300M pieces

[luvrox]

So Dave, how'd it go at CTM today? Did Richard nut up for the discount price on 3 sets of 300M stubbs or is he still in the "I have only broke allot of Spicer 30 spline crap so the 33 spline SPICER CRAP should be OK"? Was Jack still pi$$ed at me about the Longfield birfs when ya got there today ? :D :D

My checkbook and I will be there tomorrow. Yes, Richard is on board for a set.
The spicer 33 spline stuff might work with 37. But as we all know 37 might not last for long.
I'm sure the 300M stubs are as strong or stronger than a 35 sline 4130 stub.

Ok Homer I think I understand, some here have no idea what a High 9 with 300M is with relationship to wheeling or for that matter even life in general. :D :D :D

[Weasel]

300m vs. 4130? Not even close if done right 300M should be considerably stronger.

[MogifiedXJ]

oh I think I understand, some here have no idea what a High 9 with 300M is with relationship to wheeling or for that matter even life in general. :D :D :D

It's got nothing to do with a high nine w/ 300m shafts and their realtionship to the wheeling world...

Your original post has nothing to do with advanced fab. You were asking Dave how'd it go at CTM and if Jack was still pissed at you...Something you could have done via a pm or by posting up in off topic. Where it belongs, oe maybe I'm just missing something.

it was a lead in to what some very dedicated XJ people are doing on their highly advanced rigs.:twak:

Alright, I really didn't mean anything personal by it. Maybe it wasn't my place to say anything. Now back on topic with your-all's highly advanced rigs.

but imagine if you could fit that whole thing inside your front axle... that would have to be strong... right?

[Goatman]

Any discussion about Jeep parts custom made by a CNC machine out of 300M is advanced tech. Looks like I just can't resist............. :)

However, I don't currently have 33 spline Spicer stubs, they are 33 spline Dutchman/Tera stubs and are 1541, which would be similar in strength to 35 spline Spicers. AND, I've never broken a 30 spline Spicer stub........I've broken 4340 19 spline D44 stubs. :D

So how much stronger is 300M supposed to be than 1541 or 4340? I assume a 300M 33 spline stub will be as strong as a 4340 35 spline stub.....or stronger?

Damn, now I also have to pony up for a pair of CTM's. There goes my air bumps for the front. :D

[GSequoia]

Are you allowed to cut it up and reconfigre the shreddings or does it have to go in in that shape :puke:

Seems like you might lose a tad of ground clearnce over, say, an underside trussed tractor trailer axle with 30" x 9.50" tires.

The way I see it:
With 4340 you leave your spare in the trailer box, with 300M you don't have a spare.

Greg,

Have you broken 4340 stubs? I managed to break a Spicer 35 spline stub, but I'm pretty sure it was actually a bearing failure. I'm now running one 4340 stub, probably gonna step up to all 4340's soon(still running neck down inners).

[David Taylor]

No unit bearing option.

[David Taylor]

So I went over to CTM today. Turns out they are only about 12 miles from my house. It is some operation. Several large CNC machines hard at work on chunks of 300M. Jack is a super nice guy and spent 45 min with me showing off all kinds of cool stuff and talking about the new stub shafts. Paul, Richard and myself now have some on order. These will allow for 44 degree turn. Nice and sharp. He had one on hand and it really is a piece of art work. Unfortunately it will be approximately 8 weeks before I have one to take pics of.
He also showed off some new 1550 front stuff that makes 60's look like an old 260 size joint. Don't even want to think how much that stuff runs, and some 40 spline inners for his own rig. Hard to imagine how big this stuff is till you hold it in your hand.

Can ya say Brinell? :wow:

[Fred]

Just thought I'd post this for those of us who don't spend a lot of time thinking about steel alloys:

300M is a low alloy, vacuum melted, steel of very high strength. Essentially it is a modified AISI 4340 steel with silicon, vanadium and slightly greater carbon and molybdenum content than 4340. 300M has a very good combination of strength (280 to 305 ksi), toughness, fatigue strength and good ductility. It is a through hardening alloy.

There ya go for a 1550 comparison, Sunray has been making the 1550 for a while and also make a 1610 front assembly. BTW thats a sunray 1550 vs a sunray d60 vs a stock d60 stub

I'm assuming you have to remove the knuckle to install those things..............though I guess it doesn't matter much since you should never have to replace them.

Nice.

I've been eyeing Sunray's 1550 junk for a few months now. Everytime I do my wallet slaps me like a box of rocks. Maybe because that's what's in it.

Any hints on the knuckles? Sunray goes out of my league because everything is new and I wouldn't feel right if I didn't have a few pasture parts on it.

Now lugie, the onlything that would make your posts more advanced if you got pics of you peeing on their bling parts. :D

That's why it didn't break. I had a mexican tell me once that it will harden metal just like curing leather, but you have to drink the good stuff.

I bet Bighardon did break one. I've come to the conclusion that if he can't break it with the skinny peddle he'll find someway to damage so it does. That way he can justify the extreme bling. Fawk I'm jealous.

Well I work in Weatherford about 5 miles from Lances outfit over at Sunray. If you guys have any questions or want to see some more detailed pics of the 1610 :) and 1550 send me a pm and we can exchange numbers.

[BIGWOODY]

yes, One full set of 4340's on the short side and the stub on the other side. This past weekend I ripped about 5" of the teeth on the HP60 ring gear, the shafts didn't break and niether did the lockright. In high gear, 6300 rpms, verticle wall, 400hp LS1, something had to give I guess...but hey, I was the only one to even attempt the line and I made it...it was just expensive. I wouldn't be worried about 4340 stuff in your front end.

Parts are under way. Stopped in today for a look.

