Well I have a spare set of rear axles and front CV's from my parts truck, but I understand that if the axle goes BANG! with a detroit, so does your detroit. So my questions are:
1) If I'm staying away from crawling rocks and mainly just spending time in mud and deep snow, can I get by on stock axles for a while if I'm careful? I have a break in period for my new motor anyway, so I'll take it easy. I need a few months to scrounge up the dough for axles.
2) Since I'll have a TT in the front in a few days, and CDL, and have heard so many stories on broken CVs with TT as well, how hard is this to fix in the field in winter and at the least, how hard is and what is involved in getting into cripple mode with CDL so you can limp home and fix it there?
3) What parts should a guy be bringing along and how do you guys store all this in the truck?
I've done too much reading about the stupid TTs now not working well with tires over 33", yet my new tires are 34". Great....
