Hybrid 609 Axle Build - Xtreme 4x4 S3, E16

It's the latest idea in off road axles: combining the benefits of the Ford 9 inch and the strong Dana 60. Ian takes us through step by step, on how to plan, measure and build this bulletproof axle combination. And in our event of the week, we're off to Moab's Jeep Safari, and some of it's hardest most legendary trails.

ah the master fabricator …your vids are amazzing my spelling isnt sorry😊

[@jonaathansimons7938]

609 still a viable option. Would like to put 'em under my '48 '2A.

[@miketee2444]

These old vids trip me out. Can't believe they have that tube buggy with about two inches of sidewall. Mall crawler

[@bmstylee]

You do realize that alleged mall crawler is running on 38x15.50 right.

[@ArthriticAngler]

Have you seen a John’s industry allegedly stamped out of 1/4” and keeps classic notch back look. Just curious if they are good.

[@TundeEszlari]

Sensational video. 😀

[@NohbdyThere]

Wait, is this a current production show, or is this from the 90's?

[@NohbdyThere]

Holy shit is that Windows XP?

[@rhekman]

The show is from 2007. I think this particular episode was a couple years in, since the first couple seasons included Jessi Combs - a fabricator, host, and racer. She sadly passed away trying to set a land speed record in Oregon in 2019.

i remember at one time he was building a side mounted vtech engine as a 4x4 buggy - what ever happened with that build

[@sasquatchrosefarts]

You guys hiring at all? You don't have your top roll cage members angled - in your computer drawing they run straight front to back. It's about a bazillion times stronger if you make them off angled even five degrees to create trapezoids or triangles. Sure😅 it's harder to attach body panels without a tape measure to accommodate the angled tubes..... , but it makes the roll cage a bazillion times stronger. A bazillion is the technical term they taught me at Harvard. 😅 Basically, if you roll the vehicle onto the front corners of the roll cage, it can collapse the whole roof of the vehicle because it has no angle bracing. All the tubes meet at ninety degrees.
