Closed (for now): Group Buy: IEDLS Polyurethane Carrier Bearing

You did your part to give back to Tw haha

 

Email sent about an hour ago. Thanks again for doing all the leg work, being the test rig and setting this thing up roberto. Ur the man bro!

 

Haha oh man definitely so. I'm waiting for Round 2 to kick off. Lol.

My build is all about making things that are theoretically not supposed to work on our trucks, work. No problem!

 

Her is how mine is mounted. Built a whole new crossmember that the bearing is isolated on bushings. It's a little muddy from last weekend and that's my spare Timken bearing (same specs just softer) but you get the idea

 

We demand better pics without the mud. Come on guys, tell @Supermoto to wash his undercarriage so we can better see his crossmember and CB assembly!

 

Haha I'll try to wash it soon and get pics but it's pretty simple. And if it can survive on my truck pulling 25" of travel anyone else should be fine. Just make sure it's not too low, that will create some bad vibration.

This is it drooped out

 

People really don't give our driveshafts the credit that they deserve. They have some AMAZING drop out of them and I can see that after messing with the shafts and bearing assembly. The slip joint after the bearing has TONS of articulation and overall it is a very well built DS. A little work on the weak point which is the carrier bearing is a well rewarding mod.

The rain finally stopped and the roads dried up today. I hammered it at a take off and the truck just feels SOLID at take off from idle to redline RPM. No vibes, no frills, just a nice build up of boost from the supercharger to the engine to the rear end. Hook and drag.

 

Holy toledo batman!!!

 

Bonzen runs the same bearing it's very tested and proven

 

And there the members have it. Tested by @Supermoto @Bonzen and myself. I'm not sure if they are boosted or not, but Landon runs it on a V8 Gen 1 Tundra linked and full out race capable, as well as Bonzen's full race capable Gen 1 Taco and my own boosted all out MT 2nd gen Taco. They will take a beating and keep on tickin'.

Mandatory hang time pic of my own.

 

Seeing how much demand there is and the fact that I literally just replaced my CB I'm willing to wait till the next round and give up my spot in this buy to someone

 

I'll drop you out. Thanks for letting me know.

 

I get about 4 seasons on the yellow poly bearing. It's worth it's weight in gold, literally haha

 

And since I am a Mall Kralwer it should last a lifetime

 

I'll settle for half a lifetime for the wheeling that I do.

 

I barely go over dirt

 

I'm not sure the list really means a lot bc I haven't heard back from IDELS and it's now 1:45 EST (sent email yesterday afternoon about 4pm EST). FWIW I'm #36 on the list.

I got a reply last night. FYI I also asked if they carry our u joints and they said they do carry our u joints. However, they aren't the same ones I originally posted as Spicer have came out with better versions with different names for our trucks. Here is the email word for word below regarding u joints.
