Comeon guys, its called eliminating a known weak spot, and making the drivetrain a little bit stronger.
He would rather spend the cash on chromos, and fit them once, instead of breaking and replacing stock ones on the side of the track.

Makes perfect sense to me.

If your running 33s why chromos?
Kirtis has lockers front and rear, and broke 7CVs in 5 trips out. So chromos where a necessity for him.

broken locker ended up being the cause of that, and im no right foot bandit i crawl as much as i can, as stated might aswell eliminate a weak point of the driveline, did it in my drag car and will keep doing it in the hilux

haha yeah only stirrin man,didnt you have 39.5s?

Either way theyre both extremely stronger than standards but by all means both can be broken,matt meadows broke 4 longfields IIRC?
but for the average weekend wheeler running 37's max both will be perfectly fine unless your running a v8 and dual transfers or similar
