Thank you. Cindy and I really do appreciate you saying as much. Jeeps and the Jeep lifestyle has been a big part of our lives and for a very very long time and all we want to do is share our passion with others. We know we don't have the best equipment to work with but we try to do the best we can with what we've got. We're so glad that you enjoy what we come up with. :blush:

Seriously awesome video, this kind of stuff never ceases to fascinate me. I am addicted to learning this stuffIt was a little over 10 years ago that Cindy and installed our very first Dynatrac product on Moby, a ProRock 60 front axle. Since that time, we've been able to rack up well over 150,000 miles, driving him all across America and putting his axle to the test, all along the way. Now, that would include testing it out on dirt, across the sand, through the snow, in the mud, out on tons of rocks and of course, bombing our way across the desert. While it may not look as pretty as the day we got it installed, it is worth nothing is that everything on it is still 100% original. In other words, the housing, ring and pinion, locker, axle shafts and u-joints are all the same things that we've been punishing, all this time. And, it's because of this long resume of use and abuse that we were convinced, a Dynatrac was going to be the axle for us, when it came time to upgrade the one on our Jeep JL Wrangler.
In this feature length video, you'll get learn all about the Dynatrac ProRock 44 being made for the Jeep JL Wrangler, what makes it such an awesome front axle and see how it's made from start to finish, right here in the U.S.A.! We hope you enjoy our presentation and find it to be informative.
Clearly, a ProRock 44 is far from being something everyone needs and I might even go so far as to say, most people may never need. Certainly, churching it up and trying to convince you of otherwise is NOT the reason why Cindy and I decided to make this video series. All we would ever hope to do is share why we chose to get one for our JL Wrangler and based on our experiences running ProRock axles over the last 10 years and across thousands of miles on Moby, Rubicat and even Nemo. However, I wouldn’t want you to take my word for it. Instead, I would encourage you to look through the myriad of videos that we’ve made since 2007 and see for yourself, just how strong and reliable, all our Dynatrac axles have been for us. Thanks for watching.

That means a lot to us. It's always our concern that people may not want to watch a video as long as this but don't know if it'd be the same if we cut corners. Glad to hear it went by fast for you

Great video Eddie. Always love learning about stuff is made.
My first question was why the RCVs given what you said in the past. Seems like that was others question as well since it was asked and answered on the front page. Lol. That axle is a beast.

LOL!! Believe me, RCV wasn't my first choice by any means. It was simply the only thing available for this application or at least, at the time this video was made. If we wanted the axle now, it's what we had to go with.

I've finally had a chance to view this video in my hotel room in Atlanta...I tried several times in Argentina and it wouldn't load for some reason.
First, it is an excellent video from every standpoint...content, camera angles, narration and editing. Having been a small business owner in the past, I realize how important it is to a business in having quality, experienced, long term employees...it is the lifeblood of any business; Jim certainly has achieved that with Dynatrac, and it is evident in the quality product they make.
It will be interesting to see how the 5.13 gears work with the deep 1st & 2nd gearing of the auto transmission in power to the wheels and crawling on the rocks...I suspect it will be a big improvement, especially since you've been running 37" tires.
Keep them coming please!...

Glad you were finally able to watch our video and that you enjoyed it. I would have said that I hope you had a good trip but looking at the photos you posted, I think that is clear.

Thanks for sharing. I really love the in depth look at this. Now if only the nay-sayers would watch these. Maybe they'd understand the cost over a competitor or a junkyard rebuild. Once we're finished working on the new house I'm going to see what the bank account has remaining...:crazyeyes:. I am going to be getting 37's later this year and will need to be regeared. If I can swing it I plan on getting the PR44 housing and doing an internal swap in the process. Buy once, cry once...haha. It'd save some money in the end over buying it and having it done then.
