What is the most common part that gets broke during wheeling? Some 4bys it is the c-clip in the axles, others is the axles, so what is the weakest link in our set KJs? I know about the front diff running larger tyres but I am talkin the stuff that gets broke most during hard wheeling. You know this is one of those parts you should not leave home without next to a spare tire.....Give me your input So i know what to throw in my offroad basket.

Ok should carry an extra axle. Front, Rear, or Both?

Who is it that makes stronger rear axles for the KJ?

I wish now that I had bought a pair and installed them with my Powertrax, then kept the OEM axles as spares.

I got the idea from Wally after my rear passenger side snapped. They were about $280 for a set of rears.

Hope this helps.

I see that both sides use the same axle. Not all rears are set up this way. It makes it handy as you only have to carry one spare.
