rue i told him i wanted the rocks and could pay him now or when i pick then up. I went to CB to pick them up when he had sold them a week before for 500 more than the 6000 we agreed on. i would have paid 8+ for the rocks because it cost 15g + to build them.

You don't need Rockwell's with horsepower and big rubber . and sometimes you need the rear steer just to be completely out of controll

90bronco it should be out of control alot. With the rear steer i am putting in a control valve for the driver or with a turn of a valve it will be able to be steered from the passenger seat. Out of all the vids i have watched a have never saw the passenger steer the rear wheels. I see lots of flips rools and crashes in its future. You don't need balls to get in it but you should wear a diaper.

Yeah steering 14 bolts. I remember watching the old vids of Tim Cameron, Dan Dibble etc and most of the time when they were really hammering down they mostly used rear steer and not front. Always wondered if it was due to preference or the way the rigs were set up.

Tim went to the steering 14 bolts to get stronger gears and carrier. I think i read somewhere it is the same weight as a stock 60 front. He runs rcv axles in them and brakes them quite often. He also runs a 600hp 454 sbc.

Those will not be off the shelf axles. I assume it will take the 2'' ouverson shafts?

Quote from the madram11 vid -
Tim Cameron finally got his new Ouverson axle shafts in his Custom Rockwell/14 bolt axles and he was determined to see what kind of Abuse they would take right out the gate. He also put a nasty Groove job on his 43" Super Swamper SX tires
