That's awesome that it went fast. As long as your happy with that amount, then who cares

Nice, feels good to price it right and not sit on it...congrats.

Would have loved seeing that in person, in Moab especially!

It does feel good to have a quick sale. A weight off my shoulders for sure!

I've already bought 5 40" Cooper STT Pro's for the JK..... next is the Dynatrac Elite60/80 combo and some TrailReady's....once trailready gets them off backorder!!

If the trailready's were available, I'd probably have enough time to get everything swapped out before my Moab trip this year at the end of March...

ATX Slabs are solid, too ;)

Kurt 02-25-2019 12:25 PM

I think I'll wait for TrailReady, sticking with my original plan and Made in the USA theme to go along with my products. Ordered my Dynatrac Elite 60/80 package today.

Trailready says April for wheels...not TOO far off.

Cobound 02-25-2019 12:42 PM

Ah, gotcha...totally get that - love it!!

Man, you'll love those axles, I'm still in awe of them :lol:

Kurt 02-25-2019 04:25 PM

I am torn though on the wheels. I like the polished look with my color of JK, but I don't like the maintenance with a polished wheel. The Trailready's are polished.

I've been looking at the KMC Machette though in the satin machined finish....gives that polished look but without the maintenance....

Cobound 02-25-2019 04:33 PM

Mine will remain devoid of chrome of the need to polish anything. I'm too lazy, and it's too bright! :lol:

Kurt 02-25-2019 04:34 PM

Yours is good with all black like it is though, looks good. I think it depends on the color of the Jeep as to whether or not you go black or shiney

:chug:

but tell me you are at least somewhat "sponsored" or a dealer or something and didn't have to pay the full $18,000 for that pair of axles.

:lol:

A set of brand new bullet proof one ton axles, shipped in crates, that are ready to bolt into a JK won't be cheap regardless of how you do it.

So then the clear coat immediately flakes off when wheeling?

Besides, I don't think clear would adhere unless it was scuffed and arguably not polished :lol:

option 2 would be to run them polished, and try to keep up with it as best as you can ... then once it's too far gone years from now just get em powder coated to be brand new again.

I did not pay the full $18,000 for the axles....they are still expensive, but I didnt pay full price.

I went ahead and just decided to get some KMC Machete's, and Im going to coat them with some Sharkhide to help protect the finish. I changed my mind to these from the Trailready's pretty quick when I started looking at the KMC's more. I like the drain holes built into the beadlock ring. One of the biggest gripes of beadlocks is the water that collects, so hopefully this takes care of that. Also, they have two valve stem holes. So I can have a gauge on one while filling the other, or throw in some Powertank Monster valves in one side.

Nice, for some bling!

YES, hate the water that gathers and stays...been an issue w/ two of my three sets...the Hutchinson Rock Monsters were doubles, so no rings, they were so pimp!

Powertank Monster Valves - I was going to recommend them and then saw you mention them...HELLZ YES!!!! LOVE MINE :rock:

Kurt 02-28-2019 08:16 PM

maybe I should start a thread in the Jeep section about this current round of stuff....

Jeep tech in the for sale section probably isnt the best place....
