I was just looking through axle builders and found these guys, but I cannot find any information about the quality of their work. The axles look nice, but I'd be interested to see if anyone is running them and how they are holding up.

I have no affiliation with these guys, just curious.

Sorry, never heard of them. Looks like a nice 9. I had always considered doing something like this but with a Currie.

Does Currie still make their F9 axles? They don't show them on their website last I saw. Always loved those axles.

In related news, I saw Randy's Worldwide moved Dynatrac production to the East Coast Gear production facility. And that's when I found out that Randy's worldwide had bought Dynatrac. lol

Not 100% sure. I think you can still custom order them and yes, I loved them too.

Yeah, Randy's bought Dynatrac and a host of other companies a while back. The move was a relatively recent thing though. I have to say that a lot of good people I know who did great work did not go with them.

I kind of want to order one to replace the rear axle in my gladiator. I'm being lazy I know, Instead of fixing the rear ring gear.

This is a 9". You do know they don't have all the same gear ratios as Dana, right? Because, unless you're running 4.56 or 5.13 up front, this will NOT be an option for you.

SAWTOOTH4X4 · 2025-10-14T21:08:19+0100

I already have 5.13's in it and 37" tires. So it wouldn't be an issue.

Well, sounds to me like you've got money burning a hole in your pocket. You should fix that and with a semi-float solution

You have an entire other thread where people told you to repair the axle. Even if you paid someone labor, you're still saving a lot of money compared to putting another axle assy in it. Plus a new housing isn't going to prevent another ring gear breaking depending on how you're driving. But if you insist on a financial orgasm, go for it.

wayoflife · 2025-10-14T21:16:31+0100

I just tried looking and see that they've only been in business since maybe the beginning of the year. You should definitely be one of their very first customers

Just Empty Every Pocket

SAWTOOTH4X4 · 2025-10-14T21:37:25+0100

I can use these stock axles in another future build. They won't be going to waste.

So DO IT ALREADY! Semi-floats are so cool and will never bend at the flange. Also, if you ever decide to run bigger tires, all you'll need to do is get a new front axle or at least, if you want to run the right ratio for them

SAWTOOTH4X4 · 2025-10-14T21:52:37+0100

Wow, you are kind of a whiney baby.

This is why forums are dying, a dude asks some questions. All the "cool" kids get butt hurt. Welcome back to 2001.

I've never broken any axles on anything other than u-joints and CV-joints in Land Cruisers.

I don't normally break anything. I'm not going to go bigger than 37" tires. I'm not out there trying to be the cool guy, I could care less. Just out there enjoying 4 wheeling with the family. I want a small upgrade, I really don't need 60's so I can look like captain cool driving to the mall. Seems like that's what this forum is all about. LOL

And yet, here you have been posting away on one. Funny how "cool" guys like you get butthurt and over a whole lot of nothing. Welcome to the internet.

And yet, here you've been trying to get everyone on a "forum" to tell you what you want to hear. To buy something you clearly will never need and hey, last I checked, that's EXACTLY what I've said you should do. That you now have your panties in a bunch is truly a mystery to me LOL

Holy shit dude. You came here asking questions, ignored everyone's answers, and now we're the bad guys? You ARE the guy wanting to be captain cool blowing money on axles for no reason. Plenty of people here use their jeeps without 60s.

I honestly don't even know where the 60's thing came from. Last I saw, EVERYONE was saying that he should just fix and keep the factory axle. But hey, what would I know
