Front locker going into 60, looking for birf upgrades info (2 Viewers)

[cruiserpilot]

Looking for knowledge on who has the strongest replacement birfields? Putting an ARB up front and its been a while since I
had names of vendors with this on file. I mentioned Chromoly and was told no. Not sure if its the expression or whether
better made product and materials are available. My remember knowledge is almost 20 yrs back so it's got to have
changed now. Thanks, J

There isn't an option other then chromolly.

30-spline RCV's and be done.. you will not break them, I have not broken anything in my front end since I installed them and an ARB

RCV’s. So who do I find those at?

What’s the longevity of those chromoly axles. Do they last as long as factory ?

 

[cruiserpilot]

If Cruisermatt hasn’t broken his I guess they must have some life. I’m pretty cautious. Only broke one with previous front locker but
that was due to rear pinion failure at same time.
@cruisermatt are yours drilled with the grease fitting and ability to add grease to birfield?

I have 6-7 years (1-3 trips a year ) of hard wheeling on mine with V8, 35-37” tires, front locker on, and 100:1 low gearing the entire time. If I am wheeling it is because I had to drive 12 hours out of Florida minimum to hit a trailhead so I only play hard really

No issues

@cruisermatt any way I can get any kind of mud discount code??

I’m going for the 300M and with shipping if I can save a few $$! It would be nice

I asked, see how it goes. They are on their way.

I’m an RCV dealer, shoot me a message with your shipping info and I can get you a quote. The 300m are overkill for you most likely IMO if you want to save a few bucks. I am running the standard 4340
