LOL!! Oh, I'm with you on this. I was just wondering being that the new ProRock 60XD should be available soon. I figured with it out and it being the top shelf axle that Dynatrac offers, the existing ProRock 60 might come down in price. If that were true, I was just wondering what it would need to sell at in order for guys considering the Mopar UD60 or the like to not even give it a second thought.
I'd say it'd be nice to come with the same standard options that the Mopar UD60s come with for the current base price. When I priced a PR60 as close to the mopar 60 as possible, the options added up quick. The 4340 axle shafts, 35 spline outer shafts, 35 spline Warn hubs, and big brakes that come standard on the ud60 made the PR60 a $9k axle. It only comes standard with Warn 30 spline hubs and outer shafts, and 35 spline inner heavy duty shafts that Dynatrac said are not as strong as a 4340 chromoly shaft.
With that said, the Dynatrac is the superior axle. Looking at my ud60 axles in the crates, it looks like more pride in product went into the crates than the axles themselves. Sloppy paint job may be something stupid to bitch about, but it shows that these are assembly line built like the rest of their axles. I've seen the "building of a PR80" video you filmed and it shows really how much time and pride Dynatrac puts in their stuff.
I bought my Mopar 60s for a pretty good deal of about a grand cheaper than they are currently selling for at some places, but I haven't uncrated them yet because I still would like to go with the PR60/80, and sell my Mopar axles to a friend who has asked if I'd sell them to him for his build.
This is what happens when you buy shit on a whim because it's cheaper than usual. Luckily I probably won't lose money selling my Mopar axles.
