replacement axles

As some may know, Big R caused me to break a axle Sat. LOL. I don't want to replace with stock parts, broke one so odds are I will break another. What about the Gorilla Axles??? Who has knowledge of which different ones? Thanks in advance. RR

I don't think it was Big-R that caused you to break an axle. I think it had a little more to do with the liquid courage!

That being said, I am aware of Gorilla brand and Rhino brand. Tmanpoker had to replace one before the ride, so he may be able to chime in on what he replaced it with.

Haha I think the alcohol injection get hung open?? Not sure though. But would like to know what others have learned. RR

I have rhinos and they have held up good

i know rhinos have mixed reviews. Personal opinion... they are junk. Gorilla are expensive but you get what you pay for they are tough. I got turners now and they are also not cheap but they do the job.

has anyone heard of "STI Slasher axles???"

I have +6 Rhino axles all around and have yet to break one and I'm tough as hell on stuff.

Have heard good reviews on the High Lifter axles. They are priced about like the Gorilla.

You wanted to follow so I lead.......

So far so good with my rhinos.

I have Rhinos and Gorilla's lol.. Honestly I dont' think the Gorilla's are worth the price.. My rears have some play in the cvs. The axles cost more so do the parts for them. So far the only axles I have broke were stock and LSR shafts though.. So I've had 4 brands so far.. Turners are probably the best, But they are $$$. More then I'm willing to pay. For the price I think Rhinos are tuff to beat.. This is coming from someone who will not buy anything from super ATV... well except axles :)

Now that is an endorsement

LOL You guys act as if Tmanpoker is hard on things. LOL

I wish I had immediate access to the picture of the day we hung his Ranger from a Tree. Warn Winch said there winch brakes were strong enough to hold a ranger so we had to try it out. They were right!

I have a +6kit and had broken 2 axle shafts. replaced with Rhino +6 axles and so far so good.

I ordered 2 rear Cobra axles, we will see how they hold up. If I can't break em they will be good ones????/

I just put 2 cobras in the front of my rzr, I've read nothing but good about them. They do have a different sized axle nut on them than others so you'll have to carry another sized socket.

I will follow you anywhere Big R, well almost..............

My bet is he breaks something else..... He's one of them "Outlaw, Honey badger" types

I've broken several axles including both Gorrila and Rhinos. I just go back with Rhino cause you cant beat them for the price IMO. Gorrilla was just a waste of money for me. No experience with Cobras but the Turner Nitro seem to have the best rep but $$$$$$- I think I could break all of them so for the price Im sticking with Rhinos.

Learning curve here on breaking cv/axles --If you run the trails hard and fast say for 20-30minutes, those cv/axles get HOT! If you dont let them cool down before getting real technical and stressing them out on the rocks- They will break!

....but he only gets that way after a great deal of liquid courage and several grown men egging him to do something he wouldn't normally do.

Yep, and when Bonzo and I rag him all day about going around the rough stuff, like the hard part of trail 5 at Brimstone. That is how he got the latest axle. Too much peer pressure and Crowne Royal.
