Seriously I like this idea better than the berg axles. Clod parts and axial parts are super easy to get, CVD's are available, tons of wheels available, and I'll be giving the bulk of the money to a local boy instead of some anonymous company like EnRoute which may well go tits up in a year. And you'd have to work really hard to break plastic clod gears in a 2.2. I think I found my new 2.2 comp rig

Yeah it's been a while Chris, but I wanted to be sure I had it right. You nailed the high points of the advantages.

THIS IS WAY TO COOL.

where do i send my money for parts

The parts on my truck are the prototypes, first article parts are in my hands and I am doing some inspection and test fits. I'll be doing a small production run soon so look for a thread in the vendors section in about 3 weeks. If the interest is there for more I'll do a bigger run.

Steering: Yes, you can get just as much steering from the knuckles and shafts as on an Axial axle. This setup will also work with BTA steering with a little more work.

I am glad to see this finally unveiled. This is bad ass for sure. I am very interested to see what this will cost because the brute strength of the clod is unmatched. Congratulations on designing and pulling it all together Chris

cartronicshn · 02-20-2009, 09:58 AM

Very nice work Grizz

, i still have a set of clod axles and i would love to try all this awesomeness on a 2.2 clod, just fantastic work8-)

Thanks Eddie. I feel that the price will be reasonable and I hope others do too.

clarkrw3 · 02-24-2009, 09:27 AM

This is very cool and very interesting...and with the 4pk...hmm wheels are a churning.

RB_Steve · 02-24-2009, 10:30 PM

Excellent rig. Finally have some inspiration for my clod axles!

swell searcher · 02-25-2009, 09:48 AM

damn chris, that's just damn sexy... nice to see a come back for the 2.2 clods...

Laker67 · 03-03-2009, 10:52 PM

How much do you think that its going to run the average guy to pick this kit up from ya?? I'm really interested in it. I love my clod and almost made the swap to bergs.

I'm glad there is finally an option to make them more competitive.

4x4wheelier · 03-03-2009, 11:35 PM

dam grizz your so lucky, i might want to make something like that soon

FrankyRizzo · 03-04-2009, 07:48 AM

Looks cool. I know now the taller tires make the clods more appealing to use.

STANG KILLA SS · 03-04-2009, 08:59 AM

watching.......

ive got a extra set of axles waiting griz

Grizzly4x4 · 03-04-2009, 11:18 AM

Thanks for the good words guys.

Initial production pieces are out to the testers and a few guinea pig buyers

. I want to get some more feedback to make sure fit and finish are correct and then we can go live. Initial feedback is good and nobody has reported any fitment problems with axle C's or straight axle adapters yet.

I'm going to be gone most of next week for the 2.2 Crawler Challenge in Omaha so we will prolly go live on the 16th of March if all the feedback is good. I want to be sure these things are right before they go out the door.

Thanks for the interest.

clarkrw3 · 03-04-2009, 12:25 PM

Great to hear! Will be waiting.
