Default Cast Iron Front Axle group buy?

I caught your attention didn't I

If and when the cast iron front axle housing gets to the aftermarket maybe some of us could do a group buy?

I would be nice to have it come ready to bolt-in with a locker ( and switches) and gears installed.

The traction control is done by the brakes so that wouldn't be changed

Any thoughts?

Maybe a group Re-Call?


Yeah maybe it would be better to go for the V8 with Adevnture Package but delete the Alpha bling?

The aluminum front differential case is replaced with a new cast-iron one.
?Case strength with an aluminum housing is always a concern,? Ehrlich insists. ?When the case deflects under load, the teeth of the ring and pinion don?t mesh properly and can fail.?
The iron housing should certainly fix that potential problem. Additionally, the front driveshaft is constructed from 30-percent thicker wall tubing to further beef-up the frontend.

I didn't say this before, but this comment sounds like a bunch of CYA if you ask me.
