All,

I have been speaking with the California Warn rep and am setting up a mass buy from them for their front shafts. He can do 44 or 60 shafts, with different spline counts.

He is working on getting pricing for me right now, he should have firm numbers for different quantities by Thursday the 10th. When he gets them to me, I'll post the numbers.

Once he has the numbers, I'll post contact information. Until then, if you are interested, post a message here or send me an email @ jacovert@compucom.com. I want to have this buy assembled and orders in by the end of the month.

Don't post that you are interested unless you 100% are! Assume that the prices will be lower than you can get them anywhere else (if they're not I'll send him back to work a little harder).

The more people that BUY the lower the prices will be. So tell your buddies!

-Jack

Can you find out if Warn would be willing to do custom lengths? They used to but no longer, and I can bet more would be willing to buy if custom lengths could be purchased.

Joe

If they'll include them - I'm in for a set of rear FF FJ40 axles. Might consider the front inner shafts too if they got those.

I just left him a message. I'll let you all know.

-Jack

I didn't know they made Dana 60 shafts. :confused:

I don't have a 60 (wish I did) so I don't know. I mentioned to him that a number there were a mix of people with 44's and 60's and he didn't say anything. When he returns my call about the custom sizes, I'll confirm it with him and post what he says.

-Jack

If the price is right, I'm in for front 44 shafts, inners and outers.

Nice timing....I need them ASAP.

I need part #'s 38808,39461, and two outers 38815.

E-mail me for payment and other details... afecko_99@yahoo.com .

Thanks,

Andy

I am 100% sure i want them, but am waitinf on $$, but if the price is right i can shake down Stacie for some more $$

ill be interested in some alloy's for my waggy 44 front axle :D (for the CTM's)

I am in for inner and outer shafts for my Waggy D44.
Rick

I would go for some D44 inners and outers for a full width 30 spline chevy.

Ill take a set of waggy's for a freinds, YJ build up, if the price is right.

I'd like to get in on that deal. Front chevy 44 fullwidth axles inner and outer complete set. Thanks.

If he's going to provide for custom length shafts, I'm in for D44 inners and outers- if the price is truly bargain.

Im down for a set for my waggy front for sure dude.. Guess i wont be getting any weed this month.........

hell yeahhh, ill take a spare set........ 31 spline ford nine's inners and outters................. just let me know..............

I might be persuaded to go for some Waggy flavored shafts myself, if the price was right...

Thanks,

Jake:D

I'd be intereseted if the price was right aswell
1 pt no. 38790 inner
2 pt no. 39105 outers
(Scout 44)

If I don't go with a 60 right away, I could do the Warn shafts :D :D

How about some warn alloys for a front yj D30? with the 297? Hey, I gotta keep it alive for a while LOL.
Scott

if the price is right then count me in for an inner long side waggy shaft

- jack

Ifn you can hook me up with Chevy-length 35 spline front D60 outer stub shafts I'd be in for 2.

Squash

Hopefully you inquired about custom length inner shafts...

Well.........?
Any word yet?
:smokin:

How bout d44 78ford full width inners and outers
and 35 spline ff rear same full width

If this ever materializes, I might be in as well....

So, did the WARN rep flake, or does he need more time to figure pricing info.

Hey Jack,
Sent you an e-mail re. (2) 1975 Waggy outers #38815, (1) 1975 Waggy long side inner #39339, and (1) ? Dodge short inner ~17.13" in length, can't find the application on the web site,
Thanks,
Ryan

Well, C'mon Sweet75... What's the Dilly-O?

Hey sorry guys. We're playing phone tag right now. I'll post details up today.

-Jack

patiently awaiting...... make sure you check custom size, ohh and give at least a weak to get all the orders in.....

Anything yet?

i'm in for a set of inners and outers for 35 pline 60.
steelman

I'm interested in "FOUR" front, 35 spline 60 shafts:)

Any word? I NEEEEED these shafts!

Andy

Yeah whats up??? I wanna know about this.. its pissing me off! :mad: come on.. tell us that we can get a deal on warn shafts.. then flake?? What is up with that!
Scott

Hope this dude didnt flake..... Cause I would've bought them already.....:beer: :beer:

Two things.

1) What kind of savings are we looking at with a group buy?

2) Can we get custom lengths and if not, who can cut the shafts down to the proper length.

Hope we get an update soon...I'd love to buy a set as well.

where ya at sweets ?

I'm gettin' blue balls here, whats up?

Is the deal dead?

Andy

this guy has not replied back for like a week, The cards are telling me the deal is off.......CALL ME NOW ,

Time for some action we should all email this fawker with some shit, what the fuck you get people excited and never hit back whats going on, Fuck that ASSPIPE....

