I looked at turning them down but the reasearch I turned up I found that having the 8 tabs as the wheel mounting surface wasnt sufficient strengthwise. Some guys have machined and welded a flat plate onto the tabs for a wheel mounting surface.

not a throttle jockey, currently on 37" mtrs, will be at least 40" tsl's before EJS, hopefully 42's if I can get them to fit....
Not concerned about the strength, those 8 tabs are far beefier than anything on my old Toy axle.

Running 42s I suspect you'll quickly learn to be concerned about strength.

isn't the whole point of a d60 to not worry about breaking?

just a thought.. don't sacrifice the whole objective just to save a few bucks

yeah yeah everything can break but d60s are less likely to break than d44s. a good, steady driver can have a d60 last a lifetime... but yeah you are gonna BREAK THE HELL OUT OF YOURS (you are not a good, steady driver, but rather a crazy sonofagun).

about the steap ahead thing,
ehhh who's keeping track... bastard!!
i wish i could say i didn't care, but we both know i do.
by "come over and hang out sometime" do you mean come over and admire your d60 and let the jealousy settle in?? is that what you mean?? PRICK!

yeah i will have to come over sometime and check it out
