Not in a sprag truck. Unless you're up for removing the front driveshaft each time.

I had been following the other thread profo (I think that's his user ID) was posting about them. I was eager to purchase a set. But it'd have to be around $1500 mark for me to consider them. (Double/triple the cost of 2.5T hubs) I in no way discredit the amount of effort and work put into...

I spied a pic on facebook today, seems the hub has reproduced!

I'm guessing when it's listed in the classifieds or vendor section. Speculative pricing might happen though.

Steve6x6x6 has the means to cut splines.

Lead. :whistle: 4140 is pretty common when it comes to axles.

Work faster! LOL Can't wait to see this happen.

Very doubtful they'll be any wiggle room on the price. Locked marine truck axles go for what his lockers go for each.

My follow up email was that. Ill let you know what he says.

I got an email from him a couple of days ago. He was ordering material to do 20 of them.

So I called Gearhart just now. He's actually got a prototype in the works. His hanging point right now was with the springs. But he thinks he's found a source for them that aren't as costly. I know it's been talked about for a while in this thread. But he said he hoped to have the working...

Any further progress on this?

Rapid prototypes are neat. But if I fork over $1500, I'd like something a little more substantial than a paperweight. I'm not questioning anyone's character here. Just making an observation that I believe would be held by the entire group. I'd be ready to pay up for a set of hubs if someone...

You had mentioned about an aluminum casting company you knew of. I assumed you meant casting the outer section of cast. The dial could be cast from alum. Since it only has to slide the coupler down and doesn't really bear the load. But the outer housing of the warn style 5 ton hubs are cast...

The outer housing of the hubs wouldn't at all hold up if they were made from cast aluminum.

If getting a casting is too much trouble. Why not just have flanges laser cut for the mounting surface and the outer surface where the dial would go. Then use a section of tubing to join them. It'd be another mfg step and not as fast as a casting. But laser cutting might end up being a wash...

I'm just interested in one for my SEMTT project since it would cut down on drag on the front end. When it comes to breakage/recovery. I have a fleet of vehicles that could handle it. I understand though that not everyone has that option. And I certainly wouldn't want to buy something that...

I do have an idea. Take a pair of standard drive flanges and have the centers machined completely out. Buy a pair of these: http://www.grainger.com/product/HUB-CITY-Precision-Splined-Hub-15V670 Then make a cap out of them with the hub. Drill the stock drive flange to have a perimeter of...

Yup.
