Do Rovers have weak drive trains?

Cv's are weak by nature, though.
Dusty gets stuck in 3 feets of clay, turns hard left, and floors it in reverse in a last ditch effort to get out and blows his CVs... then, picks up the CV's ***** he can find, and shoots squirrels with them until there are more than 3 winches on scene to pull him out![Smile](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/H5uKDcM.png)
Also, fwiw, I'm doing an axle swap soon to ditch the rover stuff all together. No more Land Rover axles for me.

LOL, what do you expect they weren't designed for some uses. If you want a true mud plugger get one of these........................ http://www.winget.co.uk/document/OPS...%20DUMPERS.pdf ![Wink](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/Uh2vXQr.png)

I have no comprehension of cv joints, how they function or what setup works best off road. The way my buddy talked, these drive trains were weak in general so my question is do I really have to change out my drive train system just to do moderate off roaring with my truck? Or can my truck handle it? I'm talking about river crossings, steep hills, ruts, some mud. Not interested in the extreme offroading like rock crawling or anything like that. but yeah this guy is building a series using a Ford dullay drive train......

The Salisbury axle had the later shafts with more splines on them. It was a lot stronger but these axles cost serious wonga.
