At Harlan in October/November of 2006, Pete may have broken an inner D60 axle. I loaned him a 35 spline drive flange out of my rig, and a spare short side axle assembly...35 spline inner, 35 spline outer.

I have Yukon 35 spline inners & outers, w/ Longfield Super Joints, and 35 spline drive flanges. I do not want any weak links in my setup because I have a Detroit Locker. If and axle/joint/flange/lockout, etc were to fail under load, I have an excellent chance of wiping out the $550 locker. If you run an ARB, spool, welded front diff, (or even a Lockright), etc, this is less of a concern.

Back to the shafts: I have a slight but visible twisting of the splines on the short side inner. It has been that way for well over a year. With that said, I've wheeled the truck less this year than I have in the past five years.

I have not broke the front 60 yet and thought that I would have by now. I have 2 extra warn 30 spline lockouts for the stock shafts and another stock outer and just bought a 1978 ford complete with 400, c6, and 60's front and rear. Not so sure about upgrading now. Looking to order a mini stak 3 speed t-case for the winter project.
