Hey everyone, hope all is well.

Silly question, but what/how/where does everyone buy those stub axels that you guys weld to the rear bar and attack rear carriers. Do you have to get the sleeve machined and also how does the bearing system work?

Just curious as I want to make up a carrier soon.

You could use a trailer stub axle, it would be planty strong enough.

Alternately use some solid bar, match or macine it to some inner races, do the same with the outer sleeve then weld your stuff to it.

you can buy the sleeve pre made ready to weld your carrier onto (just not sure where )
