When I see a built-up J**p I can't help thinking of the one I saw on the road
down from Navajo Reservoir a few years ago. It was sitting on the side of the
road about four feet from the verge of a 60 degree embankment that drops about
200 feet to the San Juan river. When I say sitting on the side of the road I mean
SITTING because one of the rear wheels had parted company with the axle and the
driver was climbing down the embankment to retrieve it. This is a problem that
will not happen to any Land-Rover built after about 1958. The reason for this is
that all Land-Rover vehicles have used fully floating axles since then. On a
cheap (rhymes with Jeep) vehicle breaking an axle can mean loosing a wheel, and
some places are damned inconvenient (even dangerous) for that...
