Transported chili in a crockpot to a superbowl chili cook off - the chili did not stay in the crock pot for the entire ride

Wouldn't say its the worst but atleast the closest I got to crapping my pants.

I've flooded her a few times, gone through a few bumpers and I sat her on her side once.

not one bit.. at least in my mind. I already had one back over to them for repair because it was clicking not even 3k miles in (with 0 offroad use). Multiple torn boots, the whole "life time warranty" is super unclear, they charged me for a new boot and grease even though the "tolerances were off" in the cup causing the clicking.

super strong axle, accomplished my goal of not having to ever trail-replace a CV axle, but one thing that was left unconsidered is that when the axle doesnt blow out, something else does, for me it was the entire intermediate differential shaft and housing lol.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have kept my OEM axles and either stayed with some remanufactured OEM spares, or at least went with CVJ or something much cheaper.

RCV's have their time and place, and a heavily used street rig with occasional rock crawling is not it.

I’ve had the CVJ axles on my ride for almost 2 years now and I’ve been super happy with them still on the original red boots they came with.

yea... that's what my "monkey see, monkey do" mentality gets me after hearing about RCV's in an instagram post from someone

Wasn't really in it but my rig got flooded while sitting in my driveway in my gated community. Only a little bit of water on the flood boards and had to replace the starter

That's the main reason why I try to keep things simple on my T4R going overboard bulletproofing everything suspension and drivetrain wise will just move you up to breaking crap that will make it a PITA to fix on the trail, apart from justifying buying expensive crap.

I still have my oem cv axles which I've put through hell, I give them some tlc depending on how much abuse they get, cvboots have ripped on the trails filled with mud and all sorts of crap, after a little cleaning, some grease, new oem boots there good to go.
