Driving up that rock ledge, didn't have the correct line, so I reversed back and then realigned, drove forward - then crunch!
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.
Replaced the diff with a HP D30 out of an XJ (thanks to Ian) then trussed it up with a TNT truss (from Wooder's) to remove any flex as I think the diff flexing may have been the culprit that caused the original to bind up?
Still running stack inners but Alloy Axle seals, at least spares are easy to find
(theirs a bit of a build thread about it on here somewhere)
Plus I have never been to big a fan of the Super 30 upgrade due to cost, i.e. 30 spline cromo axles, if the stocker's break (one day) I will go cromo but stay 27 spline, purely due to the availability of spare axles. Surely 3 additional splines can't make 'that' much difference, in my way of thinking its the cromo that makes the difference, could be very wrong though? time will tell.
