I'll be impressed if anyone here knows this.

I have lockers in my D-90 and know that the OEM standard axle shafts won't hold up to hard use when locked, so I've got nice aftermarket chrome-moly shafts in there now.

What about my LR3? What if anything did LR do to strengthen the rear shafts to allow for the auto locker there? Given that it is downright obese compared to my D, I'd like to get a better feel for how badly I can abuse the rear axles. Particularly now that I've gone one size up on the rubber.

Regards,

BT

since some have a factory locker, I would hope they uped the strength. And since you can't fit much larger tires than stock, it should be ok. there isn't anything on the market, but I would be more worried about the cv joints since the suspension in independent.
