Being able to watch your amazing piece of mechanical art being made, I have to admit to being jealous of you. That is truly awesome of Dyna allowing this to happen and for you to sharing with us. A favorite for sure!

Awesome. Very talented group of people! From the designers to the machinist to the assemblers! Great work!

Agreed!

Direct access to some of the manufacturing insight being applied is great. Appreciate the effort put into this. The scrub radius and related reduction in turn radius is something that's gnawed at me as I contemplate lifts and wheels. One of the features I love about my stock JK is the turn radius. Of course, anything after a Suburban has a great turn radius...but still!

Not only are your vids (especially the dynatrac vids) super helpful in explaining all the cool tech that goes into products you use, but your vids in my opinion are incredible sales tools for the companies you represent. Because of your videos especially, and because of Dynatrac's relationship with you and other popular youtubers, the liklihood I'll buy Dynatrac's when I upgrade to 60's is like 98%. I don't know how much the companies you represent in you videos appreciate what you do for them with your excellent productions, but I can pretty much guarantee they've seen a bump in sales just because of the work you do. I am so appreciative of the depth in your content when it comes to upgrade products. Hats off, brother. Thank you!

Thank you Paul, we really do appreciate you saying as much. If you do decide to get one of these axles, we'd be super grateful if you could please let them know that you watched and enjoyed our videos. The only way they know we're of help to them is through people like you :) I should note that we are currently testing out Dana UD60s on our Gladiator and hope to do similar videos to this in the near future.

It’s an absolute pleasure to watch someone do something right, from start to finish. Thank you

I can’t believe how much I learned from this video! Great work!

One point not raised in regards to scrub radius that presents a huge advantage in how the car drives as well driver comfort, something that particularly struck me as the reason I would want a setup that improved scrub radius numbers is that of steering wheel feedback, if you hit a bump with one tire, or one tire first with poor scrub radius you get a tremendous amount of feedback through the steering wheel, even with powersteering but much worse without, with poor scrub radius and large hits the steering wheel will literally rip your hand as the leverage caused by that poor scrub radius acts on your king pin. Even on smooth surfaces you will get increased steering wheel feedback from warped disk brake rotors or unbalanced tires. The comfort to be gained by improving steering geometry cannot be overstated. This will be a far more comfortable ride with a better scrub radius both onroad and off.

Great Job Wayalife!, and Dynatrac for taking the time to allow this video to be filmed. Thanks for giving us all a front row seat and lesson!

Awesome. Can't wait to see the trail footage.

Question: With the 5.5" backspacing it looks like your hub is extending outside the beadlock ring. Is that the stub hub kit? Is the hub as vulnerable as it looks?

Well great video as always and looking forward to seeing a good in depth video of normal driving around town and of course on the trail. Your videos just keep my blood flowing for my own JK one day. I'm about 2 yrs from my JK but I'm saving my $$$$$ and doing my research especially for how I want my rig to look. Thanks again for a great video and with any luck we might see each other on the trail one day. :)

Two questions... Can you build this axle for a Jeep YJ??? What are the wheel dimensions required for this application???

Could you guys do a video explaining the purpose behind the double throwdown suspension you're using? I am having trouble finding any good info about the purpose and pros/cons of it. I only found this channel last night but so far the videos are great and I love the content.

Xok when's the trail test video ?

I need a dynatrac in my jeep!

Would you consider building offset axles like we used to have in the Volkswagen buses.I know it's a bit of an issue with the front axle but Mercedes does it.

Man i cant wait to own a wrangler

Hi Eddie, do you have the names for all of the background songs that was used in this video? i love it

good job 😍😍😍😍

ca'ching lol ok I'll donate my JK for the next test 😎😎 Great video !

With all that engineering why not go with a 14 bolt ? My 14 bolt has custom cut , reverse cut gears Tru track and 2 1/2 ton Rockwell hubs and disk breaks . It is a fantastic axle . But with your engineering it could be a 100 times better . You guys are awesome . Ever think about Rockwell f 106 ? Why Dana ? I am not criticizing just curious .

Amazing..👍👍👍

Do you build dynatrac for ford ranger? just a thought or to any types of 4x4 vehicles? thanks

I WANT ONE!

Honestly, we love them. They hook up way better on the rocks than our old Nitto or Toyos and have found them to perform the best in the snow for a mud terrain. Certainly, they're no Duratrac on the slick stuff but way better than any other MT we've run in the past.

Can you please compare the Dana vs Currie? Love your content.

Another quick question what size tires are you running on RubyCat after the axle upgrade?

Like the way dynatrac workers do there job. Seem to show what there making will last. Sure it costs. So when they gonna do a JL, show improvements. Good video, buy those guys a pizza, beer optional.

So want them for my jk

Nobody should ever complain about the price of Dynatrac axles. You are lucky to have a product like that...completely value added.

Beautiful American manufacturing. curious I the price tag on this axle

Are you running bigger wheels to allow for the larger knuckles? I did not see the wheel size on the Rubicat build specs. Another great video by the way!

@23:38 are the bolts coated with silver anti-seize and a dab of red Loctite?

So how do they weld aluminum to steel on the spindle end?

do they leak? If so, after how long? 6 months? years?

What is the size and strength comparison with a dana Super 60?

Just an FYI, there's been a recall on the aluminum knuckles for cracks in them. I would give it a bit for them to figure it out before placing an order.

Hi Wayalife, i have one question, in this video did you also replace the rear axles with the widen xd60 as well or not? if you didnt that means the wheel track will be different between the front and the rear, because the JK is running the same 5.5 inch backspace TR wheels. Another really awesome video BTW.

@wayalife

We had our rear 60 lengthened to match.

$$ beautiful $$

The ball joints go on the knuckle, and not on the Cs?? That is the way God intended it 🙌🏾

My prorock 60 still works fine. My question would be, is Dynatrac considering building standard Prorock 60 steering knuckles out of the new materials to help lighten the weight and improve the strength? Or would in not be considered cost effective?

@wayalife

9 ай бұрын

Actually, they no longer make and use the aluminum knuckles that you see in this video and being that they were breaking. The XD60 now comes with iron knuckles and truth be told, are way heavier.

does these people make custom axles? reason I ask I want a pro rock 80 for live axle conversion on a expedition?

why axle manufacturers won't use kingpins any more I mean what's the cost difference between KP's and BJ's

I have a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I have a RTT bed rack and haul other gear for boon docking and overlanding. I’m considering an axle swap, I’ve already upgraded gears in the Dana 44’s to 5:13. Do I need to upgrade axes?

Great video and awesome axle the beast out there, its just sooo over priced its ridiculous... I will stay with my junkyard chevy dana 60's

When you going to upgrade moby?

Drain plug?

By reducing the Scrub radius, does that increase instability at highway speeds due to less force keeping the wheels straight? It makes total sense for the trails, but just a question since I will have to still have this as my main vehicle.

@wayalife

6 жыл бұрын

To be clear, this axle simply restores your scrub radius back to what you would of had stock while running 40" tires. It has nothing to do with trail use per se but rather, putting things back where they should be.

@marclaky384

6 жыл бұрын

Scrub radius is dictated by wheel offset and tire diameter. Axle doesn't dictate scrub radius. You can get positive or negative scrub radius by changing offset.

Awesome stuff. Goes to show, if you have enough money you can build a rocket ship.
