Anyone running the RRO full floater rear axles? are the kick 3rd members strong enuff? I thought they were aluminum, not iron like the zukie. I want a full floater rear, any other sugestions for this?
thanks

fronts are aluminum, rears are not.

I don't have the full-floater, but I do run the rear Sidekick 3rd member. Works fine. For the front, I scrapped the aluminum and put the sidekick gears in a stock sami 3rd.

Thanks I was thinking they were both aluminum. so the RRO axle uses the rear 3rd member then?

any other sugestions for going to a full floater?

thanks for the info, found some doing a serch but nothing too specific. :D

Toyota lc or Rangerover
I've already run the tape measure over my Rangie axles to see if they'll work under the wifes lwb Suzuki trayback .Rangie already has disc rear and the pumpkin offset to suit the Suzuki t/case .To easy .Swap them both out for Rangie ones and call it good .

Rover axles huh???? thats kool, I'll have to check the $$$ end and what gears are available for them. Just curious...how long are they in compairison to the Sammy axle?

I am looking at the Sidewinde axle already alongside the RRO axle also built by Spider trax for RRO. they both have advantages.

Can anyone give me specific info on the Rover axle? and the Toy. I did not know the Toys came full floater, here in Southeastern Michigan, Toys are a bit less prevailent, so I am lacking info on those.

thanks for the help on this. :D

Also, if you get the diff carrier from a Grand Vitara, or XL-7 with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION, they're made out of steel, instead of aluminum.

What Axle housings will they bolt to? just the Kick/Track?
If so, they would bolt up to the Hybred housings also. can YOu get 5:12 or better gears for those?

As far as I know, yes, the Track/Kick housings, and the Hybrids from Spidertrax (Sidewinders) - anything that will accept a Sidekick third member. Gears? Up to 5.83.

KOOL!!!

Now I need to put this all together and see what I can come up with for a new axle.

thanks everyone
:D
