Is anyone here running Crane, Reid/Dedenbear, or Spidertrax knuckles?

What about "indestructible" aftermarket shafts? These look intresting, but $$$$:eek:. Hmmmmm "You break it, we replace warranty." , Oh really. Bet I could break 'em.:D

A friend and I have been discussing the idea of building a 14 bolt front. I doubt it will ever happen, but it could be fun (although EXPENSIVE) to push it and see what breaks if we do.:drivin::thumbsup:

rockjeep44 are running those shafts in his buggy, now two years I think, and no issues. The design of them is great and well worth the coin. I'd love to get a set for my D44 front.

People have built 14B front axles before (look on Pirate4x4). There is a local guy that races/wheels his buggy hard. He is using Crane knuckles and has yet to break them.

What would be very cool to see someone build is a HP 14B front axle (of course someone would need to design a new pumpkin for that).

Thre are some pictures of HP 14B in this thread. It appears Ballistic Fab is trying to keep the Super 14 alive. All it will take is huge amounts of $$$$$$$$$$

When I bust a knuckle, I will probably go with Crane. I really like the look of them and since I sit pretty high I don't need the stock draglink mount to clear my steering. I currently have Yukon alloy shafts with CTM u-joints. I ought to look in a hub to see if there is any twisting, but I am too lazy. The RCV shafts are bling bling, and everyone knows your sporting them with the red dust cover ...:cool:
