With some phone help from Rocktaxi..... I set my first D 60 up today.....going in the rear of Josh's FJ60.............5.13 Spool 35 spline axles:D :D

We bought these axles from Jason Keene, 35 splined at both ends with drive plates, anyone know the origon?
They are stout......:smokin:

Drive flange side of the rear axles.......:D :D

He's 4 linking/coiling the rear, here is the material he's using for the links....
:p :p

The spool sure makes it look empty inside there, ARB should be in Monday, so then I get to do the front 60........

Nice..

The shafts look like some old dutchman stuff I have seen...

anyone know the origon?


i though orygun is a state north of me?!:rasta:


pretty beefy stuff there butch! me likes the look of spools.:D

anyone know the origon?


Took me a second to figure out what he was trying to say too. Must be that Texas accent. :laughing:

But seriously, they look like something I saw on a circle track car.

Circle trackers use FF rear axle shafts???

I seem to remember seeing them in the IMCA series.

OK beeeaatchs, Can anybody enlighten me as to the region or company that produced these axles?
Mace the car I used to help out on ran them, 9 inch ford with 5x5 FF hubs and dual splined axles.....I seem to remember 32 spline........
build up is here along with all the other good stuff he's using.

Tell him to not to forget to make my set also!

Without the rear drive flange beveled I bet you are going to have to cut about a bit, 1/4"off the spindal those are going to rub. Just a bet.
On another note I wish my D60 pattern looked that good and I have set up a bunch and that ones perfect:D

Took us over an hour with Q-Tips to make the marks in the gear compound look like that! :flipoff2:

Looks damn good Butch. Great job, and I really like those ATOR steering arms.

It may be beveled, JK had a ton of silicone, it's full on the inside of the flange.....
I've set up a ton of chunks, mostly 9" and LC, but the Yukon pinion gear did not have the usual + or - stamped in, I'm used to dealing with, so I had no starting pinion depth, Ed bailed me out to get me started........

Those axles are strange engineering stuff. Really good axles but because of the two sets of hole patterns on the drive flanges I could not get them to stop leaking. I would suggest making a thin plate to go between the flange and the hub to block off the holes you are not using. This is what I was going to do.

I think I may have the paperwork for the parts too, I will look.

We have the plates off the old axles we pulled out, thanks for the info........

Yup, the 4-cylinder modified car (2300CC Ford, ~325hp) i crewed on was a quick change 9" with FF shafts. 35 spline, IIRC.. I wanna say they were even drilled, but it's been a while since I laid eyes on it.
