Hey Shawn those 3/4 axle trusses are Go Rhino trusses. I didn't know if you knew who made them. It took me awhile to think of the name for them.

Yeah, Don I found a set on eBay about 6 or 7 months ago, he was asking 600.00 for them. I thought to myself, damn I have a pair just like that, not in that good of shape.




Yes he got 600.00 for the damn things.

Thanks for the info thou.

Good golly! $600? Was there a bidding war or was that the asking price to begin with?

I knew they were expensive but not $600 expensive. Holy cow.

The front one that I have belonged to my neighbor. He bought it new and had it on his truck for about 2 or 3 months. He traded the truck in on a new truck. I told him that I wanted it before he sold the truck. So I bought it off of him. He paid , I think, $150 new for them back in 1995-96. I gave $50 or $100 for it if I remember.

LOL, I thought hell, I'd sell mine for 300, and make me some money, but as usual, I never did, now they will take a small fortune, to have them stripped, and re-chromed, or powder coated (I'm thinking powder coating)

So do you guys know what the 1/2 trusses were selling for back in the day? I looked at them back then also.

BTW- Did I mention that I have at least 5 years worth of Four Wheeler magazines from the eighties stacked up in 3 milk crates out in my garage? I could take a little bit of time and look through them and tell you exactly what both sets were selling for back then.

I am going to use my vanishing memory to give you guys a price if you want.
