While I agree with the fact that vendors will always try and sell from stock, (thats like the number 1 rule in sales and parts) unfortunately I disagree with the rest of your statement. I was under the impression, from reading thru hundreds of threads here, that all of the complete dynatrac axle setups are built to order so stocking parts would be redundant really as every axle is different. Furthermore, when I spoke to Drew about my build, I asked him what he recomended... And he gave me his opinion based on my setup and needs. I didn't demand or ask for rcv axles at any time especially due to any sort of advertising. That you claim exists. We spent 30 minutes on the phone and he volunteered that the RCV's were the best axle available for the pr44 hands down. This goes without saying, but anybody that has dealt with Drew on any level knows that he is a straight shooter with a ridiculous amount of experience so having spent almost $30k at ORE already and countless hours on the phone with them as I'm sure hundreds of others have... I trust his opinion.
That being said, I have also read thru countless threads and spent hours upon hours of time doing research here on wayalife as I believe that real world experience is critical as are product reviews as they are generally unbiased and a great source of knowledge. I know that what Eddie says here is gospel, from what I've read so far, I trust that opinion as well. Why, when rcv axles come up in convo, everytime, is it a broken record of sorts? Twisted splines, snapping noises, they tell you its normal. As consumers, that comes across as one case scenario and based on such could be viewed as biased. If this is truly an "unbiased" opinion, after all, you're not trying to sell us anything... Why not more case examples or specifics, after all... There's a lot of us that aren't in the "inner circle" and don't have the first hand experience that many of the others her do. I've done several searches and if this information exists then i truly apologize, but I would love to hear from those specifically that had an issue, what that issue was and what type of equipment your jk was up fitted withat the time of the issue. Is there a thread like this already? I searched and could not find one if it does exist. What about people that "had a buddy" that had an issue and personally witnessed it?
Its common knowledge that axles are a part on built jeeps that fail commonly, they always will. I'm sure RCV's have failed time and time again... But vs others in a pr44 axle, what specifically are the failures and the failure rate and how often do these axles fail. This sort of information would prove invaluable for myself and others in determining what parts are best for them.
