I believe the new Rubicon axles are essentially the same thing the Nissans have. The difference - a lighter truck and less HP, but I wouldn't be surprised that as we see lifts, etc. going on the new 2007+ Rubi's, they'll be having failures too.

Add 80+ HP over the old models and put in much weaker axles. I just don't understand the thought process.

Nissan better address this. Myself, I'd love a new Frontier, but this will keep me from buying one, unless I get one with the full intent of doing a SAS and swapping out both axles.
