hey Man, I see your nearby. Check out the FLRC website on my sig. We got a rally coming up real soon. Anyway, in FL we see mostly mud and in all honestly the BW is great in the mud. Ive felt mine engaged/disengage and pull me through some tough stuff. Now it isnt nearly as strong. If the VC doesnt break itself the Chain will stretch. (been there done that!) The LT230 is gear driven and much more reliable. That being said you might as well wheel it til it breaks. Plus the BW can be had CHEAP! As far as axles go, the 10 splines will surprise you. they arent as strong as the 24 spline ( 10 spline are 1.1 inches and 24 spline are 1.24) but Ive never broke one in 6 yrs of offroading (a CV yes and mud is very forgiving and I dont torture it). I would leave it alone for now and spend money on other upgrades myself. Ive ran stock 10 spline axles with 255/85 for 3 years or so. Gordo
