I've heard the 37" out stretch even the 'yota axles (everythin' tends to a limit I guess).

From flicking around the various forums, the gneral buzz would seem to be if you're running rover axles then the Ashcroft stuff (CVs esp.) is about as good as it gets. Not cheap, but seemingly very tough.

Portals is another way to go, but the weight penalty will be horrendous (and these wagons ain't light at the best of times!)

lots of other advantages to portals though, ground clearence etc. but not always easy to get hold of

you can break toy axles on simex  :roll:

i run ashcroft everything on my 90,
and i can assure you, full lock, nose down with both lockers in, 3k and dumping the clutch......nothing broke
well worth the money, i wouldnt use anyone else
the customer relation is spot on
the aftersales is spot on
and the warrenty speaks for itself
5 years warrenty against failure !
ashcroft win my vote all day long, no faffing about changing axles
 at least if you do actualy break something, itll be foc, not hundereds of pounds like portal axles  :shock:
