EDIT:  Oh, "now taking pre-orders".  Guess that means they'll be available in October, 2005...

little bit too much cash for my likeing.  i would swap in a 9in before getting a set of those.

lol Pre order.......

$139 per axle? That sounds cheap! I paid almost $200 per axle for my nine inch replacments. You might think a nine inch would be Bomb proof in stock form but I bent 4 stock axle flanges and ended up buying some Superior axles for the rear. I havent bent any since the replacments.

 Suzuki people are the cheapest people in 4 wheeling... Thats why we get ignored by any big vendor. We dont have many vendors avalible... comments like these are why.  :-/ Id like to see us support the few vendors we do have. If you want new product to become availible this is not the way to get it.


Before anybody takes this the wrong way...

Im not pissed off...
Im not bitching anyone out in particular...
Im just making a statement

Pre-Order?
Darn, I thought we could get them Right Now.
Knowing Calmini. Order them Now.
I'm sure a must have
Gonna jump on that list b-4 it gets to long.

I'm with you, Mike.  I wasn't balking at the price, but you know how it goes...  I pre-ordered both my Rear Swing-Arm Bumper, and my Anvil, as I recall.  Seems I had a long wait for both.  Steve has a track record for announcing new products WAY before he actually starts shipping.  In my experience, however, it has been worth the wait, in both cases.  A month or two AFTER I ordered my Anvil, we had a discussion about what COLOR I thought customers would want (Calmini Blue, or that yellow metal treatment like on the belly armor).

I wonder what Rick Hawkins would charge for a used stock axle?  I think I paid $50 to him for the long inner 26-spline shaft that went in my Anvil, so I'm guessing a rear axle (stock, used), would cost more than that.  $140 each for new, bigger, better, seems reasonable.

Hehehe and I'M the cheapest!!!!


But not for long...

Hey, If I don't have to carry 5 spare axles around with me then all the better!

you should be able to chose.  or optional(sp) or something.

How about "or something"?  You don't like gold, get a rattle-can, and fix it.  Color is the last thing I'm worried about on my rig (look at my mirrors).

I had to pay $35 just for a pick it yourself stock
axle, $139 for a stronger half bomb proof axle
is a deal, I'm with Mike, custom axles will cost
you $200 each, so be happy these custom axles
are being made available for a reasonable price.
