Oh how far the industry has come from, Dana 60s to military axles to full-blown custom-made axles

@tomtaphorn7870 Рік тому

That's impressive casting your own housings

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?

Does Bigfoot build chassis for people who are building there own truck?

@bigfoot4x4 Рік тому

We do not build monster trucks for other people.

@carl9964 Рік тому

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.

@tonyb3307 Рік тому

Is that a ZF casting or your own casting?

@bigfoot4x4 Рік тому

Our casting (notice the BIGFOOT stamp on it at the end of the video), but we still use ZF internals.

@jaybarber68 Рік тому

You guys got your own foundry? When did these axles replace 5 ton military axles?

@danielnunez3518 Рік тому

Military axles were replaced by heavy machinery axles sometime in the early 90s. Now you have these

@waynenorbreyjr9638 Рік тому

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.

I'd rather see how one of the older five ton top loader axles were made to Bigfoot specifications. Grafting the planetaries on

@Aint1S Рік тому

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.

@waynenorbreyjr9638 Рік тому

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?.
