I ended up passing on that axle as the guy wanted an arm and a leg for a less than confident "It should be fine but Id go through it" evaluation. I found parts to repair mine although the Posi axle still caught my interest. I was thinking of how differently I would need to drive a Posi front axle rig on the street or highway if it ever came to it.

I still like the thought of a selectable locker in the front. Not sure Id be ok with not being able to "one leg" the front in certain situations.
