Oh how far the industry has come from, Dana 60s to military axles to full-blown custom-made axles
That's impressive casting your own housings
Very cool!
Love these kinds of videos. Can't wait for the open house in July
As a toolmaker. I would love to have control of the machine doing the work on the Casting. Enjoyed it Great video
Love this type of video!!!
Well that was pretty cool!
🏁 AXLELICIOUS! 🏁
. 😮😮. .
I guess Larry Swim showed some weak points in the old Zfs haha.Larry was one our favorite drivers.Im sure the paint guys dont miss him haha.Thank you Mr.Chandler for not selling out to Feld Entertainment.
interesting
I wonder if this is one of the axles for the soon to be new Bigfoot (23) truck that Dan Patrick is supposed to be building according to Jim Kramer? If what Jim said is true than I'm definitely excited to see Bigfoot and Dan Patrick back working together.
So is Bigfoot 23 going to debut before Bigfoot 22?
I'd rather see how one of the older five ton top loader axles were made to Bigfoot specifications. Grafting the planetaries on
That's really cool. I'm sure the pour is a proprietary blend of iron... Wish I could get a smaller set of axles done this way with a Dana 80 setup.
Now that its been announced that Bigfoot 23 is gonna be a reality, I wonder if Bigfoot 22 could possibly be getting these axles as well being that I've seen a set of Patrick housings up for sale?.
Does Bigfoot build chassis for people who are building there own truck?
We do not build monster trucks for other people.
I know you are building a new ride truck. Are there plans for a new race truck? It is cool to find Bigfoot 6. Thank you for getting back to me.
You guys got your own foundry? When did these axles replace 5 ton military axles?
Military axles were replaced by heavy machinery axles sometime in the early 90s. Now you have these
They got away from those when they built #8. Went to the 106's ( school bus axles as they were called) from 1989 to some time in 1991. Switched to ZF axles towards the later part of 1991 and started casting their own axles in early to middle of 2020 with Bigfoot 21 getting the first set.
Is that a ZF casting or your own casting?
Our casting (notice the BIGFOOT stamp on it at the end of the video), but we still use ZF internals.
What does one cost?
I have so many questions,
Their cast, I would have thought they were forged
Are the housings not made by ZF? Just the axle shafts?
