Weekly pic 'contest'!

[ColoradoRaptor]

I am actually considering selling my built axles to fund the build of a set of 6 lug axles...6 on 8.75...just depends how these axles hold up to the 43sx stickys I want to throw on come tax time .

If I dive into a set of built axles again it will be Unimog 404's! :gee:

Are the 404s the smaller ones I think the bigger one are the 406..

The 404 is rated somewhere around 2.5 tons and the 406 around 4 tons. the 404 mostly have a 7.56:1 gearing. the 406 could have as low as 5.30:1ish as a "fast axle" option to the more common 6.50:1 and up around the 7.50:1 I believe as well.

Not sure about the 404 but the 406 has selectable lockers factory...404s probably as well. If I was to do them I would go 406 the extra beef means hardly a chance of breaking and unimog axle parts are expensive ...lol...the ground clearance would be insane on 44-49s

They both have the selectable cable locker or atleast from what I understand. 2.5 tons is more than enough beef for me :spin1: but if I can find a smoking deal on the 4 ton...... :cheers:

I'd like to resurrect this.
So far pics of really clean rigs and 1-tonxj's big ass rig in the snow have drawn most attention. Would love more pics.

You had a Jeep????

I thought you hung out here just to show off your stinky waders.:eyes:

 

[riverfever]

Yes sir. That was probably when it was still 3" and 31's. That was my first time really going off road. Learned a lot that day.

The stinky waders are just a bonus for you guys.
