I just finished putting lockers in the back and front of my truck. I took it for a test drive and tried reversing up a hill backwards hard left lock dropping the clutch with my front wheels on the road and my back half up a hill and I blew my left cv. Is this common? I think it is about the worst situation I could put it in. Does anybody know where I could get some from?
Thanks.

Blown cv
cvs are at there weakest on full lock and with the locker in there is no where for the power to go but to the ground .with one wheel on the road and dropping the clutch i,m surprised you didn,t blow both of them .what sort of vechicle ,if fine spline cruiser i,ve got a few spares

that is THE worst possible thing you could do to it mate CV pop everytime
get some longfields and never have to worry about it ever again
suzola has some in his hot little hands ready to go for $1250 ? i think, axles and CV's 30 spline indestructible ones which are lifetime gaurantee so you will never have to buy a CV ever again
i got some for my truck 
If you already know everything, DON'T ask bloody questions!!
Yeh I have heard it is easy to blow a cv with lockers at full lock but some things you just have to learn for yourself! It took me two minutes.
I am not sure if they are fine spline or not as I have never seen the other sort. How do I tell? the axle code on my chassis is K082. Its a short wheel base landcruiser 1985.
Are the longfields worth it? it is quite a lot of money.
Cheers.

wot the hell were you thinking. that was just asking for trouble. like Sig said, you were lucky to only break one thing.
dropping the clutch on the road is a recipe for disaster

How many Cv's have you blown in the past, and where did you have to fix them?
If you answered, more than 2, and in the middle of knarly trips, or on a riverbed, then you already know the answer to that!
Ugly is a state of mind..... and the state of my truck!

Hi Mark,
As Wopass says I heve got some Longfields, but they are Hilux ones, the short side axle is the same as a 40 series but the long side is longer, have also got some 60 series comming, short side is longer than Hilux and long side is the same as Hilux.
If you wanted some for a 40 could possibly get some but would take about 6 to 8 weeks.
Also got some 27 spline CV's comming in about 6 to 8 weeks.
