ColoradoRaptor

I just picked up an axle from ColoradoRaptor yesterday. He was nice enough to meet me halfway and took the time to explain everything about the axle - any potential issues, its history, etc. Heck, he and his buddy even loaded it into my heep for me! Oh, and he let the thing go for more than a fair price. I wouldn't hesitate to buy something from him again! :thumbup:

I'll say he did -- price out replacing all the brake hardware for that Isuzu axle and find out what a deal you got!:cheers:

I can't remember who picked up my Zuzu axle. It wasn't you was it Chris? I don't think it was at least.

It was, and it remains locked and running under my rig!atriot:

Ah yes, I do remember now. The was the first encounter. I believe I was off of Caley Ave back then, back when I still had the "collection". Didn't you try to sell it at some point?

I don't remember the whole deal, but you gave me your unique late-70's highpinion/kingpin housing and the Zuzu D44 for a song. I traded the front housing for a complete Waggy D44, and somehow I ended up with an extra Zuzu D44 housing (I have no recollection WTH I got it), that I sold for $100. I have no idea where you lived, since you were cool enough to deliver to me in HR. I regeared both axles to 4.30, aussie locked the rear, LS the front, cobbled together my junk-yard-radius arm suspension (using Mitsubishi arms donated by LED), and have been enjoying it all (except the aussie) since!:eyes:

Back on topic -- SO, a $50 Zuzu housing is a screaming deal.:sunshine:

It's all coming back to me now. The Zuzu and Hp Kp 44 went to you. The bolt-in Dodge rear 60 went to some kid on CO4x4 for his TJ . The 9" housing and shafts went to some kid in Evergreen for his Comanche build. I sold the geared/detroit 3rd to 's "themud" for his buddy's Bronco. And the desirable Ford Hp 44 now resides under the 2008 giveaway XJ.........irate1:

I've read that the brakes get pretty cashy. Add in the 6 on 5.5 to 5 on 4.5 spacer/adapters he included and I really made out like a bandit. I told him as much too. I've made a lot of purchases I later didn't feel very good about, this time I'm VERY happy.

Thanks Josh!! Looking forward to wheelin with ya sometime!

Thanks for the awesome deal on the head raptor! and also thanks for delivering it and the gears/carrier for me and xjboy!

Great guy to deal with A+ seller
