I just looked and the only thing I see at 8pm is Dirt Trax TV. before that is ultimate adventure.

I wonder if he was planing on putting any more lights on there. dont think he will be able to see very well!

yellowjacket · 09-23-2010, 08:46 PM

maybe if carwash built him a bigger stinger he could mount more lights on it....

i like the buggy. but i dont think bigger is better on a ultra 4 style rig.

carwash · 09-23-2010, 08:57 PM

It is a bit large IMO... 49's at 120 mph, no thanks, only if they were on a 24" wheel or larger. It's a sharp looking rig. And yes, the lights seem a bit ridiculous.

JeffK5 · 09-23-2010, 09:11 PM

Didn't he yard-sale his last rig at KOH last year?

carwash · 09-23-2010, 09:47 PM

Was that him? I wouldn't have recalled it, but now that you bring it up, i think maybe yer right...

Wait, wasn't that Thorsen? hahahah!

jwend · 09-23-2010, 11:38 PM

even with a 24 inch rim could you imagine the up travel speed on that tire and rim when you hit somthing!?!?!? H.S! could end up like a hairy woman very fast...= sh!ty situation! (just incase you were wondering if that was good or bad Rob)

Just going by this note in Facebook... but, you're right, I noticed that my DVR says something non-TTC in that time slot... hoping it will fix itself by Monday...

carwash · 09-24-2010, 08:11 AM

I checked it as well, mine does not list TTC footage as the show to come on in that time slot.

94Dodge Truggy · 09-24-2010, 08:41 AM

I am so excited that i think i just dribbled a little bit!

We need to make that night a poker tournament night and watch the show as well! You get distracted and I will take the loot!

KargoMaster · 09-24-2010, 09:18 AM

Don't get too excited... the whole darn thing is just a teaser to get you to buy the DVD... But I still can't wait to see it...

carwash · 09-24-2010, 09:29 AM

I'm excited to see it, hope my DVR wakes up and finds it.

KargoMaster · 09-24-2010, 09:30 AM

Looks like we'll have a chance to see Scott and the buggy Oct 2...

Here's some more info/pics:

Those are most certainly his 80/rockwell hybrid axles...

I've got a D70HD under the back of my TJ.

Some other info on D70s:

The D70HD uses larger carrier bearings and has 4" dia axle tubes.

The D70U has a SMOOTH bottom... very nice.

Uses the same D60 pinion yokes... interchangability is nice. since you've likely got a 60 in the front(like I do).

Deeper gears available(down to 7.17) as already mentioned... I LOVE my 5.86s with stock 4.0

Not sure about 14 bolts, but most D70s have equal length axle shafts left and right... less spares.

The housing is cast steel... very easy to weld vs the 14 bolt's cast IRON center section.

1.5" diameter shafts... mine are 35 spline. There are some oddball coarse splined axles out there too but 35 spline is relatively common AFAIK.

Carriers... kinda expensive for this axle but SOME of the D70 carriers are 2pc carriers... in which case the Detroit upgrade is actually relatively cheap IIRC. Some have 1pc carriers and you need to buy a full Detroit then as well.

Another thing on gears... there is NO 5.38 gear ratio available for any D70... so if you have a D60 for the front or something already geared to 5.38s... you're better off just getting a 14 bolt instead. Similar strength but you won't be re-regearing your front axle. I found this out when the previous owner told me it had 5.38 gears... I was very happy about that... then found out that 5.38s don't exist... inspection found I have 5.86s which work really well on 40s. Tons of power and it's not too terrible shifting all the time.

Less spares to carry would certainly be nice... 14 bolts are most certainly not the same length axle shafts... but the ARE just close enough to be a pain in the a$$.

I'm betting that the D70 is probably like the wonky numbers in the D80... 4.63:1 and 5.13:1 were very "common" for the Chevy Dana80 in my OBS 3500HD...
