New Gorilla's givin me fits!
How old are ya by the way ?
As for me - I am 45
WOW - The dealer ate half the shipping ? How did you swing that ?
Lets see .......... axles in on Wednesday........ Put it together Wednesday night .... Ride a little on Turkey day ..... Ride on Friday ...............Hmmmmmm ....
I bet you can have something else tore up by Saturday afternoon if you find a good soupy mud hole to play in . :-)
But first ... The replacement axles have to fit ..... What ya gonna do if the new ones don't fit ?

MotoF150- you're foolish for admitting that you drive a Fordskin.
If all quads had all the best parts that money could buy, there would be a lot less people owning them. I ride hard, I play hard, I want the best that I can get. Stock is for sissys. Stock quads are only a good idea, until you get it home from the dealer.
I plan on taking the hub, old shaft, and "Old" Gorilla axle with me. I will fit the "new" Gorilla's there. If there is a problem, I will have to relax like an old fart and **** away the weekend, While Gorilla figures out why the hell they cannot make an axle to the correct specs! I am not a machinist, but if it were my job, I think that I should know how to do it!

If the axles don't fit , don't worry , I bet there is a quilt show and flea market within a 30 mile radius . I know I sure get a charge out of looking at quilts and butter churns .
I might be going riding myself this weekend for a bit though - I know it is to cold to golf so the golf courses shouldn't be crowded at all . ~ You ought to try riding on smooth surfaces like grass --- IT'S AWESOME -- no bumps no roots no nuthin' to worry about --- last week I had a good long straight away and was flying -- I think I was going over 40 milesanhour .
Let us know how this all works out ...
And how old are you again ??????????????????????????????????