Ease off of him, i am sure he is still waint back to hear from the vendor, sometimes vendors find something else to do and get side tracked

Ok given...... But a reply back letting the ahhhhh, 30 or more people that he got all excited is not that hard.

What do you think??

Ok, so whats the dealio here??:smokin:

Hey, I'm Woody,....Howdy, Howdy, Howdy, Howdy,...now where are my shafts???

DUUUUUUUDE. What going on here? Is there or is there not a deal?

If not, anyone know where I can get a good price on the WARN's with one custom length (long side)?

hey, I emailed sweet75 and from the sound of it he's been playing phone tag with the warn rep ...

- jack

Tell him to post on here.......hell, I'll tell him myself:flipoff2:

All,

I have been calling and leaving messages for this fawker for over a week now. I'll continue to pester him through next week. If I can't get ahold of him, I'll go around him. Keep the list going. The more people we have, the more flex we have.

-Jack

Hey Jack,
Thanks for your continued efforts, please keep us in the loop!!!
Good Luck

I'm interested in some rear TJ D44 driver/pass. side shafts if we're getting a good deal. I'll check back here for details.

count me in, i'll take custom length front 44 shafts.

All,

I just left Scott @ Warn another message. I told him that there are a bunch of people interested pending answers on the cut down and price questions. I'll continue to ping him until he responds.

-Jack

Ok all, that fawker Scott from Warn refuses to return my calls :flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2: So I'll try calling Warn tomorrow and see if I can get somebody that wants to do the deal down there. Shit, there's over 30 people that want the shafts, that's a big sale.

If I can't get Warn to get off their asses, should I try Moser?

Yes, Try moser if you can't get warn to cooperate. I can't see why they wouldnt though, thats a big sale.. I just want something that is stronger than a stock D30 shaft that will accept a full clip U joint so I can go with CTMs!
Scott

Not for nothing Sweet75, But maybe next time you can be sure you can get a deal going for sure, before you post. Alot of people were excited to get a deal on shafts including me. I called Mrs. Cleo, she turned four cards over they all said you cant make the deal happen DEEK, seriously though dude next time be sure you have the hookup in hand before posting a serious message like you did. Just my .02, I am a newbie, and I smoke alot of weed....:smokin: :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

What do the shafts run if I were to buy them w/out a discount? I have not been able to find any prices on these. It's for a Wagonner D44 PN's

39339 Long Side
38808 Short Side
38815 Outers

Mosers are around $300, but I have no idea if they are comparable in strength and quality.

Lance was the first, i believe, to trash a warn..... there have been several broken moser's im sure moser is a good axle...seems like warn got the advantage

Snowball thrashed a WARN shaft with Jesse's "super joint". The MOSER held up fine :rolleyes:

Drive Train Warehouse, sells the Warns. A complete set of inners and outers,(comes with spicer U joints also), for $549, (no tax, free shipping). They also have a no questions asked Guarentee on the shafts.

I know what you are saying. I talked to the Warn guy. He said that he was down with the deal, and just needed to get prices and that he'd call me back by the following Thursday. I asked him if I should post a message and get the ball rolling and he said yes. I double checked as to keep my ass off the line and he assured me to go for it. That's probably why he won't return my calls. :flipoff2: fawker.:flipoff2:

Will they do custom lengths? My long side is not so long anymore:rolleyes:

All of the Major brands high strength shafts, are gonna be a good product. Warn, Moser, Superior, Ditchman,...they all know how to make a quality high strength axle shaft.
The Warns just have an impressive track record already established in regaurds to the CTMs. If some of you guys have had great performance with other high strength shafts in the past, and want to run them with the CTMs, thats great. That will lead to more real life, performance results.
Personaly, the Warns have worked great for me.

I dunno, I dont work for em, I just saw there add, in one of the off road rags.

screw moser, i want Warn's, stay on the deal, the longer we have to wait, the more money i can actually save up

Count me in also. (if the $$$ is good)

I called Warn and they said that Scott is the only guy that can help us out and he is out traveling right now (and apparently not checking messages). So as a backup, I sent a buddy of mine that ownes an off-road shop to see if he was interested in setting up an account with them. If he can get a big initial order in (like this one) he will get the deeper discount prices for himself and set himself up for the future. So it would work in his advantage as well.

Hey Jack,
If the price is right I'll take a set.

So I take it this whole deal is off?????? :mad:

It's not dead, I'm just having to find a new avenue to do it.

Ron at Sierra Bronco's is looking into an account at Warn. If he can set it up, he'll use the mass buy to get really good prices for him in the future (resale) and for this one time buy, just give them to us at his cost.

