    In my never ending quest to see just how much I can make this axle weigh, I added a couple of tie down loops.. Whenever I load my Jeep on my trailer I have to wrap a chain around both sides of the axle and run it through a hook on the back of my trailer. Takes a lot of time and I get tired of messing with a 20' chain. So I got the rose bud going and bent up some 3/4" round stock and made a couple of loops I can hook into with open hooks. With the right length of chain, I can just hook into the loops and drive on to the trailer and when it stops, it will be just right. Similar thing intended for the front axle so trailering can be done quick and easy
