Default Replacement solid axle for C4

Seems like about a year ago someone was developing a bolt in solid axle replacement for C4's. Whatever happened to this project?

Sorry, but that project went dead due a problem with the FEDs.

WTF? :confused: Did you have to get it EPAed or something where a bunch of engineers or other people from an orginization put it through a battery of test? I heard something like that cost 50K just to do, and the product might not pass, so was that the deal? :confused:

No nothing like that but lets just say my so-called partner on that project has a few personal problems that I didn't know about involving the Fed's, IRS, Banking commission, state and local police ect. It had nothing to do with the product itself.