To each his own. I'd rather work on mine in the garage, but I have absolutely no problem with someone like yourself who wants to have the most fun for the least money. I've fixed mine on the trail many, many, many times. I'm done with that if possible.

Half a dozen that could afford those? Maybe, but there's half a dozen of us that are getting them right now. :)

[vetteboy]

Well, 300M or not, the Dana 60 stuff is nothing to sneeze at.

I'm running Spicer D60 u-joints and Spicer D60 shafts (35 spline inner, 30 outer). Those joints alone give me a lot more confidence, because I was breaking 760x joints almost every time out. Now I can do my front digs with pride.

I would rather work on mine in the garage too. Trail breakage sucks. That's why I don't run with anyone bigger than 35's and a D44 anymore.

Pay to play, man. It's been said, but you've got three criteria: cheap, big, and reliable. And you only get to pick two. Choose wisely.

Ha I live closer than you! I live down the street on 78th and el camino and I pass his shop every morning on the way to work.

I got the grand tour as well when I dropped off averys 69 for shaft measurements.

I gotta convince jack to let me work a few hours every afternoon after I get off work for a set of 300m d60 joints.

I noticed he was using his ujoints as shifter knobs on his atlas.........that's insane.

After seeing longfields crap and jacks product and all the workmanship that jack puts into every piece, its a no brainer.

Longfields are half the price for a reason. When I held them side by side with a ctm I could see that I'd rather pay for the best and that's ctm.

Oh and that 300m candy apple looking thing looks ghey. Clicking metal makes usually means something is wearing and fast too......

Are those Paule's? I know they are running Jacks 1550 stuff and their new axles are spidertrax with Hih-9's. They just did a TJ and got 56 deg from the steering, the ones for the buggy should be 60deg.

I'm not sure. He said they were for somebody who just bought the buggy.
I think they were in getting rebuilt. Jack said the bushings take alot of wear at the high
angle.

[Lincoln]

Those things give me a woody. :D

Probably Paule's since there's were done a while back. Here is the story I got from Jason.

F650 knuckles to clear the massive yokes. F650's still use a D60 style yoke though. :confused1

Spidertrax is working on their knuckles to accept a 1550 yoke and use the regular 250/350 Ford unit bearing.

That's all I have, so I must go squirt on myself now.

[vetteboy]

Very pretty.

So is the larger area near the splines for the seal surface? Regardless, why not forego a little bit of machining process and leave it that diameter all the way down?

I'm well famailiar with stress risers at transitions, and I realize that the minor diameter at the splines is still the smallest point and most susceptible to twist...just wondering why they're built that way.

So you don't twist splines?

[vetteboy]

In a front D30 axle, I've broken 7 u-joints without harming any splines. On a D44 front axle I've broken 2 stock shafts before anything else showed any damage.

In my rear, I was recently informed that the stock XJ D44 I sold to JoeShmoe on here had some twist on one of the shafts. I think I have the cause on video, because I remember watching it and thinking wow, that rear axle really loaded up there...

All I'm wondering is what's the point, because it looks like the remainder of the shaft was turned down after the seal surface. Dana did this same thing on the earlier stock D60 35-spline inners and later kept the same diameter out to the spindle bearing instead of bringing the diameter down.. Just wondering why they were made this way is all.

These guys are weight freaks (no offense). Probably has something to do with saving a few ounces to keep the front end light.

Every little bit helps, I guess...

(my rig is the antithesis of weight savings)

Since it's been quoted and I can't edit it anymore, I'll just mention that where I said "spindle bearing" before, I really meant just to the yoke end of the inner shaft.

Looks like I'll be swapping axles after this weekend.

:D


When you have chromo axles and CTM's in the front, it makes me wonder about those semi-float 1541 axles in the back (except farmerboy, and Cliff). I guess it just means you're NEVER going to break a front axle.

Opps! I used that word....... :)

[xDUMPTRUCKx]

theyve been broken. ive seen the evidence.

v8 power....well if you call a stroked ls7 power.........
44s a huge undercut and a rock pinning the top of the guys rig broke a 14 bolt 300m shaft. when the tires arnt moving that 5-600 horses has to go somewhere.

210* of twist.

jack explained to me his reasoning for the extra removed material and it has to do with taking the stress off of the splines. 300m can twist ALOT and twisted splines would render the shaft useless. ill ask him again so I wont look like an ass explaining it wrong.

[QUOTE=David Taylor]update:

Inners are done.

Well Dave, I don't think I need to worry about Leilani asking about all the checks I wrote for these things, I'm sure once I show them to her she'll understand & agree that it was $ well spent, sexy...:D

I've been thinking the same thing about the rears. I want to upgrade to CTM's, but not without building a new Spidertrax housing at the same time, but then it just turns into a whole nother project.

For the ultimate in strength they need to be painted either green or yellow...

From what I remember seeing, that green and yellow crap breaks.

:looser:

Does this really belong in advanced fab??? Seems more like chit ie non-tech/off-topic...

:dunno:

Post police, watch out!!:piratefla

I'm sure these guys appreciate you butting your nose where it doesn't belong. It's nice to know that you are always watching over us.:smootch:

After seeing longfields crap and jacks product and all the workmanship that jack puts into every piece, its a no brainer.

Longfields are half the price for a reason. When I held them side by side with a ctm I could see that I'd rather pay for the best and that's ctm.

Oh and that 300m candy apple looking thing looks ghey. Clicking metal makes usually means something is wearing and fast too......
I just bought some candy apple red joints...

'cuse i like the color :D




So uhhhhh Ben....

What chassis are you going to use for your big axles?

Where are your bling pictures?

I'd like to know where the boy is at too. He has my spare transmission and the one in my rigs starting to slip. I gotta rebuild my transfer case in the next month and wanted to swap out aw4's at the same time..
