Also if you plan to spool it or weld it I would either upgrade the shafts or carry extras.
Not to hijack, but where would be a good place for me to look for some spare shafts Richard. Any yards around Macon with decent prices. I would really like to just go to chromo's and keep my other ones for spares, but that aint happening no time soon.
These two shops deal in new and used 4x4 stuff.
