Do all three sets have to be sent to Sydney? Is that how they have done the cheaper price or are they happy to send one of the sets elsewhere? If one set could be sent to Ipswich just outside of Brisbane I'd be in.

Being toyota tech I would assume they are Longfields 30 spline superset axles and cvs. Just sold my lux but would be good buying at that price !!!

I'd be keen. What's the go with hub gears, do you have to run trail gear flanges to get warranty?

I'm getting hub gears cause they will be the next thing to go and I'd expect that the damage they cause to the CV won't be covered under warranty the same as you would have to do if you buy longs.

my thoughts on that is if you get unbrakeable hub gears, then the next weakest thing to break is the diff, i personally would rather smash and replace 100 hub gears then 1 diff but thats just imo

Trail Gear will not warrenty the CV if the stock hub gears fails anbd takes out the splines on the CV. Which is guarenteed to happen if the hub gear fails. And it will eventually.

I got clarification some time ago from TG in regards to this, as I thought it was a bit silly that they wouldn't stipulate running chromo hub gears or flanges for the lifetime warranty...
Their response was "No Questions Asked"
So that's their official response. No questions asked lifetime warranty regardless of whether you are running chromo hub gears or drive flanges.
However, it is strongly recommended you do run them aside from warranty reasons, as the reason you buy stronger stuff is so you spend more time wheeling and less time on the side of the track fixing busted parts

Thanks to outback_pootrol for organising this buy, I got my bits today so will be fitting them this weekend.
Also have to mention how great locktup have been to deal with again and how unbelievably quick their shipping is. Money cleared for my order on Friday and they are here today.

Stripping the spline on the CV caused be the hub gear failing is not the CV's problem. I can't see that they will give you warranty on this failure.

I got the gears as well so is not going to be a problem for me.

A well setup diff is alot stronger than a hub gear.

If it strips the splines then break it in half and send it back for warranty. No questions ask!!

Hi John,
Just wondering if you guys are going to stipulate people have to run drive flanges or chromo hub gears for the lifetime warranty? I have had a couple of people ask, and I have been saying that whilst it is not a requirement for the warranty, it is strongly recommended.
What is the official response on this?
Cheers
Chris

WTF - With stripped splines How exactly is one supposed to break a cromo axle in half?????
