Is anyone currently running the calmini Heavy duty forged axle shafts in their Samurai?  I've been playing with a couple ideas for heavy duty axles and am thinking about using these shafts with a hybrid rear housing (w/ 3/16" DOM axles tubes)  

Is anyone currently running these axle shafts and what do you think of them?  What tires/gear/motor are you using and how well do they hold up in comparison to stock units?  I'm looking at running 4.62 locked diff, 4.16 t-cas, 16v 1.6 w/ 3spd auto, kicker 3 tcase (extra 1.89:1 tcase) w/ 33's.

Most impotantly, has anyone busted one and what did it take to break it?  I'd hate to spend $140/shaft for axles that I'd break anyway.  THANKS!

I think the early ones had problems but calmini replaced them for free, the new ones are a lot better than there old ones but even the old ones were better than stock.

Sounds like you want to be Spidertrax!

cool.  I was actually looking at a spidertrax hybrid (non full floater for now, low on $) rear for impact resistance but wanted to make sure I could eventually get stock style axle shafts that would hold up better to 33's.  Otherwise I may just get a trailtough hybrid rear and toss the calmini shafts in that down the road.  

had the "heavyduty"axels in my sammy less than a year agow 31"tires and a locker and sheered both of them off first time i went wheeling . i have never broke a stock axel just birfields . went back to stock finally after waiting on calmini for months to send new axles . missed like 3 wheeling trips .finally caled them told them i didnt want my axels replaced and to credit my credit card . two months later had to call again to tell them to credit my credit card !not to mention how rude they are . i wouldnt recomend calmini , any one of the other venders i will though

Does anyone else make non full floater Sammy axles.  I know the stockers hold up to 31's.  Mine is currently lincoln locked and has 4.16 gears and its been fine.  So were you's the "Old Version?" and you just had trouble on the return service?  When did you get them?
