Also heard many stories about them blowing up....I would highly advise against using them on anything but a dedicated trail rig...

I would sell them and put the money towards OEMs

Links? Pics?

No idea...i was at a dead stop turning a corner and i hadnt even let out on the clutch all the way before...POP...and i wasnt going anywhere. At first i thought i snapped a u-joint or somthing but nope. So i just hurried up and locked the hubs in so i could atleast drive to the gas station on the other side of the bridge i was on.

droped my rear axle tonight

and actually got the axle out to look at it. The left side broke right where it goes into the wheel bearing clean off. My guess is that bearing went bad but not completely sure. Pretty crazy tho.
