Your arguments are good. My thought was to avoid changing out the axle shafts. If it's not used on rock I know it can hold up okay in the rear (didn't see the tire size), it's that tire spinning then sudden GREAT traction on rock that can really 'splode things in my limited experience with rocky areas. I've also seen good success with a front Aussie on trails and clay wash out type stuff. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
