    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Just finished assembling a bunch of them and will start a giveaway thread on Monday.

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Just received the hubsteps and have a few sets that are still not spoken for. Would still like to do some kind of a giveaway too. Moderators, is it alright if I start a new thread to do a lottery-style giveaway like they do on pirate4x4?

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Received the new samples and they look great. Much better than those parts that I had Ballistic cut for me. Satisfied with the quality, went ahead and ordered 10pr. Price will be $150pr. That will include priority flat-rate shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 and they will come...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Think I've found a place to get these hubsteps made. Cost has gone way up though. But hopefully, the quality will reflect that. Planning on having a small batch of these made, and will not be taking any money until I have parts ready to ship, but would like to hear from anyone who is interested...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Finally received the 1st batch of parts, but they're **** for quality. Sorry for the delays guys, but I don't want to sell anything less than first-rate products. Will post-back as soon as I know more.

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    That's a good idea about the dummy caps, but I don't think it would make too much sense to make them an integral part of these hubsteps. Simple/separate sheetmetal part might be better in this case. Could definitely have some of those made though if there's any interest. If you want to cut some...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Sorry for the delay. Being told that they've been having problems with their laser all month, and have been promised that hubsteps will ship by the end of this week. Thanks for your patience, to those of you that have been waiting.

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Just talked to Ballistic, and they said parts should ship by this wednesday. Evidently their laser table was down, and had to be serviced, so my order got delayed. Sorry for the hold-up to those of you that have been waiting. I'll post-up as soon as I receive them, and will be able to start...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    After I sell through this first batch, the price is going up to $125/pair (including shipping, and SS donations will continue). This introductory pricing and the giveaway is just my way of saying thanks to everyone for your support!

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Got the new samples welded-up and installed on Mah Deuce today. Really happy with how they turned-out. So I gave Ballistic the green-light to go ahead and cut the rest of them. Should have hubsteps available and ready to ship within the next week or so. I'm going to offer this first batch...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Thanks. They're not particularly useful on the back two axles on Mah Deuce, which is singled on 11:00's on custom wheels, but that's just because of the box. I only put them on there so show how they fit and what they look like.

    Thanks! Glad you like 'em.

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    And here's what they look like on Mah Deuce: The small hooks that I added to the end of each of the spokes keep the wheel/tire from falling off the hub while the axle is up in the air. The way that the profile of the spokes also makes it a LOT easier to mount a wheel/tire. Just hang it...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    So here's how they went together: Start by fitting each of the spokes into the slots in the inner step-ring Then position the inner step ring and all the spokes on top of the bolt ring (the steps are keyed to the bolt-ring) Then set the outer step ring down top of all the spokes (the...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    I'm not sure, but I think it's likely that I'll end up offering an unwelded kit for sale. The pieces all lock together, so assembly and welding is a breeze. Plus, I'm not really trying to go into the business of making/selling anything on a large scale, so if I can save myself the trouble of...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Just received the first samples of the new hubsteps (having Ballistic Fabrication cut all the parts for me). Will post some more pics of them mounted on Mah Deuce after I weld 'em up. 1st batch of hubsteps will be available as soon as I've verified that the new design is good to go. Pricing...

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    Got a few pair of the 'old-style' hubsteps listed for sale in the classified section.

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    I like the idea of making hubsteps that bolt onto the lug studs like Jones suggested, but those individual studs sticking out wouldn't work for me. Too vulnerable.

    Hubsteps for Deuces

    I don't mind a bit, but you might want to consider starting a new thread, or maybe continuing this discussion here.

    Sorry. Just purged.
