Trooper axel? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

What info can anyone give me on the front axle in troopers, any year. I searched and found some decent info on the 12 bolt rear but Id like some input on the front. What is the weak point, how strong are they?

They are the 10 bolt IFS axles used in just about all Troopers up until now except for the very early models(84-86?).

There was a Lockrite locker made that is discontinued but occasionally you can find one. I think Auburn made a limited-slip but that is no longer made either. Powerbrute limited-slip was a factory option in the 88-89 Isuzu Impulse 10 bolt and works in the Troops.

Gear ratios available are the same as the 12 bolt - 4.56, 4.77, & 5.38. Weak spot I would guess is the CV's.

Thanks,

Does anyone know the Gross Axle Wheight of the 10 IFS Bolt? I know new troopers arnt light. My parents got a 99 a few months ago and it rides nicer than my CJ. The kids love it cause they have a huge place to play in the rear. (that sounds bad, Not when the Vehicle is moving)
