Weakest link seems to be the carrier (what the gear is bolted to). This
seems to go on the open rears. Mine and someone else has done this.
Upgrading to a Sure-Grip or a locker would probably be the best, except Jon
has a Sure-Grip(don't know if this broke, though). The 8.25 isn't that
weak of a link, built right and taken care of, I'm sure it can take 450+ hp.

So Jon, what actually busted, axles, or carrier??
