    Yukon axles

    Sounds like you have the 2piece side gears. Some of the posi's had 1 piece gears. Your axles were probably a little short,didnt have enough spline engagement.

    roll bar vs. roll cage

    I am in a position to offer advive from a unique perspective. I have raced multiple a bodies in Stock and Superstock for years. I recently suffered a top end crash in my G/SA 340 Demon. It had a roll bar only and after this crash I will never have another car without a cage and forward bars. I...