He did say that he could today setup an account at Superior. They just came out with some super shafts/U-Joints that are supposed to be really good.

What do you guys think?

well the story with that is... He has to talk to Scott as well. Just because he is a shop, does not mean he will be able to go anywhere we have not been able to go. Unfortunatly scott is the onlyone to talk to. So we all have to wait until he gets back. I know this ebcause I had a shop call a while ago about this and scott ws the one to talk to. As for superior, what is the price on their setup, and how strong is it?

Dimtri

Just who, exactly, is this Scott guy who seems to have godlike powers at Warn? Nobody can sell axles there without his permission or what? Someone should call the president or CEO or whomever and get his boss to light a match under his ass.

Can you say "Bottleneck?"

This is fawkin' ridiculous. Don't they WANT to sell axles?

:mad3:
Jake

In theory there is no way he should do this. They require dealers to have an opening order. In this case I think it's a lot more $ than a bunch of axles. Why should a dealer have to pay more than an individual to buy wholesale?

Well you can count me out. I just ordered some inners and outer Warn shafts for my D44. I couldnt wait the CTM's are here :D

This guy is a dealer and this would be his opening order. But the opening order normally sets what your price brake will be. He's just selling them to us @ 0 cost.

Dude do you have the hookup or what??? Cause my CTM's are in the mail and I need some shafts..... Let us know!:beer: :beer:

I said screw it! I cant wait any longer my CTM's are here now! I called Drivetrain warehouse and got my Warn inner and outers for 549.00 free shipping :D

They say they have a "NO QUESTIONS ASKED, WARRANTY". I asked them over the phone if that was the case even in regaurds to Warn Axles(It was advertised right in the Warn axle portion of thier add). They said yes, and that even included broken yokes, due to joint failure or whatever,.."they said no questions asked, and it would be on the reciept also". You still need to send it in, and have it returned, but, still, thats not a bad deal.

H8,
So are you saying that Drivetrain Warehouse has this warranty??? Or Warn?

Jake

Sweet,

I used to work for a Off road store chain out here on the east coast... TRY Greg Kapheimer at Warn... He was our Rep.. Hes been with Warn for a while...He always used to hook me up and always got the job done for me...

Milkman,

PS.. my personal experience with Warn... they wont sell unless you go through a registered wholesaler/retailer.. they dont want to piss off their big customers..:mad2:

I'll give him a try. I don't mind going through a warehouse or somthing, I just don't want to pay retail and I'm looking for more than $10 below it. I'll call him shortly.

Thats Drivetrain Warehouse's policy.
they probbably sell so much Warn swag to customers that will never even come close to needing or breaking the high dollar parts, that Warn gives them special dispensation for returning axles.
Who, knows,..thats what they say, and their price is better than anywhere else Ive seen.

Thanks man,

Maybe I'll have to give up this mass buy pipedream (mass hallucination?) and give them a call...

Actually, that's Drivetrain Warehouse's policy on all divetrain items.

hey, anyone know if drivetrain warehouse will do custom length shafts in that $549 deal ?

Do you want me to get you a cup of coffee, while I look into it, for you. Waddaya think I am, your secretary?
Give em call, and ask?:flipoff2:

All,

No-go with Warn. They aren't willing to do anything even for an order of 40 sets of axles (which is where we are at).

But we can go with the new Strange Alloy Axles which were featured in this months Petersons Off-Road mag. They are supposed to be really sweet and we can get a good deal on them ($299 for both sides, shipped). Unlike the previous, this is a sure thing.

He is checking on custom lengths and to make sure it is their new super alloy axles.

Who's in?

-Jack

Are they willing to make a deal on the new joints as well?

That is something that he is checking on as well. That price included their heavy duty u-joints, but I don't know if that's their new ones. I'll let you know.

-Jack

Is the $299 just for inner shafts? or inner and outer?
I might be interested.
Rick

I believe it's for inners and outters. That's being verified right now so don't quote me. I'll keep the board up to date now that we finally found a vendor that is willing to work with us.

-Jack

Hey, so what kind of axles can you get deals on now? You said strange axles....never heard of them? whats the track record on these shafts any good...

Will my CTM's assrape these shafts or what??

Might want to start a new thread since some might have lost intrest in looking at this one since the Warn deal went south?

I might be willing to give these a shot if it's $299 inners, outers and joints.

If this includes inners and outers for both sides then i am definitly in. If it is only one side then no. Keep us posted. BTW can they do them for scout d44s?

Jack, Strange or Superior Axles?

Strange engineering has been around a while. They have a good rep in muscle car/drag racing applications. I'm sure they've got a quality axle for 4wd's too.

sean

I'm still interested, keep the infomation coming.

