We have very different philosophies. My preference is to go out on the
trail and not break anything.
I would rather my Land Rover be strong enough to go where I want it
without breaking anything, no matter what the weakest part is.
10 spline axles just does not cut it. Esp if the inside end breaks and
a big chip gets between the ring & pinion gear taking out a few teeth
(had that happen twice).
