I'm not having any problems ...
have 1350 km's with very little to no mud riding
mostly just trail riding,

what spare parts should I have in the truck..
one front axle or 2 front axles
can I replace just one axle with a rhino brand or similiar or do I replace both front ones ...???
same question for the back axles ???
should I carry a spare belt ??

are the axles easy to change ??


I'm planning a 10 day trip to mountains this summer - NO MUD

THANKS in advance

I pack a spare belt I just don't trust them. And you can change an axle one at a time.

The 850s are great on belts,but a spare never hurts & tools to change. A front & rear axle as well as an extra air filter or two if the trails are dusty......Check your wheel bearings,ball joints and brakes...............Have Fun !

To interchange right and left axles, do you install the top of the right axle in the bottom of the left axles spot, vis a versa. To counter wear? I may have heard that from someone

As in interchangeable, lol

That is impossible to do. The inside and outside joint and different.
