Great video. Loved seeing inside the factory and watching expert technicians at work. Noah made doing the gears on your front axle look so easy I was wondering if he had the shims set up in advance.
I was surprised at your choice of RCV. shafts. Figured it must be an a ailability thing.
LOL!! On the pinion depth shims, he did a pretty good job of just guessing. On the carrier shims, he had to work it more than once but for the sake of the video, we just showed the final outcome. As far as RCV's go, yes, it was an availability thing for us to go with them.
Another great video, Thank you for sharing the process for building a ProRock44 axel. Is there a reason you only did the front?
Well, up until now, the only housing failures we have seen have been on the front axle and at the FAD. So far, we have not seen any rear axle housing failures. Just like the JK before, there really hasn't been as pressing a need to replace a rear housing being that it is a true 44 and with 3" tubes. I should note however that we we have been hearing about some bearing failures though.
That was a great video! It’s really cool watching quality parts being made and assembled.
So glad you enjoyed it
Wow! Interesting, informative and just super cool! Congratulations on the axle! I need a couple of these! Loved this video!
Thanks Rachel, so glad you enjoyed the video
Awesome video! Such a quality product! Can’t wait to get one... and 37s [emoji23]
It really is as good as it gets and you can see it. :yup:
I'm not gonna lie, I was really looking into the other brand for sometime due to pricing but watching this video hands down changed my mind. This was a very insightful video and I can see why Dynatrac has such a great following and product. I have to say this is one of the best and most educational video your guys have made. :thumb:
Thank you, we're so glad to hear it and I do think that being able to see what goes into making an axle like this really helps to understand where the cost comes from. Aside from the America parts that are sourced and used, the employees are all guys who've been working there for a long time and take real pride in their work. I don't think robots or chinese welders share the same amount of care in what they do.
