Welcome to the world of rock-crawling! Go unprepared, expect to pay big
money! That's why I have resisted the urge of the "Moab of the east".
Curious though. You mention that you sheared two RR axles and then mention
series axles! You seem to be implying that they are different somehow.
They are not. They are made of the same steel, and have the same number of
splines. They are even the same diameter. That is why no one wheels on the
rocks on stock RR axles. And why no one uses lockers on those same weak
axles.
Instead of going the long route, why not just call up Great Basin Rovers,
and get the 10 spline to 24 spline conversion kit and get an ARB or a
Detroit? Seems a lot less involved than what you are about to go through.
