Random Thoughts.....

Dunno, I rarely ever do anything in Portland, I just go to a lot of the surrounding area. I know there are a lot of highly regarded restaurants and coffee shops there though, most of which I've never been to. :D

If you like really pretty outdoor stuff, go to Cape Elizabeth and visit Two Lights State Park. The Lobster Shack (on the rocks nearby) is decent, but a little pricey ($20 lobster roll, etc). Two Lights is about 5 miles away from Portland. We always go there at least once to play around on the rocks and look at the ocean.

I keep a google drive spreadsheet for random shit I want to do my Jeep. Has multiple different axles, like fab 9's, steering 14 bolts, and other random shit that is out of reach. Although a steering 14 bolt sound like a fun project.
 
@RatLabGuy how do thoughts work? And why are some people's broken?

Why a SF 60?

I was just stating that somebody makes an axle shaft with a flange big enough for 8 lugs.

The reason is I was looking for a 35 spline semifloat axle shaft for a set 20 bearing 9". It would make a 9" front axle significantly cheaper being able to run the factory bolt pattern hubs (8x6.5 or 8x170).

Not everyone needs a full float rear axle. I think a semifloat is plenty for a light weight rig (3000lb and under).

Like ^ said, weight and simplicity. FF is great for carrying more weight, but also more complex and heavier. FF also makes it easier to swap out a broken shaft and puts less load on the carrier bearings.

Ah, gotcha. Out of curiosity who all did you check with?

I've always kinda figured it was one of those "I've got enough business now that I can't keep up, I don't have time to go on some wild goose chase for a single pair of axle shafts...." kinda things.

I checked with Branik, Dutchman, and Moser. I kinda stopped asking after 3 no's. They all pretty much said the same thing.
