Not going to get Redacted to do a beefed up case for you?

Saved the old axle casing to be done at some point...

Ummm, and I think Redacted is a bit busy at the moment... I'm still waiting for my Rocklobster that I paid for 8 weeks ago!

Blame Smoggy for that me thinks

Quite possibly...!

Any news on the longfield rear shafts ? I have just had a pair of Samurai ones delivered. I hope they will stand up to the abuse of a lock rite.

Ummm...

That's what I thought. I'm hoping mine won't do that. I will be checking them a few times before the 12 months are up

They were prototypes though...

Not sure if they'll ask me to test the next ones in the production cycle

As always dave great pics and info

I asked the company I got mine off (Roadless Gear) about them and he said the jimny ones have been on sale for a couple of months now. So I hope they have sorted this issue ?

Hmmm, from what I was told these were pre-production prototypes?

Russ at JimnyBits asked me to give them a good testing... so I did! A punch hunt (we won!) and a good day at Parkwood 4x4's site at Tong near Bradford...

And I reported back on my findings, i.e. the twisting of the splines seen above and some other symptoms, to aid in the development of the final shafts, as far as I know...?
