Dragoonranch(Ed) has them. He can give you some real life input on them.

krawlin1988 · 02-08-2010, 11:22 AM

Are they worth it if not im going to pass on them

Mitch · 02-08-2010, 11:23 AM

Define "worth it". Did you find a deal on some or are they regular price?

krawlin1988 · 02-08-2010, 11:27 AM

Well I can get two for 500 but if there not good for offroading then there not worth it

Jeromy · 02-08-2010, 11:35 AM

Again, are you talking about an old closed knuckle D60? They are birf axles and not the 60's you are looking for.

Im not sure if they are closed again ive never heard of them just wanted to see if they were worth it

Damn camels.....

Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this.

Are you talking about these?

Longfields (now sold by RCV)

or a closed knuckle 60?

(That looks something like this)

If you are talking about the Longfields, they are well worth 500 bones! If you don't want them I will definitely take them! They had a small problem with loose tolerances in the ball bearing races in the first runs, but they tightened it up and work great now. They just need a few shots of grease now and again (once or twice a year unless you are running them down the road).

Closed knuckle 60, not so much.

I have never heard of a birfield/cv for the 60 other than the longfield, anyone else know of one?
