Teraflex JK after trying to climb Potato Salad Hill at Easter Jeep Safari 2011

Dude, I say well done. It's due to people like you, prepared to be the "guinea pigs" that allow us to buy a quality finished product in the end. Love your JK mate, bad luck this was caught on video..that being said, how one views it is based on perspective. I don't see this as negative = my perspective.

So much for Dana 60 reputation.

Hmmm... our group of stock H2s walked right up PSH without any breakage.

0:00 ouch..!

In my opinion, That what makes Teraflex great. They test their products in real environment and they test them to the maximum limit.

Great work Teraflex and keep going !

[antistaaa]

are'nt you the same person who rolled this jeep, looks like you have some serious bad luck, you can still see the dents from the roll too!

I have Teraflex control arms on my JK and they are pretty bullet-proof. I don't doubt their quality.

I was there, standing probably no more than 3 feet from this camera. Never once has teraflex failed to put on a show. Obviously, there is no exception here. This kinda stuff happens all the time to any rig, and yes..... He came down on that wheel unbeleivably hard and with that gnarly 6.1 rapped out like it was would turn just about any D60 shaft into a Tooth Pick.

Thanks for the show T-flex! Looking forward to next year.

You would think teraflex would test there shit in a controlled environment . Like most companies do.

I say BS.

Ok Potato Salad Hill fanatics … Glad I could give you a show ... Here's the real story. ... ... ... This was a prototype my private vehicle that I gave to TaraFlex to build and allow them to advertise and try out new design and engineering on. The original prototype axels were a 35 spline 60 shaft pressed into a … you guessed it … STOCK HUB! Same as what comes in every TERA CRD60 axle straight from the factory. It is semi float, uses the big bearing cup and set 20 bearing.

[MyOrangeJK]

Cont’d 2 … When built as a prototype three years ago, TeraFlex was still developing 44 parts and only had the brake calipers and backing plates. The background story is this … … TeraFlex was trying out different shaft hardening. They only put them into a few select customer (that would be mine) and employee rigs. As it turned out, the hardening didn't go deep enough into the shaft. The shafts on the prototypes were soft and would twist and break right @ the flange or bearing.

[MyOrangeJK]

Cont’d 3 … They had this happen with about 4 different rigs, until they got the hardening correct. Then all the test shaft were suppose to be replaced and destroyed. Stupid me didn't come in to get them changed out. Thus this happening. They were test shafts that were suppose to be replaced. There you go, the real story. Too bad it happened in front of 2,200 people! MY BAD! ... ... ... Lesson … Weight + horsepower + prototype shafts + bounce = video.

[MyOrangeJK]

Cont’d 4 … AND for the record.. That thing is WICKED heavy and fast 6000lbs easy if not more. One similar w/ smaller tires, stock t-case vs atlas and less stuff inside was weighed @ 5800lbs. Add to that a 500 horses in a 6.1 Hemi and the rest of the insanity and … … … video. BTW … six other successful runs on PSH taking the same line have never presented a problem … … How well … Well … NO PAIN, NO GAME!

@MyOrangeJK it's no pain no gain...
