I am a man of my word, so here you go:





Is there any reason why I couldn't do the same sort of mods like the car versions???..... specifically adding a selectable locker, and most importantly some sort of positive retention method for the wheels if an axleshaft was to ever break?.... some sort of C-Clip retainer or "full floater hub" type idea.

I am planning to use this axle to do some towing from time to time, and can't be having wheels spitting out from under the rig!


Thanks again for the help!
