Those things cost me about $320, including 2 Ranger Front Axle (New). It works great with ARB front Locker

It looks like they are using upper halfs and the shaft out of a ranger with the lower birfield from a Tracker.

Define "upper birfield" please - I can understand inner & outer, but upper?

Well, the inner one.  I called it the upper because it usually is higher in the air then the outer one.

What can I say, I usually work with straight axles.  :D
