Just robbed this.. Shows it better than most other pics I could find with a quick search although the axle has obviously had other work done on it.



Would want extra work right out to the knuckles aswel as that big truss for a proper job.


And I guess its bigger perches to stop axle wrap?

Cheers Dan. Better get the welder out again. Is there anyone in the uk who sells the gusset kits? Just googled it but couldn't find nothing in the uk.

Offroad armoury used to sell axle trusses, I would presume they still do???

My new axles I bought off tim pink are sleeved with 3" red band tube, think its got a 6mm wall then uses pipe caps for diff guards, here's one of his pics when he first did them, ill get a few pics next time I'm at the workshop.



One thing to note though, when you truss a suzuki axle I would take it very very slow! It's very easy to warp a suzuki axle welding it, literally just tack it on, let it cool, weld a tiny bit, go for a cuppa, weld a tiny bit more, leave it to cool, weld a tiny bit more, have a cig, weld a tiny bit more, have some lunch, weld a tiny bit more, have a cuppa etc. and don't run any long beads of weld, just and inch or so at a time.

Tidy looking job that one Scottie. What all the brackets for? Must be for a fairly modded Zuk?

Cheers

That's the full float converted rear so has all the disc brake mounts off a front axle, hubs etc. the tabs are the shock mounts.

Ahhh, looks well.
