FINALLY got my D60 from Clayton Offroad... damn he does KILLER work...
Some specs... RC HP-D60, Claytons high clearance brackets Dedenbears inners and outers. 3 1/8" tube 1/2" thick. JJ on the both sides for upper control arm mounts. Getting Full Detroit and 5.13 gears.
Yes thats a 2" trac bar mount for a Johnny Joint (included)
Ohhhh pretty
I am swapping out that support gusset for an Iron Cross from BTF, thats why its tacked there.
Here are Claytons Coil buckets for the 14bolt...
Sure has been a long time in the making....

good to see some real axles for a change.. I like the welds and the axle hauler too

Well it could be for something else you know.
I'm at the point now where I think I'm going to run my axles and build an actual buggy instead of wasting my time and money on a unibodied rig. The ZJ does great... but I'd rather keep it as a semi-hardcore wheeler and not hack it all up.

So.... mind if I ask how much that 60 ran you back? You bought it from Clayton?

Looks like the plug welds are missing.

Looks that way but only the front one for apperence. All the rest are there. Clayton has a great way of doing them as well... he runs a drill through the hole and into the tube for a deeper penetrating weld.
And the tubes are fully welded all the way around using a jig that rotates so there are no starts or stops in the weld.

Thats a good point BUT, I have kids and the ZJ is perfect for packing ALL our crap and going where ever it may be. Hardcore is definded differently by everyone, so I have hardcore axles and a hardcore right foot matched with a 5.9 so these were needed. So far Ive killed my D30 counless times and my 8.8 once. All on 33"s mind you...
And now wanting to run some real meats I need to build axles that I can forget about and enjoy wheeling and less wrenching. I guess what Im saying is that its easier for me to spend the $$ rather than keep fixing weak links.
On another note... WHEN I roll my ZJ and its left to a pile of crap, I hope my axles will still have life and they will live on in somthing else... maybe a buggy or TJ whatever it maybe. Time will tell.

on a side note... your fourtrax is currently shating itself with that behemoth of an axle resting on the rear cargo rack...
... on that note, I am definately jealous of it!!!
06-22-2006, 01:03 AM
Yeah that is true AW.
I am just pissed at myself in a way for building a ZJ and not something cheaper and with a frame. I think I wouldn't be so far in debt at this point. I'm actually thinking of selling it to pay off some stuff, but I'd need to get at least 12-15k to not be getting rammed in the ass on the deal.
Oh, plus I hate you for spending like $6k on an axle haha.
You still run swaybars??

YEAH RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Clayton took care of my on this deal.
I have giving Clayton my idea on a steering stablizer and hes making it work with his "anti-rock" for the ZJs. Time will tell for that product.
As for my ZJ, yes FOR SURE keeping swaybars.

Ain't that the truth

I have to say all the guys going full width and blingin' axles is making me rethink my HP30/8.8.
06-22-2006, 09:43 AM
You've still got time to sell them Dirk.
06-22-2006, 09:53 AM
Personally....i'd sell em while they are hot....
I ran hp30/8.8 for < 1 year before moving onto a 9" rear and a future HP44 front (later in the summer/fall)
edit: oh yea, NICE axle!
06-22-2006, 09:55 AM
Sorry to hijack this Jerod.
I am really torn on the axles to be honest. Problem is if I sell them I will just dump that money into getting my stroker all squared away and then I will have no axles, and no money, atleast right now I have axles.
