I am not happy with it.

I am going to do more trussing, don't have faith in the long side...

By the time you're done, you'll have axles that would put tractor axles to shame.

Cheers

I am happy with them. 2pk red beadlocks look cool, back axle needs another coat, ran out of gloss black.

Il build a wheel and tyre up this week. Should look pretty cool

Are the ends of the axle tubes sleeved or reinforced at all to prevent bending/flaring?

Or is it just a normal axle thats been trussed?

Just a standard axle, top truss long side, then trusses at the bottom. Gussets supporting the floating adaptor. Rest is just standard mate.

If this bends il go mad, portal axles or something. My dad has a contact in Europe who had them in stock

We shall see.
