WTB: iX Front Axle (Dad grenades his, pics)

[Earendil]

So, Dad is visiting me in Seattle a few days after he grenades his front left axle into two distinct pieces. There might be a third piece somewhere, but he couldn't find it.

Anyway, does anyone have a used iX front left axle that they are looking to get rid of in the Seattle area? It'd be awesome if I could meet you someplace within a half hour of Ballard this weekend.

Portland area guys feel free to PM what you have since he lives 90 minutes from Downtown. Y'all are just less convenient for pickup so I'm hitting the Seattle guys up first :)
I finally got him to join me at the picnic last year and now he's hooked, but no axle, no attending this year! Thanks guys!

Wow thats gnarly! Glad that was all the damage done!

I've got a spare set of Front Axles, that need to be rebooted/regreased but it took my forever to get a full set, and want to hold onto them for the next time I tear my boots (Lowered iX = be prepared for minimal downtime.)

We're tearing down an 88 Alpine iX this Saturday. Impact was at the front driver side of the car so i'll see what kind of shape it's in and let you know. My coworker (owner of the car) says if it's good he's asking 250.00 (NLA and not really looking to sell it TBH.) for it. Otherwise he's going the same route I went and holding onto spare for his other iX.

Cliffs Note: Meet me Saturday Night or Sunday with 250.00 and i'll have an axle for you. I'll keep you posted on the condition. I also have inner and outer boot kits with grease if the boots are torn or whatever. No we don't take that Freedom Bux BS.

The NLA and TBH line sort of confuses me. AFAIK NLA = No Longer Available and TBH = To Be Honest?

Don't go too far out of your way on my account, as I can't promise a sale as I'm not the buy, only that I have a buyer. $250 sounds fair though, so he'll probably bite unless we find someone that has few reservations, or you PM saying that you'd very much rather have $250 :)

I'm sure we'd regrease and reboot them, regardless of the shape they are in. So if you have the kit and want to sell it for less than Pelican, great. You couldn't get my Freedom Bux if you begged. Where are you located, or want to meet me?

I live near Northgate Mall, about five minutes from the Dicks' I met you at for the first time. Yes we could meet, PM me and we'll figure it all out.

Yes, NLA is No longer available and TBH is To be honest. My bad! Lol
I'll figure something out on the Boot Kits. I'll beat Pelican's price. I've got them in my garage.

Try and let us know before Saturday Morning because we're going to start tearing into it early Saturday. They will be pulling the engine and trans, i'll pull the axles if your dad decides to bite.

I'll let you know before Friday is over. And Northgate is close, I can totally pick it up from wherever, no need to meet half way. I'm only about 4 minutes from Dicks' :)

Axle acquired! Thanks to kid325e for being awesome.

[kid325e]

It's hard being so awesome.

Is it back on the road? Feel free to text me/call with any questions on removal and install. Cheers.
