Funny story that @BigPrince will enjoy. When i was purchasing my axles it was between the ultimate 60's and the dynatrac 60/60 combo. I told david at northridge that i wanted dynatrac to price them at 72" width. He basically told me i was crazy for ever wanting anything that wide and i would have all sorts of issues. blah blah blah. He also said everything would be custom and i was looking at over 20 grand. His unwillingness to help is what Ultimately (see what i did there) led me to my current axles. Then like a month ago i see dynatrac now has a 72" wide axle they offer. He also got pissy when i told him i bought the axles through allsouth.

David sucks.  He flat out lied to me, tried to make me feel like it was my fault, and then told me I'd never see a deal like he was giving me - which he offered publicly 2months later.

I've never had any use for Northridge.  Marcus at River City Offroad is the guy I used to use before AllSouth.

I used to deal with david directly and would just text him what i wanted and he would get it shipped. Before switching to other companies for parts i found myself being handed off to a salesman. I think they are good for stock parts but once you get as deep into a build as alot of us are there are people out there with far more knowledge and better prices on the #kustom stuff.

#not43's

Bigger than 40's



Mine aren't even 40's but they are sticky. I hope these are just as sticky as i will probably sell mine and go to a 40. (can't fit a 42.9 due to axle width). I noticed at hale there were a few places where @tcdawg had the clearance to get over stuff where i had to take a different approach to make it.
Red is a little better than a trep in the sticky side of things.

Can run a kr3-s. It's a 40" tire. It would be like the sidewall of a trep but the compound of a red.

The way you state that sounds definitive and quantitative.  I have not seen either of those, only opinions.
It's early for me to think. I went to bed near 4am after a 5 hour drive.

Slow it down for me right now, what are you saying? Maybe I r dumb and didn't type something right.

Do you have empirical data to prove reds are stickier than Treps.

My right foot. Other than that, no. I didn't do a durameter test with keeping in mind production dates.

The 42" Treps measure in at 41.25" tall @ 25 psi (This is Don's front tire with the weight of his JKU sitting on them)

What?  WTH!
