Yukon Total Takeover
The Yukon Total Takeover, a nationwide one-day event held March 18, afforded shops the opportunity to provide special pricing on Yukon gear sets and installation. More than 50 shops participated in the program. The Takeover was the culmination of eight weeks of hard work and coordination, developing a program that highlighted both Yukon parts and the skill and competency of participating shops. The shops were also able to create awareness for their business on a regional and national level. It was a successful day as many shops offered live music, raffles, meet and greets, and more for their local communities and as a result, are now booking and extending discounts weeks past the event date. Keep an eye out for the next Takeover and be ready to get involved.
Axle Measuring 101
How you go about measuring an axle depends on the axle type: Axles with yokes (front axle shafts) are measured from the center of the u-joint bore to the end of the splines. Semi-float and C-clip-equipped axle shafts are measured from the end of the shaft to the outer edge of the mounting flange. Full-float designs are measured from the spline ends to the front surface of the mounting flange. Check out the accompanying schematics for more on how to measure each axle type. Shop Axle Kits
