Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just wanting to know if anyone has had custom mog axles made & where ?
I've move the front diff to the right hand side & need new axles.
Had the old ones cut & shut but they didnt go the distance.
thanks

Jeff

u broke em at RTP?

outers may not be the best place for this

I distinctly remember a few US places that were doing this?

$495USD each machined from 4340 and hardened.

I don't think anyone has broken one of these yet.

Jeff, give me a call when you have some time.

Bartso is getting custom axles done for his 406 diffs as he has already had his housing cut & centres moved. Give him a call & see what he has in mind. You both might be able to help each other ?

hey jeff have you tried rovertracks? keith will make them. or yuri, or hytuff.

Has anyone got the speed issue solved with these things. Would be awesome to fit to a tourer if they could do 120kph

have u tried ditching the oil and going for synthetic in the portals? they tend not to cook as much with it!, also wat sort of gearing is available? im guessing very limited

The only issue is that the mog portals use helical gears. There are guys in the US who do those sort of speeds regularly without problems.

If worried, you could fit an oil recirc/cooling system, or use straight cut portals like volvo or maxi-drive.

Hey Jeff let me know how you get on with the custom shafts as Im thinking I may need to narrow one side of mine.
Even if I offset the rims it sits farken wide with the disc conversion.
Also if I narrow the short side on the front I can fit the diff around the motor a bit better.

you can get a go fast ratio set for the 406's pretty $$$$$ though, you'd be better off grafting a different centre into them

I was watching some footage from a comp over there the other day, saw your car, thought "wow, they're big big tyres for a Range Rover".

Took me a few minutes to realise they were the old wheels I built

Yep there still going!! Ordered axles from branikmotorsport hope to have them buy the end of month!!

should be no worries to get axles made local. Done quite a few, just need to know axle length, front engine or rear engine? Last time I got them made it was about $650 an axle. That's for a 404 axle.

I am currently working on 406/416.

PM me if you want to know more, there is a few tricks you should know about.

Thanks Matt, but already ordered from Braniks.
They seem to know there stuff, hope they know
your tricks !!


Jeff

Well finially got my axles & there for a mog 406 not my 404
so if someone wants them let me know
there friggin huge!!!!


long side is 796mm
short is 406mm with locker spline


Jeff

what material did they make them from?

cheers,
Serg

4340 I believe plus heat treated


Jeff

PM Bartso as he has 406's but he has cut them down & moved the centres to suit his needs. Not sure if your lengths will work for him but no harm in finding out.



brooksy

bummer about your axles jeff,

hijack - if anyone knows of 2 steer 404's or 406's please pm me.

already sent pm to bartso & yes it is a bummer, but there going to put it right..
