Rockwell top loader axles allow you to remove the heavy drum brakes from out at the wheels and mount a single "pinion brake" directly to the pinion gear.

That's a Rockwell 2.5 ton axle, it's how they are 8)

Edit- Dangit Grizz :-(

i think it's something to protec the diff case. i'm bit newb to 1:1 so i'm not totally sure

edit: cheers griz!

thats the BRAKE! Its basically like inboard breaking. On a rockwell your options are either run drum airbrakes, a very expensive conversion, or run in board brakes. The PTO output on the axle makes a great place to mount a brake and, the gearing in the axle makes it so you are using the gears to help with the braking, thus you need smaller brakes to stop huge tires. I think extreme 4x4 used a set on their budget buggy and they did the inboard's.

that flamed s-dime belongs to one of my neighbors. i can't wait to see the pictures when he gets back.
