Front axle disconnect better than lockout hubs? SEE THE PICS

If anyone wants to buy me a new one, I’ll go do this to my XD60. All it takes is enough speed/stupidity :). Still sucks.

As for the locking hubs, I am willing to bet several folks actually pushed hard for that solution. Even if only an optional piece on say the Rubicon, if I were to guess. But unfortunately the vast majority of people are lazy/clueless and wouldn’t even know how to engage a hub. Sad but welcome to 2018!

How would locking hubs prevent an axle break?

They're not related. It's just that this jl axle has the disconnect right in the middle of the axle tube creating a potential weak spot. Whereas locking hubs connect and disconnect near the wheel ends and the tube is a single solid piece.
