A better investment would be a non c-clip axle (like a Dana 44).

I helped a broken wrongler make one on the trail out of his high lift jack, a couple ratchet straps, and some grease.

I see that its ratchet strapped down to the wheel...but how do you keep it from walking up the tire when in motion? I would think there would need to be some kind of bearing attachment that can go through the wheel hub to attach it to the lugs.

Just bring a replacement axle when you go wheeling. Works really well, just replace the axle, 30 minutes and you're on your way. ( plus it is cheaper )

I think there's adjustable lips the go on the in side of your rim and once its set to the diameter you put hair pins or something similar in the slots so it won't move and walk up the rim on ya
