Default Atomic Axles

So, i am still going back and forth on what new axles to get. I saw a thread on the atomic axles so I took a look at it. Very interesting design, but I did have some questions around it and sent an email to the folks at Atomic.

I had questions around strength/tire size, number of u-joints on a shaft, time/difficulty needed to changing out shafts if one should break, clearance requirements especially for the front since the pumpkin is in the center of the axle, and total weight.

Well, its been two days and have not gotten a response. You would think that these folks would be interested in selling this axle. I really like the idea behind it, but if they can't respond to an email from a potential buyer, I can only imagine how they would respond after you purchased one. I tried to call them today and it went right to voice mail... Such a shame!

Is there anyone making the portal axle for the JK?

I have had the same problem. I have called three times and left a message with no response, sent two emails nothing back. I am thinking Dynatrac does not have this issue.

Xtreme 4x4 is using Atomic Axles on their JK build. Kind of goofy but the theory is sound.

Dynatrac ProRock Series IMO.
