Just picked up the axles. Got a smokin deal. The guy is switching to superduty wontons, so i got a good bundle of stuff. Dana 30hp trussed with 4.56's and a aussie. New axles, bearings, u joints. A ford 8.8 welded tubes, lim slip, new bearings and seals and disc brakes. Got a spare driveshaft, spare axle shafts for both axles, calipers, pads, rotors, etc.
I've had my run ins with them & im only 2 hours away from them.. He's a small shop so it takes forever but good quality.
Sounds like Nates4x4. I ordered a set of bumpers from him and got the rear super quick but I asked for a bit of custom work on the front and its months past the multiple promised dates. The rear looked solid though so I'm holding out for a bit longer.
Just got email notification that my Dirt Bound Window Racks finally shipped and will be here Thursday September 9th....I ordered them July 14th!!
Those things look super cool. I'm tempted to buy a set myself but man, that's not really an acceptable time to wait. If it was a buddy building them in his spare time then maybe...

Ehhhh... the CNC cutting was cool, but the welds on the D loops were splattery, way to hot, and looked like they were done in a hurry

They arrived at my doorstep on Tuesday. so nearly 2 months after i ordered them. I understand he is small....but come-on. He did say that his summer help left to go back to school, but he should have had someone lined up to complete the shipments...i waited 2 months for something that could have been cut, welded and shipped within a week.
ordered new e-brake shoes, new rotors and e-brake cables for the 8.8 swap through East Coast Gear Supply. Was hoping to degrease and paint the axles this weekend, but i need to get an elk on the ground! next week project for nights.
ECGS order arrived yesterday. 2 brake cables, 2 rotors and a complete backing plate with e-brake hardware. this evening will be draining the diffs and starting to strip the housings for paint.
Got the E_brake gear installed. Since the 8.8 is also a C-clip axle, i had to drain the diff fluid and pull the axles. Was able to verified that it is the stock Ford Trak-Loc and 4.56 gears. Gave everything a fresh coat of paint and mounted the calipers and new pads
