Hey Robert,

Forgive me, I misunderstood, I thought you were referencing the fellas from last weekend. I want o answer your question as it pertains to VEX.

Failure before these mods were; blown front hubs, blown front spindle bearings and shaft collars, blown axles both right and left front, inners and outers, (had already went with superior 20s for the AMC 20 and welded and trussed that for the rear), spun up licorice and explosion for my OEM front and rear DLs. Blown T-176 tranny, more blown hubs, etc, all because of: running chains front and rear with the ARBS engaged..

So, went with super D30 front end, 4.56s with the 33", 1 ton DLs, etc, etc, and viola, haven't busted anything since early 1993. With the frame lined with 1" plate that eliminated frame cracking. Gusseted bumpers front and rear with 1" gussets took care of frame 'diamonding' out from severe off camber flex and winching heavy things too.

Thanx Robert,
So what u-joints and hubs are you now running up front?
