im in the market for a good narrow set of axles, like 45". they need to hold upto 31s without snapping. how wide is a dana 23? 53" at the most, this is for a buggy that i want to be able to load in the bed of my truck, drive 30 miles to a wheelin spot, kill it, and load it up again without getting my 2wd shitmobil stuck. theese axles need to be realitively easy to find in the usa.

Suzuki Samurai axles. I know a stock sami will fit in the bed of a fullsize chevy :D

waht about the bed of an s10

If you kill it it's gonna be really hard to put it back in your truck. I would say it probably wouldn't fit in the bed of a s10. Some big 4-wheelers barely fit. Samurais do fit in a fullsize though

they have some narrow d44s. I think they are around 50" wide but could be cut down.

Two axles in the back of an s-10 is enough to kill it let alone a rig.

yea no joke, poor s10 lol. extreme4x4 cut some axles up for their scout so that wont be a problem if you have to

eh, i dont care about this piece of shit truck, when the 2.2 dies its gettin scrapped and im gettin a 4.3 4x4.

sammurai axles are still 53.5" wms to wms. toyotas are 55". you will have to cut down either, but since sammi's are offset, you could cut them down to the point that both sides use the passenger side shafts. no need for custom shafts and spares will fit either side. if you have the skills it can be a do it yourself operation. read super cheap! doing this will get you in the width range you want.

i thought of this and it seems like the cheapest idea, maybe i should SAS a quad...

You could find a wrecked UTV and use the axles but if you are going to be putting any sort of power to them under a heavier "buggy" they probably won't hold up.

the buggy is going to be geo powerd, from a 3 banger fwd metro. just pop open the tranny and weld up teh diff on that puppy

They have these things called side-x-sides. They are about 50" or less wide. Why reinvent the wheel?

My 1986 Honda TRX350 already has solid axles front and rear. They're mounted on swing arms, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about linking it. It would require some fabrication, but would be possible.

this project is dead now, i wrecked my s10 about 2 hours ago, im parting it out and buying a jeep

Damn. too late. i got 2 narrow width 44's locked up out of my cj fo sell
