DJ lookin' good. Sadly one of the Al-Ko Axles on my SRT decided last weekend that it was going to drop a wheel. Looks like the weld separated right at the backing plate. Its a clean break, looks like it could be welded right back on. However my friends that do fab work said no, buy a new axle tube with backing plates and swap all my hubs and brakes and everything over to the new one. Now I just need to find one!
Ouch!!! I don't know how these TT companies get away with using axles that don't even meet the GVWR!!!! If I were you at this point I would replace both axles for a higher weight rating!!!
