Hey, we all have blonde moments from time to time. Dont beat yourself up over it....Heck, I was trying to figure out why my bronco was getting such bad mileage....Took me almost 2 months...then I checked my tire pressure and found 3 tires 5LBS low and 1 tire 15LBS low! I think I earned this weeks Darwin Award so your off the hook. LOL

Thanks for the update RICE H8R. I will quit wasting my brain thinking about aluminum axles.

Just thought I'd let ya'll know that I had it all welded up and got it goin again. The tire has a slight wobble in it since the hub wasn't welded perfectly straight, but it will work.

On another note, I don't think I ever wanna ride that quad again. I "test rode" a buddies 04 Honda TRX 450R....*drools on keyboard*.....wow is that thing fun. Scary part is I had a blast, and never had it higher than second gear. Oh how I wish I had $5500 to go buy one...
