lol, i wasn't trying to say anything negative or anything, i think it looks fragile being stuck way up there and the angles seem ridicoulus on the joints, but if it works then no problem

 BUG Dude,
Nobody respecte the sweat you got into it. It looks sweet and I hope it runs well for you. For all the other sorry comments , its slackers like you who play video games all day and the ones who think out of the box that do well in life!

They are Chromoly Gorilla axle's. Axle's will be fine there well within the specs on there build. The axle's where built for Comp. Mudding by Team Gorilla I believe for HighLifter.
are the axles and cv's made by gorilla?

I have ran the hell out of the dang thing. It runs Hotter Than A Freshly F*cked Fox In A Forest Fire!!! 
75% of the posts say something negative before positive, WTH, its designed for the way it sets.

i dont think anyone was being negative towards you, we just all thought that the cv angle was extreme from our experience. thought you should know so you could check it out before you broke them.

bugmanjr, looks good even if it is a polaris. Wink Thing you have to keep in mind on this board is that most members are sport riders so they don't know about extreme lifts. They also don't know about Gorilla axles and how they are designed to handle some crazy angles. They all think you should be able to jump hills and take corners at 40 MPH.

Nice work, can't wait to see some action pics. I'm jealous. But I have to be curious what happens if you want to ride trails?
