There are pros and cons about the non-add vs add. All depend on what you want to do. Yes, manual locks out cvs are (outer shaft to hubs)27 splines vs add 30 splines. I been wheeling hard thru some pretty rough trails are here in Fresno, Ca. I haven't had any issue. Plus side is if the CV blow unlock and wheel it out in 3 wheel..but most CV dont break on the 27spline outer shaft, it breaks on the outer CV bearing cage. Add and non add cage is the same. So if you upgrade to Lotus CVs I'm sure its would hold up just fine. Feel free to chime in if I'm wrong!����
Pros: 1) free front axle from leaking cvs
2) wheel out in 3 wheel if broken
3) 2wd Low range
4) all inner cage the same as add cvs (not sure why its
weak, doesn't break on the 27spline shaft)��*
5) less wear on front end parts
6) looks cool and give you the old school Toyota
feature
7) Less parts to fail on trail when you actually wheel
your shit (electronics)
Cons: 1) Rare, hard to find parts.for spare hubs, lockouts.
2) Maintenance if drive alot into water holes
3) LT kit hard and expansive to have custom cvs made
for non add axles
4) Too lazy to lock the hubs( why when you have to air
tires down anyways ����*)
