RCV's whose got em

Got mine through a vendor who had just started selling them, so they had an into sale.
Look at the vendors on this site, robertk is selling them for a badass price.
Mine work great so far. No issues. The D30 RCV's are easy to grease, the fitting is on the very end of the shaft where the axle nut is.

I got mine from RCV but when I had an issue with them I talked directly with Bobby Longfield. I have(I think!) the first set ever made in production. and they had to make them over because Bobby's machinist cut the wrong spline pitch on the outers. Bobby was embarrassed but made good on them quickly. I love them and besides the Advance Adapters SYE they are second best purchase I have made.
They must have changed them because the grease fittings on mine are under the cv boot, you have to turn the wheels to one side or the other to grease them but its easy to get to.

Here we go again:doh:
No offense Jeep450r, but we have beat the living chit out of this debate.

Cuz I don't have the time or resources to build a 44. Or a rear axle to match it as well. Plus new wheels. And might as well go 17's and bigger tires too. Then why not just go tons.........
On and on. I've hardly had an axle issue on 35's with a locked 30. But I want to run harder stuff so beefing it up.

I'm not trying to stir the pot here, but do you have a full case locker?
I had my carrier bend and the gearset let go before I hurt a shaft, though that was with a lockright.
What's your setup?

It's a lunchbox up front.
Again. I wheel with little throttle as possible. Almost no wheel spin. And I've wheeled full seasons without breaking a single stock shaft on just about same exact setup.
I understand I am moving the weak point from the shafts to somewhere else. I get it.
But I'm still putting the shafts in.

Yeah, I believe they did make a few changes after you got your set. RCV had to send me a set of modified boots as well because they had slightly changed the design of those too. The boots I originally received made heavy contact with the bolts when turning, but the new ones were cut to give a little more clearance. Suuuuuch a tight fit in there.

Yes its a tight fit but my boots only rub slightly. I'll look into the new boots, mine will need replacing before long.

I agree, I just switched to a full case Detroit from an Aussie for more carrier strength. I also have a 2x4x3/16 boxed truss and RS cover to make it all rigid.
Its not necessary but every little bit helps.

And with an Aussie and 3.55's, I went through 4 spicer 760's and 6 stock shafts. Not even being remotely hard on it, in hindsight.
YMMV.

Yep. 33x12.5 Trxus MT's. I actually really liked those tires.
