People have been running them for years if not decades now. Im not worried about it. Plus I just cant afford to have 2 HAD shafts made.

HAD?
im guessing thats some strong metal? or design? lol

idk what im doing out back yet.. just a different U joint until i get gears/lockers and a front drive shaft.

i'm partial to the square front ones because i've seen a few in action.. layed on rocks just eating the rock away.. others have pretty much sworn to them haha

There are people who have ran HAD shafts for almost a decade with no breakage. Id rather spend the little extra and get one of his dshafts over anyone elses.
