Ha how is everyone. Okay I was just wondering it anyone knew of a company that sells an all metal turnbuckle. Thats including both ends and is fully adjustable. If not how much do you think a set is worth. They are suposible made out of titanium centers and 4030 aircraft aluminum ends. The only modification that has to be done is drilling out the mounts on the truck so the screw can fit through and a nut put on the other side. Just wondering how much they would be worth shout some prices back at me please
 
No no one sells them not all metal ones. They all have plastic rod ends. I work at a machine shop and am having a guy here build me a set. But to order what I need to make them I had to order enough to make them for about five trucks. That is the reasoning behind my question. If they work good on my truck I might sell a couple of sets to cover the cost of building them.
 
There is a company that makes an all Titaniuml turnbuckle. Be prepared to drop a few bills at $100 a set.... I was not happy with them at all. The locking nut would back off the rod end, & cause the turnbuckles to come out of adjustment... Just my opinion...

Did you use threadlock?

Because, those sure look nice and heavy. Wonder how long before there's slop though. Did you check to see if you can get replacement ends?

I just sent them an e-mail anyway to ask.

$99 and no wrench? :confused: Cheap bastards...
 
I received an email from them but it must be at home. They stated that noone has asked for parts yet and they have been selling them for over a year. When i get home, i'll post it so all can see.
 
While I was running my BeastMaxx turnbuckles, I managed to shear off one of the screws that hold them in place. I emailed them, & it was quickly replaced. Later on, I managed to snap the end off another in a bad collision, so I replaced em with Lunsfords... If anyones interested, I have 2 fronts & 1 rear in great shape that I will sell for $45. All you have to do is buy another rear from BeastMaxx & you'll have a complete set for well under what there charging...
Shoot me a PM if interested....
