Well I've just finished the hoop kit on Nick's 2001 Dmax to meet DHRA pulling rules. These kits will work on both manual and auto shifting transfer cases. There will be two kits one for manual, one for auto transfer case & with or without center hoops for each. I will have pic's of center hoops soon. Here are the pic's we have.
Tom

It took three trys to get the #@$%$ pic's up

Is this so thats if something was to happen at the u koiny the drivshaft wont come put and destroy the underside of the truck??

Those look good. That will save alot of people alot of head aches fabin them up on there own

Nice setup! :ro)

Hey Tom, while you had it on the lift did you under coat it too):h Nice to finally see the finished product.

Nick

it almost looks to clean to put under that truck!....:joke: . looks good, glad to see options like this are starting to surface

Nicks going to pull with that truck, oh boy):h

Yeah yeah, I know. The amount of salt they use up here really takes it's toll. It should all be cleaned up by spring.


Nick

so what are the front ones going to run?

:exactly:

Nice work though.

Gee,,, they look similar to the ones on duramaxracing.com,,,,,

Prices and are they steel or alum.?
Steel, I will post price after I have cost on the powered coating.
Tom

looks pretty good

how about when you have a two piece driveshaft?

how about when you have a two piece driveshaft?
If I get more than two or three that want them. I will hunt down a two pice truck & make a set for them.
Tom

Looking good Tom, Nick need all the protection he can get ......

(from himself:muahaha: ):lol:

I'm interested.

I'm interested in the 2 piece, can you give me a estimate of the weight of the units? thanks

I'm interested in the 2 piece, can you give me a estimate of the weight of the units? thanks

ditto

I under stand that there is weight limit & the two piece drive shaft dually's are close to it. I can make the pipe AL buy it will close to triple the price of the kit. If all the two piece units are steel shafts 4” this could make for a liter kit.
Tom

hi tom,

could you give me the approx weight then i can tell if i need them to be al. thanks

hi tom,

could you give me the approx weight then i can tell if i need them to be al. thanks

I will weigh the set on monday
Tom

shouldn't be too hard getting down to weight. I have a CC/LB dually, and I weigh around 400 myself. At IRP I got down to 8K.... lost the tailgate, 1/4 tank fuel, no gooseneck hitch, or toolbox, plus I still had 200#'s hanging up front, so I'm not too concerned about the weight.

I talked to one guy in CA siad that he would have to shave to get the kit on.
Tom
P.S.
Are all the two peice drive shafts steel

Tom do you have a kit for the 1-piece alumimum "telephone pole" shafts used on crewcab shortbeds?

Doug

Tom do you have a kit for the 1-piece alumimum "telephone pole" shafts used on crewcab shortbeds?

Doug

Doug,

Will have for both 4" steel & 6" AL

Tom

Tom, as far as I know all the two piece shafts are steel.

I will goto the stealer & talk to Dave & look at some new trucks this week just to make shure.
Tom

hi tom, my cc lb 05 has al drive shafts

hi tom, my cc lb 05 has al drive shafts
OH boy! I guess that means there the 6" polls? I will have to look at doing all them at the larger size to simplify the production of the units.
Tom

What's the ETA on the kits?

I should have the new price for the larger hoops by the end of the week.
I will be taking orders after that & should have them done in about four weeks. The power coat line ouly does the hi gloss back marble once or twice a month.
Tom

Cool. That should make pullin season then. Thank you.

so are you doing aluminum as well?

Anyone have a price??

Can't find AL tube the rifgt size. I will keep looking, but for now it will only be the steel.
Tom

I have alot of work this week & as soon as I have a chanse to work it out I will post it.

Oh cool. You stayed at the shop late tonight and got the prices figured out.

Some notes on the kits. You will need to drill a cupple of holes, two in frame & two in the flange of the diff. This is only for the rear kit. I will send a spacer tool in the kit to help you set it up. All hard ware needed with be in the kits you only need drill, bits & hand tools.
Tom

will it matter if you have a lift kit or not

Check is in the mail - thanks Tom.

Doug
