Default The Achilles Heel

The JK Rubicon is in fact a bad ass off road vehicle. I've heard that the Achilles heel of it is in Fact the front axle. I've heard stories of bent axle tubes and complete seperation of the Inner Cs. Tell me there is a way to remedy this so I dont have to fork out 3gs for a Stronger Axle. What exactly is happening and how do I prevent/fix said problem.

Hardened axles, axle tubes, axle truses, axle "C" gussetts. You do all that and you'll have just about a bullitproof front axle. It's all available here: http://northridge4x4.com/index.php

Thanks "RedneckJeep" I'll look into it. A few hundred in upgrades is alot cheaper than a whole new axle.

If I had more characters in my signature line, I'd add the following to it:

My son may go to Oklahoma University (Boomer Sooner!),
but all my money goes to David at Northridge4x4!
