Anyone seen these axles yet? I don't really know what to make of them, but they look pretty interesting.

lots of ujoints inside.

there's a trhead on pirate about them with better pics

There was also an article in this months 4Wd and sport utility. Ujoints don't bother me if they are big....Also they run on a fixed plane so they wouldn't be so prone to wearing out.

kinda cool looking...imagine the looks on people's faces when they saw axles like those...

Makes hi pinion vs low pinion discussion moot thats for sure...also solve axle shimning to get the tc to axle angle right... those puppies gotta cost though.

I can imagine that these things are nothing but beef, and just as pricey. They don't seem to be too heavy though. I guess when gears, shafts (or u-joints) and steering is all added, it could be pretty beefy. 5" of clearance over a d60 is pretty impressive though.

Thanks. I saw this thing in JP mag last night, and almost had a heart attack. It looked so innovative, but now that I think about all the u-joints in there, a portal axle seems like the way to go, especially with the price tag of $7k for a rear, and 9.5k for the front. Nuts to that.
