Jeepaholics Anonymous had the opportunity to
see this BRAND NEW product live and in person this past weekend. The new
axle offers obvious clearance advantages over the old one, and
we can only assume the high-level of quality product offered by Dynatrac
axles will be repeated with this all-new Pro Rock 60!
A set of these axles went through a multiple
roll recently on a TJ and appear to have no damage. They
were then driven 3-hours to get home afterwards! The
pictures you see are from after the roll.
The new axle will replace the shaved version
Dynatrac has been offering. The full-size housing will
still also be available through Dynatrac if you so desire to
purchase it, however, cost differences between the two are
rumored to be
minimal if any.
PRESS RELEASE:
18 March 2002, Huntington Beach, CA -- Dynatrac Products Inc., the leading
provider of performance axle assemblies and components, announced today the
Pro Rock 60, a revolutionary, high-clearance, high-pinion axle housing.
Designed especially for rockcrawlers and other hardcore 4x4 drivers, the Pro
Rock 60 offers unprecedented clearance and strength from a drive axle
employing standard Dana 60 components. The Pro Rock 60 offers 30% greater
clearance than a standard 60, including a massive reduction in the total
outside volume of the pumpkin below the axle centerline. Compared to the
venerable Dana 44, the Pro Rock 60 offers increased ground clearance with
enormous gains in strength.
Further performance enhancements include a 40% increase in strength over a
stock Dana 60, preserving proper gear mesh under heavy torque load. For
unmatched cooling and lubrication, the Pro Rock 60 uses Dynatrac exclusive
Dual Sump-High Volume™ (DSHV) oil flow system. Axle builders looking for
custom suspension attachment points benefit from the Pro Rock’s optional
Suspension Mounting Deck.
By employing a unique design approach, proprietary materials and
manufacturing techniques, the Dynatrac Pro Rock 60 pumpkin is not only the
highest clearance Dana 60, but also the strongest. Cast from 100% high
strength nodular iron, Dynatrac’s superior grade of materials maintains the
highest level of toughness and resiliency under extreme duress. Dynatrac
also heat-treats its pumpkins for the greatest possible strength.
Dynatrac's Pro Rock 60 is constructed of the highest quality, American-made
materials and employs an off-the-shelf Dana 60 ring and pinion gear, bearing
and seals and requires absolutely no trimming of the ring gear.
Available to the public immediately, the Pro Rock 60 costs $995.00. The
optional Suspension Mounting Deck is priced at $59. Dynatrac offers a
written, 12-month warranty on axle assemblies.
