I don't have them yet but it's not as much as one might think. Depending on do dads a regular axle set (steering front/straight rear) rings the register at about 7.5K. And, IMHO that is a hell of a lot more bang for the buck than the typical D60 shit. D60's are way oversold. That is totally custom mind you with 9" centers, disk brakes and all. I'll probably drop 10 into the axles but when you set down and take a good hard look at it, it's not too shabby of a deal.

Functional Bling Dick...

[Dick Foster]

Do they look gold to you? No they are not. Functional bling in one thing but things like Dean's bling bling strobes is another.

[Dick Foster]

For this kind of shit, you gotta pay to play. I don't have any rich relatives either but tell me more about your sister. Got any nude pics? LOL

[Reebles]

can I have it?

[Dick Foster]

Have what?

[Dick Foster]

It would be good to see you again John. I won't wheel in the winter but we can have a few brews. Are you gonna shoot for Moab? I know it's a pretty long hike for you but Moab is so much fun.

you ALWAYS have to bring that up dont you :)

[Dick Foster]

:D Yes, it's because you personify bling, I guess.

Hmm, would one of those work in a Taco? :D

[calamaridog]

Pretty cool stuff considering most of the good wheeling places will be shut down before that setup fails you.

[Dick Foster]

With enough time and money, almost anything can be achived. LOL

[Dick Foster]

In that case, I come down to SoCal and ramp some cars at the shopping malls. Wheeeee!!!

[jrizman]

dunno dick, i have to live on less money now :( but it should pay off later!

for sure, ill be in the bay area for a few days!

[snowchucker]

HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!

[Dick Foster]

Yeah it's getting a little more pronounced as the the years pass. Guess I'll have to take it off and straighten it some day. It's a good damn thing it's bolted on so I can do that huh?

[Dick Foster]

Shows what you know, dummy. The outer tube is bent so it wouldn't matter if it were bolt on or weld on it would still be bent. I guess I didn't put enough spacers in the design. If I ever make up another set I'll add two spacers. Gold is soft and bends like crazy, if you had any, you'd know that. On the other hand, nickle plate on stainless then gold plating over that could be a solution. Hummmm, LOL

[Dick Foster]

Don't just stand there with that smirk on your mug. Did you get that bolt on design done?