Just FYI Drivetrain Warehouse is Four Wheel Parts Wholesalers.

I ordered a set of rear Superior Axles from them. Went through three sets being shipped here and then me calling them and having them picked up (they were cheap made in INDIA JUNK) and not the true Superior. Finally had to call Superior and get them involved to get the true Superior shafts.

Depdog:usa:

I was mistaken. They are superior shafts, not strange. Doesn't superior buy their axles from somebody like Warn and then re-cuts/splines them? What should I have him check for to be sure these are the good shafts not the osama been crapin hindu POS's that DepDog was talking about?

Yeah , can you find out exactly what shafts these are?? Cause for $300 bucks they sound good , but if they are shit then I rather spend $200 more and get the warns from DriveTrain they are a sure shot you know..... Just my .02:beer: :beer:

Superior makes a good axle, and they are made right here in the USA. They also have a new "super" joint out, supposedly similar to CTM's, but with roller bearings instead of bushings.

I'd definately be in for a set of these shafts. Only problem is, there seems to be no info available for them. I can't find application part numbers anywhere, including www.superioraxle.com , though there is a description of the shafts there. How are we gonna tell you what we need, other than length? At least Warn has a chart.

BTW, Sweet75, thanks for staying on top of this, I'm sure it's a headache dealing with impatient jackasses like us. Everyone likes to get a good deal, and I'm glad you're trying to make it happen.

I called Drivetrain Direct yesterday and they said they were not shipping these shafts yet? The sales guy sounded like he was :smokin: though.

Andy

Im in at 299 inners and outers, you said with u-joint??? This would be with their new super ujoint!!?? If so, killer time to get in on a new product, see if its all its cracked up to be, I would be in!!! (j10 widetrack D44)

Superior are good axle shaft. They are the street, or consumer brand of FOOTE axle company. All made in the USA:usa: .

They use rolled in splines instead of cut and I have heard they are 4130 chromo like the Warns but with a different heat treating process. Guy at Superior would not talk much, he did say they were not available yet.

Depdog:usa:

If any body is thinking of ordering from Drivetrain or has any question's about any shafts, ask to speak with Dennis, everybody else there is a" fucking asspipe moron" they dont whats going on.... But he is pretty knowledgable and is a pretty cool guy...

i have called superior a few times about the add i seen in the last page of leon rosser's catalog about thier new dual heat treat alloy axles, and they said they should have the d30/44/60 completed by the end of march, this puts me in a bind because i need them now and i would rather have these than the warns because i have heard from numerous places that these would be stronger than the warns. From my understanding Warn, has a lifetime warranty on thier axle shafts, hub conversions and all that , but i could be mistaken.

I just ordered my warn shafts from Drivetrain Direct...Couldnt wait any longer.. The shafts were $549.00 including joints, with free shipping..

As far as there warranty, the warn shafts have a lifetime no question ask warranty, anything do to joint failure or otherwise they will warranty them, Not a bad deal for $549 and free shipping..

Los-Yj did you get your shafts from drivetrain DIRECT or drivetrain Warehouse? The warehouse id the one that advertises 549 with a joint and lifetime warranty, I'm curious if Direct matched that price?

Andy

I ordered mine from drivetrain warehouse and they were 549 free shipping. And this was last week. Great deal!!

I ordered them form Drivetraindirect they were $549 free shipping... But when you call, ask to speak with Dennis, cause I got another guy once who was a fucking asspipe he said the price for the shafts were $625.00 not including shipping..

Just say you saw there ad in the Mag for $549 and free shipping. :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

Well, I'm out too.

I just called Drivetrain Warehouse. $515 with no 297 joints (GOT CTM?), free shipping, and best of all lifetime warranty! :eek: Even better, Warn Premium hubs = $68 bucks and lifetime warranty. :eek: :eek:

Wish you guys luck with the mass buy, just couldn't wait any longer!

Andy

LOL.....Drivetrain Warehouse's phone message has said "last week for free shipping" for the past year.

So, it's interesting that Drivetrain Direct has the same price for the Warn's as Drivetrain Warehouse.......or do they?

Id be in for a set of superior frotn shafts with Joints for 299.. I need shafts for my 89 yj front D30, with the 297x u joints please..
Scott

has anyone found out any info on these, for 250 cheap then warns are they going to be as good?

We are making sure that price is for the new axles they just came out with. Otherwise I don't think I'm interested (but the price will still be good).

-Jack

Okay, this is officially dead. Both Warn reps aren't interested in doing the $25000 order and the superior shafts aren't the super alloys. This is closed DAMN IT!

I left a message with a regional sale manager at 4WPH Corporate. They'd be stoopid to not work with us on this.
