Ok, that's kinda what I thought. You mention, though, that this is all
you can do with a D35 if you don't have a spare axle...I actually have
a 44 in the rear, 30 in the front. Are there other options for my
setup, should I ever break one of these axles, and not have a spare
w/me?

Thanks!

Thanks. I'll remember that. ;-)

Really, I wish I could carry spares for all the things I might
possibly break on the trail. Unfortunately, my pocketbook doesn't
always allow for that (not to mention, buying spare parts for things I
already have isn't nearly as fun as buying altogether new items to
further improve my jeep!)

The Dana 44's axle won't fall out if it breaks, it being held in
via a pressed on bearing like the Real Jeeps.

The Super 35 kit uses a pressed in tapered bearing so when I snap one
of my new Chromolly Alloy axles, the wheel should stay on long enough
to get home.
