HEY NOT TO BE AN ASS HOLE. BUT YOUR AXLES WONT WORK, AND PERSONALLY I DONT THINK THEY LOOK VERY GOOD.... ZIP TIED TOGETHER???

oops sry caps on

anyway, they wont work because, it looks like ur going to take the pinion gear and stick it between to big diff gears am i right??? well if you do that, one tire will spin one way and the other the other way.... and the blower on the hood looks go awfull

um i dowt the solder will even hold unless its a shelf queen

. you should just get your self some bruiser axels and save your self the hasle

cborrowman · 02-03-2005, 02:50 AM

give the guy a hand. better than most of you people that dont even have a rig or know the first thing about driving one. i think this guy has a awsome idea.

are you going to get a bearing to fit the i.d. if the pipe and then the driveshaft?

Rikpal · 02-03-2005, 08:30 AM

Sure there will be a TON of custom work here ;)
Keep us posted.

chaos18 · 02-03-2005, 02:35 PM

well mike if you knew anything about plumbing you would know that im not talking about a sodering iron... you use a torch to melt the soder.. and thats the reason im using copper....and i dont want brusier axels im not like every one esle who just buys there crawlers (im not nockin you real crawlers out there)
im sure you all know the feeling of bulding your first crawler and watching it go through its first run... well i want it to be like that except i dont want to go out and buy my axels.....

and about the bearing i took a nut and hammered it into the pipe then drilled it out to fit the bearing... and thanks for your support....

i acually do know about soldering copper, since we redid the pluming at my house last summer, and it is pritty strong. sorry for assuming your useing a soldering iron. :-|

oh, and "solder" isnt spelt "soder"

jwrape · 02-03-2005, 04:23 PM

I say if you can pull it off then do and post pics. I understand what you are sayin about the copper pipe. i once attempted making a 1/4 crawler from Copper Pipe and a bunch other parts shown here.

You should edit the title to say blazer instead of wrangler

AdamF · 02-03-2005, 07:12 PM
