The Super 14 is back on the market!
As many of you have heard or seen, the Super 14 is back and back in a big way, Torq Axle, the company behind the manufacturing and re-release of the Super 14 has units on the shelf, you can order one and actually get one this time.
They are offering the Super 14 in many different variations to fit your build needs and progress.
The Builder Kit: comes with a Super 14 3rd member, pinion support, Torq axle housing, adj. nuts, shims & ARB tab. Price: $2,645.00
The Fabricator Kit: comes with the 3rd member and all the hardware parts needed, but instead of a housing, this kit comes with a 1/4" housing faceplate template. This kit is for the fabricator who wants to build their own housing. $1,985.00
Yes, you read that right, if you think you are the ace fabricator and want to try your hand at building your own housing, this is the kit for you. If you wanted to go ultra lightweight you could even use the 1/4" faceplate template as the faceplate for your custom housing. Torq recommends a 3/8" faceplate for an axle designed to take this much load.
Of course what about buying just a 3rd member? Torq Axle has you covered there too.
Super 14 3rd member: comes with a Super 14 3rd member, pinion support, adj. nuts, shims & ARB tab. Price: $1,950.00
You guys all know I follow the new axle trends very closely and always try to help push companies to develop cool new products and when I heard the rumor that the Super 14 tooling had been picked up by a newly formed company, I started doing a little checking on them and even paid them a visit in SLC a couple months ago to see exactly what they had going on.
When I visited them they had bare castings on the shelf and a couple housings built, but not finalized, over the last couple months they got the machine shop up to speed and are now on their second run of 3rds and housings.
In talking with the guys at Torq, their big push is make sure the product is on the shelf and rolling out the door as fast as possible. My first Super-14 left yesterday via UPS Ground and is supposed to here tomorrow. I'll update this post with pics when it gets here.... :cool2:
The other thing that I though was pretty cool was their openness on housings; there isn't one favored housing builder you have to buy a housing from. You can buy their housing, you can buy a housing from Roughstuff or you can even buy the fabricator kit and get a faceplate template so you can build your own housing.

SO let's just say you want one of these bad boys and you want it right away.... jump on the web, go to www.torqaxle.com and order one up.
BUT before you close out the order, make sure you add in this special discount code: Pirate 4x4.
That's right, add Pirate 4x4 into the discount code box and Torq will give you an extra 5% off your order! :beer:
You can also buy them from me and you'll get the same PBB 5% discount. I don't have a discount code section you can type into on my web site so you'll need to give me a ring. But that's a good thing, we can then talk about all the other things to help build your Super-14 into a real kick-ass axle:
40 Spline Air Lockers or spools
40 spline spindles & hubs
4340 or 300m axle shafts
Front axle build
