Your lathe work is making my dremel look pretty ghetto! Looks good! |

Don't feel bad, I am spoiled rotten with the lathe thing. I have never had to buy one. I worked as a millwright for 13yrs, we had a full machine shop there. Now at my "new job" (been there about 2yrs now:-P) We just got a NEW lathe and mill (new machines kick ass!!!) So I have all the skills to run them, but have never had to pay my own way Actually, I thought that your dremel skills were amazing when I look at the pics. Don't think I could make them that uniform with a dremel tool. |

I'd think a lot of stuff (like this) that we did with the TLTs would carry over to almost any axle. Same with the Maxx shaft mod... |

| shortened and beveled tlt cup , 38° it is easy to mod the cup , but the bad thing is it will bind at higher speed or torque and full steering |

| It will still work. You'll have a little wheel wobble at full turn but you can get that with CVD's as well. Try it, you've got nothing to lose. It's a lot cheaper than buying CVD's only to break the pins. Seems like the pins Gunnar sells are holding up but other parts of the CVD can still fail.

i did this mod but after about 2 months of comping every weekend the pin would wear on the cup and cause it to come out and lock up. i am still running the moded cups cuz it beats the hell out of breaking cvd pins every weekend

I don't have a stock cup handy, but I have a question about your numbers in the above post. I assume you're saying that you cut down the length of the cup by .035" before chamfering it? Is that correct? Thanks, Tommy | |

| Me either. Doing an axle rebuild and my stock, 3 year old cvds are still holding up. Little rusty, but not broken.

i bought a set of $11 steel outdrives that are machined shorter and give a hell of a lot of extra steering angle. forget the part # but these seem to do great and the knuckle is the limiter not the dogbone setup. jones bta and VP zeros coming soon. the stock dogbone setup with beef toobs apparently wont cut it, but maybe this mod or those custom outdrives will do it...
