Wanna test your machines durability ? Slap on a set of these bad boys from High Lifter and find out !!

High Lifter announces it's biggest tire yet. A monsterous 34.5" x 10.5" x 16" Outlaw 2 :distress:

I think that tire is going to increase the sell of their gear lifts.

Like 65 lbs each tire. 260lbs plus whatever the wheels weigh

62 lbs each - definitely going to need a gear reduction to turn those things

And an axle upgrade.

Do they still sell the gear lift, I haven't seen much of it since mudnationals.

Highlifter no longer sells the gear lift.
It is sold through the original manufacturer SXS Gear in Flint, Michigan.
$3400

Thanks thats kinda what i thought.

I have a buddy with a gear lift - after the first ride, all 4 boxes were leaking oil. I think there have been a lot of problems with the gear lifts that are out now - that may be why highlifter quit selling them. I have heard that there is a revised version coming out soon thats supposed to have all of the bugs worked out.

I heard the same rumors about the gear lift.

What is a gear lift?

What is a gear lift?

Think Hummer H1 if you've ever seen the way it's setup. Axles leave the diff nearly straight out to above the axle centerline. A series of gears from the axle to the hub rotate, turning the tires (best way I can explain it without a pic). Max ground clearance and almost zero axle angle.

Was the leak coming from the flat gasket between the portal box and the cover plate?
I have had a couple of discussions with Chris Keeter, owner of SXS Gear, about what IMO are some necessary changes in order for me to purchase a set. I have received several pics and videos from Chris, and IMO it looks to be a good product, but could be made better.

Any additional first hand information that you could provide, I would like to hear about it.

 

[alewis]

I am not sure - thats just what he told me after his first ride with them. I missed that one but i'll be on one soon with him.

I've been looking at the rock crusher portal hubs as I love my 32.5 law 2's and wouldn't mind getting 34.5 law 2.
