What are air soft beads?

Matthew

 

Isn't the pro rock 44 already almost overkill?

Matthew

 

They are plastic pellets that are used as ammo for air soft guns.

 

I knew about those, but where do they come into use balancing wheels?

Matthew

 

You run the beads inside the tire and the beads distribute themselves along the inside of the tire until it's balanced. Every time the tire stops rotating the beads pool at the bottom of the tire until the tire starts to spin again and they redistribute themselves. It eliminates the need to use weights on the rim.

 

Where to start?

First of all....

Tell me all about how RCV doesn't make d60 rears. Maybe you should qualify that.

Then...

Are there reasons for those brand suggestions?

And....

"plan on dropping...."

This can be done for about half, with better results or for a quarter with pretty decent results. Why are you pushing these products? Do you run every one of them? Have you run competing products to know the difference?




Okay... I know the answers. No need.

 

Cool video..... Is that a rear bumper? Or just rear stock bumper removed ???

 

Everything I listed been installed on my Jeep

I've posted plenty of build pictures

I'm retired and have no relationship with any vendors I mention

I was told by northridge4x4 that there weren't RCV axles as an option for the Dynatrac d60

Northridge custom built both axles for me a couple of weeks ago

A local shop removed my stock JK front d30 and rear d44

Then they replaced them with the Dynatrac pro rock d44 unlimited and the Dynatrac d60 both with ARB lockers and 5:13 gearing

I have a great 9 minute stop motion video that was made by taking a still picture once every 5 seconds

So it takes 3 1/2 days down to just over 9 minutes

I understood what you meant with the ProRock... just wanted others to know as well, as the way it was written, it looks like there is no option for the 60, period and that just isn't true. My bet is a call to RCV would have gotten a shaft built for your axle, at no additional cost. They are very open to doing custom work if they don't have the item on hand. Look on their site at the rears.... you give them measurement and other important info, they make a shaft for you.

Anyways... I hate to see people pointed at the most expensive option available (I'm new here, but it seems, just like the other JK sites, this one is filled with fan boys and high dollar builds that make little sense, which in turn, never get wheeled... just look at rims if you want to know who abuses and who doesn't.). Sure, Dynatrac makes nice stuff, but the same and more can be had for a LOT less. Axles aren't really very complicated and even if one was unable to do the work themselves, I bet a considerable amount of coin would still be saved if a shop did the work.

 

I trust Northridge 4x4, if they tell me that there is no RCV rear axle for a Dana 60 I believe them

I drive the hell out of my Jeep, so that's why I wanted to do it right, I preferred to buy dynatrac's vs welding gussets onto my factory axles etc

I pretty much replace everything from the tire/rims on up to the drive shafts

The transfer case and transmission are all stock
