Haha,

Yeah, I like the MUD, but I do like good trail rides. I'll admit I don't have a problem with rock crawlers. I'm just afraid of breaking my girl. Mud is forgiving. Rocks hurt. I also love to run the beach. I hope to get my tires into some of the sand at Oregon Inlet before the (insert your idea here) make it off limits permanently.

I hope to meet up with y'all real soon.

When I was working on the Chesapeake and Ohio, running the rails through Newport News, there is a spur that runs across Jefferson Hwy and out to the coal plants where we used to drop off coke and pick up the empties. Right along those tracks are some powerlines and the nastiest mud holes. I mean gooey slop. One day as we were rollin' through at about 5 mph, we found a Chevy truck lifted on 44's buried. They were all alone and were digging themselves out. What a mess.

I bet chevymudtruck has been back there.

[ChevyMudTruck]

lol thanks and some people don't like to fallow me . . lol . .
but anyhow . . yeah I think your talking about richneck . . they got some nasty holes there . . I pulled a couple people out down there when I was back on 35's . . also a place off wolftrap that is pretty nasty by the railroads . . . barried it once on 35's where guy on 40's was stuck the week before . .that wasn't cool but got it home and went bigger . . lol
and I live in the southern part of Newport News near newmarket off mercury. . . another forum I'm on people like to go rock crawling . . I'll try it one day either when I finish my s10 or i get a 60 in the front of the green truck . . I eat axle shafts about everytime I go out

oh yeah anyone here good on identifing big axles? . . . lol

[Copasetic]

What exactly would you call a BIG axle?

[twoslo4five0]

Makes a dana 60 look like a toothpick.

[ChevyMudTruck]

well mostly for mud but want to make it fully adjustable and configureable so I can run the rocks to if I want . . .


What exactly would you call a BIG axle?
well my best guess is 20 - 30 tons . .. .

that's cool . .maybe one day . . need a 60 in the front of my green truck before I do rocks and stuff . . . . . and never seen a 5 ton with panitaries on em and every one I seen had a small 10 lug pattern like 8 inch or something . . . and are top loaders . .these are hog head style with about a 20 and a 1/4 lug pattern

[Copasetic]

Holy crap! :shock: Those are big. Looks like they came out from under a loader or something similar. Maybe you could call John Deere or a nearby equipment dealer? Dammit man, you'd have a have a good size diesel just to push those things. Wow....

Yeah, i just got Norris to join too.. Maybe i can gather a few more.

Those axle came out of some kind of truck that run air brakes. I've seen a Military plane loader (Kinda like a scissor jack, with a platform on top) with four axles and they looked like that. I bet there in the 25000 lbs to 30000 lbs range.

Found a Pict.
