From what I hear it's the axles that gives way a lot more often than transmission or tbox.

Don't forget that you really do want some kind of a known weak link - something cheap and easy and quick to replace - to act as a "fuse".

On that basis, I used to rely on the contact patch! Not sure cheap would describe changing of the tyres though!
