    Upgrade the stubs to 35 spline immediately. When a stub breaks due to a torsional failure (overloading) the shaft breaks at a 45° like this:

    So if you imagine it breaking then trying to spin on itself, it widens up. Well it cant do this running inside a spindle so it usually splits the spindle as well. They also usually break the locking hub )depending on what hubs you have).

    So now your $100 you save not upgrading that one stub is gonna cost you a locking hub and a new spindle, plus you now will buy the stub too.

    brings me back to the long nights in the materials testing lab :rolleyes:

    that's a beautiful break though. you should give that to an engineering school as a teaching aid. shows perfectly where the break started, and the two failure methods within the material.

    Go with some slugs that can be removed and the cap put back on. Cheaper than lock outs and stronger.

    You like those more? I know you can get drive-home flanges much cheaper than lockouts but more of a pain in the ass when you want to swap from 4wd to 2wd and vice versa. I just sold my Warn hubs, I've blown up plenty. Enough to make me want something else.
