hey tim,
do you know a price for it? Thanx,Wes

 

[mudferret]

I'll say! I want one. Have been feeling my axle unload quite a bit more recently, not sure if it's the weather...

 

[Timbuddha]

Looks like from his site about $395. Not bad considering with my chevys I feel some axle wrap.

Check it out www.budbuilt.com

Have you greased your slipjoint? That helps quite a bit.

Yeah, it's been freshly greased. Things have cooled down recently though so it may not be slipping as easily as it was before the cool down.

The guy makes nice stuff and has a good rep on the Pirate board.

This looks kind of cool.

I wonder what that clocking does to the driveshaft tho.

 

[Reckelhoff]

That does look nice. Looks like it creates a few more inches of clearance for the tcase. NOt a bad idea.

Clocking has no effect on the rear shaft and raises the front shaft in a clockwise (looking from back to front) manner.

Well I assume since they market and sell it, the effects can't be that bad...if any. I know guys who run clocked cases on other rigs and have never hard problems.

Yeah, but how the hell are you supposed to shift? I'm guessing this is designed around the pushbutton 4wd? My transfer shifter would be pretty useless if I tried to do that...

It's pretty easy to cut and re-weld the shifter in a better location. I have done this before

the shifter is cut off at the top of the case and you have to weld in an adaptor that changes the position of the shifter back to where was originally. They are working on a kit for this.

I have been talking with the guy over email and he seems real nice and quick with his responses.

 

[KStacoma]

GEEEZ he originally quoted me 269 for that trac. bar but i guess that was about 2 months ago and he said he wasn't sure totally of the price. That is a hell of a design though.
