A good friend of mine tells the story of when he was in the British
Army, they would go out on maneuvers with 100 Land Rovers... and one of
them would be full of spare axle shafts for them...
Glen with 3 broken axles in 29 years

are easy to replace in the field...... As long as you have that spare
with you.
