Abstract: A method for converting a non-driven tag axle system to a driven axle system is disclosed where a forward driven axle system is converted to drive an interaxle drive shaft. The interaxle drive shaft is connected to a drive axle head mounted within the tag axle housing. Drive axles are connected to drive axle head. In another embodiment, a forward driven axle system is removed from a first position on the vehicle frame and the tag axle is removed from a second position on the vehicle frame. A differential is installed in the tag axle and it is located in the first position. The forward driven axle system is located in the second position and connected to the differential in the first position.

Abstract: A lubrication deflector for a vehicle wheel hub assembly is disclosed. The wheel hub assembly has an inner cavity which has a recessed region. The lubrication deflector is placed within the recessed cavity within the wheel hub to substantially close the recessed region.

Abstract: A sign assembly for mounting on a motor vehicle includes a first and second panel mounted to left and right rear doors, respectively, of a cargo storage compartment in a motor vehicle. The panels have substantially parallel inner edges positioned adjacent when the left and right rear doors are closed, an interface of the inner edges substantially aligned with an interface of the rear doors when closed. A plurality of spacers are positioned between the panels and the rear doors, and the spacers are sized to position the panels substantially parallel with the rear doors and sufficiently spaced therefrom to provide clearance for a vertical locking bar assembly integral with at least one of the doors.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for fabricating a driving and locking mechanism. The present invention provides a bearing device having a first end and a second end, where the first end has a curvilinear shape. The present invention also provides a strip of metal material with a predetermined length, conforming the strip of metal material to the curvilinear shape of the first end and attaching the strip of metal material to the first end.
