Any differences Trail Tough vs Trail Gear axles and cvs

[WRXZook]

I know some members have the Double Tough axles and cvs from Trail Tough. Is there any differences in these and the ones from Trail Gear that is worth considering. I will have to have a short side axle custom made (need 100mm longer), so would have to remove the axle from that cv, hopefully without any damage. I know the Trail Tough ones come fully assembled but don't know about the Trail Gear sets.

Has anyone broken an axle or cv with either of these? (I am on 35's)

Any advice on offer???

Thanks

AFAIK all the CV's are the same - The only difference is the inner axle. TT, Spidertrax, TG all get their own inners made.

Don't worry that the CV's are assembled - they have a snap ring inside them like a stock CV and readily come apart.

We have a range of TT's Doubletoughs in the club - from the early series with cut splines right up to the CTM made inners they sold for a while.

Cj also has a set of Spidertrax HD CV's. They haven't been run yet.

I'd be very, very surprised if you break a doubletough. We've worked ours very hard with up to 35" Krawlers and we've never had a breakage.

Thanks, sounds good. The reason I asked about the Trail Gear sets is that they look like about the same cost to get delivered from Loktup as the ones from Trail Tough in the US. I thought I would support Loktup if there wasn't any strength/durability difference in the two sets.

I had Locktup source my TT Doubletoughs. Got them for me at a good price approx 12months ago.

Don't have a zook any more but never managed to bust one. The axles are sitting in the shed waiting for my next car.
