Hoser, any added interest in this?
Is this something you were heading off, or just an information bulletin for us?
If someone needs to run this one up, please step forward - as everyone else steps back :)
Thanks,
Heading this off? I would say just organizing a group buy more than anything else, I had seen a increase in talk about long travel axles for the Honda Pilot,
Dave-Co is cutting up the stock axles but it takes 4 stock axles to make one pair of his LT axles, its a great innovative way to recycle the stock axles that would probably never be used but sooner or later he will run out of the stock axles and then need to but LT axles, the ATVR axles has a history of axles failing, I am also now a LT Pilot owner so would like a spare set, so I contacted Marv at 4x4 tuff to see if he will run another batch, personally I rather use his axles since they have proven to be 100% and have never failed, broke, no fitment problems and the diameter is correct so the CV boots seal properly, not to mention the ONLY REASON I need a spare set is because of the shit ATVR sold, they seem to be experts at creating problems then providing solutions to the problems by SELLING YOU SOMETHING and taking more of your money I would love to avoid their stupidity all together if possible
So I contacted Marv about getting more made he said he would need to take pre orders and get commitments of at least 10 sets of axles before he will have another batch made, he would need a $250.00 deposit up front for each set before he had these made, I will assume Marv has reached the age where he no longer wants to tie up thousands of dollars on parts laying around for a limited production 25 year old machine, cant say I blame him. He noted he will need to make 25 sets to keep the price the same.
Right now it looks like the following people are interested in a pair of axles (correct me if I am wrong)
1. cruz_01
2. stix (maybe?)
3. Pilot bird
4. nitrosport_5 (if they are the same length as the Dave-Co axles have to confirm this )
5.
Mudbogger6. consol
7. Brittabrat (if they fit the Dave-Co LT kit)
8.

9.go oddy
10. Mudbogger (one set possibly more) Anybody else?
How about long travel Pilot owners who just wanted to buy ONE axle as a spare and not two maybe they can team up with another member buy a pair and split them up, if their is interest in just buying one I will contact Marv see if he has a problem just selling one axle at a time so it does not complicate the logistics of buying a pair and the shipping thing...
