Broke the axle just inside the locker, made a mess. Twisted the shaft so badly that is literally looked like a javelin tip, no splines where left attached to the shaft at all. R&P from memory was okay, had to replace part of the locker internals, can't remember which bit; this was 3 years ago.

Tis what one get for driving on a stock Dane 30 with 35" Creepy's.
Thanx mate for the warning - I am thinking of going back to 35's mtz's but my front is totally stock (D30- im not sure spending any money to strengthen it is a worthwhile idea? any thoughts?) and I don't want to pretzel anything - maybe I should just stay on 33's?? - my 33mtz's are almost as bald as your profile pic lol so I need to bite the bullet soon! cheers Hunty
