Is this bitch ready to wheel yet?

On hold due to Front Range being Long Range (they make my full float conversion kit).

This build is awesome, can't wait to see some pics of it on the trail. I can only dream about a rig like this.

I don't guess you've heard about his diamond axle fiasco as of late, he's taking the better part of a year to turn out housings.

What happened? If I knew it was going to take this long, I would have explored machining options.

Cut the last inch or so off of these (have two OE spares):

Jig up and weld these puppies on to these:

Order some axles and seals and call it good.

Sounds like a lot of work but if the long pole is broken, it may be a good option to get the Pig on the trail.

Oh no, you know I would have liked to but I have to be careful with cash right now.

I was just saying I may have to make my own "full float" kit.

As far as I know the only thing he has been taking for ever in building are the actual housings, apparently he does almost everything in that shop by himself. Doesn't ever hurt to call and see where your orders at.

I have two RA housings - I'm waiting for a full float kit from them. I am a couple of days away from saying 'f' it and just use chromo TG axles.
