I reckon. What's the go joshy boy?

[31zook]

Waiting to here back from the axle spliner...

[Highway-Star]

I'm trying to contact the gentlemen who made the axles for our LJ's for the Jimny guys. He is currently off the radar (major bummer, as I wanted him to come wheeling with us yesterday too ). If you Jim guys are in a hurry you might be best to search around for some one who can do them quickly for you?

[monley]

Thanks mate

Going to call overkilleng (as there the only place I know that makes custom axles) on Tuesday and ask about prices. I would love to have two prices to compare tho.

Got a quote for $150 per CV from LROR. So $300 for CVs so far...

They quoted me $100 each about 8 months ago, maybe the $150 includes shipping?

Is there any spare super LJ shafts still hanging around anywhere?

That $100 included shipping from memory (though that has failed me already...)

Some chromo ones (not sure about hy-tuf). I'll be grabbing 2 more to go with a pair of chromos I pillaged from a Sierra I wrecked recently. I'll message you when I find out what is still around.

$700 plus postage. HyTuff axles, Sierra Chromo CVs. Suit normal Jimny front diff. And needs a FWH spacer I'm getting made up as we speak.

[SierraDan]

Good job mate!

[gregc]

so these axels will be 22 spline at the diff end and 26 at the cv end right?

[Gwagensteve]

Let it go Greg. Denial is just a river in Egypt.

Steve

[SierraDan]

Yep..

I'm happy either way Stevie.

Confirming that a Double Tough CV will fit in the Jimny front end is a big win already.

Obviously you and I thank that 22 splines is not enough, but its all still a giant leap forward for all Jimny owners!

No doubt the bigger CVs will have a negative affect on fuel economy though

[SierraDan]

I think the hytuff will do the job. Obviously not as strong as the 26 spline.. but just don't be stupid and it will do just fine.
With my chromos i happily sit there going lock to lock on rock warming up the tyres and trying to find traction. If he doesnt do things like that, it should be fine.

[zooky08]

these axles be alot better the the stock ones. So Even if thee not 26 spline, they'll atleast be better the originals.
If I get these hyTuff axles I won't back down. If they break I'll buy another set. No point buying them if you ain't going to give them a good run. Ill put money on it, that Hub bolts or r&p will go before these axles.

[31zook]

HyTuff, is 50% stronger then chromo anyway.

I have 3 names this far, PM me if your keen.

Monley
Mud_muncher

Does that mean its 50% more brittle or allows 50% more flex?

[tanshi]

Its the stuff they used in rover heavy duty axles.

Okie doke. Im betting if anyone breaks a 22spline it will be mud muncher or 31zook.
So if either of them do so, then it's a carton

I'm sure I'll be giving u a carton straight away. The way they drive but I ment myself if I broke one, I don't drive like a softy either

[SierraDan]

That doesn't count.. I could not break CVs on 37's if I was driving on Speed bumps in Coles car parks... but that's not really a test.

[zooky08]

Not mine either

[31zook]

Back on track boys...
