its the same G80 as the old ones, some can take abuse and some cant. if your gonna stay mudding and burning out go ahead and upgrade before it breaks and your stuck with a larger repair bill IMO

x2, if you're really as hard on your rear end as you say, if the g80 breaks it often damages the transmission.

yea that was the plan to go with a trutrac,but figured id ask just in case. prolly go ahead and upgrade the axles etc all at once, shouldn't have to many issues. trying to stay away from a 14bolt due to the weight difference.

thanx
