Also look at LowRangeOffroad, they are in the states and do Zook and Lux stuff.
And another vote for Locktup, they have been great to deal with.

Probably because they are the most common.. Thats like saying you see more Commodores broke down on the side of the road than Ferraris.

DO the dirty 30's have a full replacement warranty? Longfields are worth the extra money in my opinion and ill be ordering a set when the time comes.

Isnt it lifetime warranty on them, then if you break them, they send out a new set, then if you break the replacements, they give you a big discount on the next set??

I think that the Track Assassins axles/CVs from Locktup are like that.

not everyone is running a 40 inch tyre, most run a 35 and in my case a 33, as for being american products i know this but buying them from australian suppliers keeps OUR people employed, theres a reason 4wd shops are closing left right and center.

Kirtis has lockers front and rear, and broke 7CVs in 5 trips out. So chromos where a necessity for him.
