if you don't know....

I wonder how a 30 compares to an 8 1/4? Back in my 4 wheelin' days (I had a 340 Landcruiser) The Bronco/ Jeep/ Scout guys didn't think all that much of a "30" front axle.

I think the older Scouts (pronounced "Shout") had either 25's or 27's front and rear. It was common to see "shouts" jacked up around town with the rear axle torn down!!
