joblock Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 does anyone have a straight rear axle and nut? It's for a 99 but I think they're all the same. Willing to trade toilet paper or possibly an intact tool strap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'm sure there's a straight one around my yard someplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockmeupto125 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 USPS has doubled domestic, and tripled prices over the borders in the last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoWhee Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Ugh it's crazy, I can get stuff shipped from China and Europe faster and cheaper than I can from the US now. You'd think having that huge border with multiple land crossings would make things quicker and easier, but nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think the axle will fit in a flat rate envelope, cheap & easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cross country small package went up less than a buck. Maybe you still ship at an actual post office and the counter rate is up? It's not double though, for sure.

rockmeupto125 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I typed an answer, don't know where it went. I do ship at a post office. Fancy, huh? And an axle is pretty good sized, if it fits in an envelope it will be really fat to be protected enough not to get outside the envelop by the time it gets a thousand miles away. A little over $8 for an envelope, $11 and change for a box. Still cheaper and faster than UPS. Shipping is a rip. I marvel at how I can get free shipping on a $10 item that comes in an 18x24 box, yet it costs me nearly $20 to ship the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I just shipped out a pretty big box with a Jeep cover for $14 including the box itself, and feel like it's really cheap. I'm not sure how much the extra charge is for going to a post office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as long as you don't get suckered into giving him your address you're probably fairly safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverbird1100 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Not sure if this helps but I know an F4i axle fits my 919. There are noticeably lighter too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joblock Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Not sure if I would want a lighter axle. The Stock Axl was definitely bent. Granted that was with a slick and a wheelie bar. but I think I would stay with stock for the safety Factor.

superhawk996 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Strange thing about stuff like that, a hollow tube can be more resistant to bending than a solid bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXitanium Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 With the same mass, you get more strength (larger diameter tube) than a rod. You get more moment of inertia. Manufacturers would fo this to save cost of manufacture. Rod or pipes of the same diameter, the rod is stronger. https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=47722.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
