Have you tried Ford F100 Spares out at Beaudesert? They have a lot of 4wd F Truck stuff so may be able to help. Also Salisbury have an import Bronco front Diff complete there(Solid Axle not Twin I Beam). Not sure if they will strip it though. I do know its missing the calipers. There is also F Trucks Australia out Capalaba way. And another place over the North side of Bris (redcliff maybe)

When I've got a bit more $$ after TT I'm definately going to look into something stronger. If you guys have any product that you think is stronger I'm all ears

The only thing i have to offer is our Treated Toyota CVs. They are stronger than the GQ ones but prob still not strong enough for your rig. Thats a lot of weight to carry around. We are getting great results in most of our buggies but even mine is running Chromo Longfields because im just too hard on it.

I am looking at buying some Yukon 4340 axles and CTM's from the states, Should have change from $1300au, with some other parts and shipping etc. Jimmy, do you want me to get you a pair of CTM's?

I believe they only broke an inner front axle and that the CTM was fine.
It hasn't all been pulled apart but thats definitely what it looked like.
They also just sheared 4 of 5 bolts holding the rear steer arm onto the knuckle and broke about 10cm off the rim.

They kept driving the next day after using an easyout to get the broken bolts out and then taking 1 bolt out of each other steering arm and using them on the rear one. Also they ran 3 wheel drive only

Was a great weekend and everyone should get out there to have a look and support the sport.

CTM's are damn strong!!!
