Dinky lol that Spartan lunchbox is the size of a Dana 30s carrier. I hate arbs I have broke 3 and a Detroit I've never ran an ox. The funny thing is I have never broke a Spartan or lockright and I've prob had 10 of them total. The rear is running a Lincoln locker.

I don't think I have ever heard of someone breaking that many lockers! Maybe a setup issue??

Ya tell me about it's not good to be the guy that had broke them. All set up by different people who specialize in gears so that would be a long shot. It was a Dana 44 so who knows I just didn't understand how the lockers always broke and not a shaft or r&p but whatever.
