locktup4x4.com.au or direct from longfield

thanks, will look them up

contact snake racing, i got a set of dirty 30 chromo cvs and axles for $800 a few months ago

Also look at LowRangeOffroad, they are in the states and do Zook and Lux stuff.
And another vote for Locktup, they have been great to deal with.

got a set from mental 4x4 for $700

I wouldnt even touch that dirty 30 garbage, I know of to many people that have had no luck with them, go the original and the best, Longfeilds

havent had 1 problem, stick cvs i broke 7 in 5 trips so i would say they are perfect for the application, ill consider your opinion when you have owned a set yourself

What brand did you get from Darren??
700 seems like a good price too.

would have been the NITROS he sells

Look at Jimmy's sig and then google what you find.

I have longfields.
Have Cals too.

I think Jimmy's comment is perfect!

dirty 30's are just fine, i know more blokes that have shredded Longfields than any other cromo brand, for what it's worth.

At the chromo axle shop.

I found k-mart had the best prices last time i looked

Probably because they are the most common.. Thats like saying you see more Commodores broke down on the side of the road than Ferraris.

Have dirty 30's in mine,front and rear locked on 38's full lock bouncing up a rock face repetedley trying to break them with no luck.


The mental 4x4 ones are rubbish

DO the dirty 30's have a full replacement warranty? Longfields are worth the extra money in my opinion and ill be ordering a set when the time comes.

life time warranty

Isnt it lifetime warranty on them, then if you break them, they send out a new set, then if you break the replacements, they give you a big discount on the next set??

I think that the Track Assassins axles/CVs from Locktup are like that.

i think its only the track asisns with that deal but they on elhave a 5 year warranty

considering use are paying $800 for a set of dirty 30s and u can get a set of longs and hub gears direct from longfield for $1000 inc shipping i dont know why u wouldnt just go longs? at the end of the day i really dont care what anyone else buys ill stick to my longfields and use can stick to your dirty30s

who pays the postage to send them back to america for a warranty claim? gues they would be worth the money then yeah? ll that stuffing around and extra cost no thanks, sometimes it pays to keep you business in australia

have you ever reasearched bobby long and his cv's n axles? he only needs to see a pic and will ship them out straight away too you, at the end of the day mate i do not care what u run all i know is that on 40" tyre I have alot more confidence in my longfeilds than I would with dirty30s and as for your remark on "keeping your buisness in australia" there both a usa product anyway

not everyone is running a 40 inch tyre, most run a 35 and in my case a 33, as for being american products i know this but buying them from australian suppliers keeps OUR people employed, theres a reason 4wd shops are closing left right and center.

when have you run a 40'' tyre? seems like your buying shit and then selling it new

that's cos there too greedy and put too much mark up this industry is too small to be ripping people off

Kirtis has lockers front and rear, and broke 7CVs in 5 trips out. So chromos where a necessity for him.

He Must Be Driving Way Hard To Do That Many. Maybe Less Right Foot For A Start
