ouch i would have been crying

 

So my big question is to what do you attribute the failure?

Tire size?
Use(Abuse)?
General wear and tear?
etc...

Could be a good indicator for those of us running similar setups as to when to start saving for that D60!!!

 

well, use/abuse is always a factor and we are hard on our jeep. however, i can honestly say that we only started to see breakage when we upgraded to our toyo 37x13.50's on walker evans beadlocks. these are really big/heavy tires - way more so than a set of BFG's and they have definitely been taking a toll on things. certainly, of the 3 tie rods that we've bent, 2 were bent forward and due to the torque of the tires on steep climbs. we've also gone through 2 steering boxes, 1 drag link, 1 locker and now this. when we were still running 35's, we never had any problems.

 

WOW thats crazy, I've seen broken axles, bearings and lockers but to see the tubes damaged like that is insane, now that is some serious trail carnage

You need teraflex to hook you up with one of those new Rubi elock plug and play 60's

 

they only have rear 60's right?

 

what he said and while i would love to get a rear 60 too, i'm gonna have to focus my efforts into just a front for now.

 

well they are supposed to have the front 60's out or out soon, this from their thread

I think thats a pretty good deal being all together already, I just wonder how much that sucker weighs, someone said a dana 44 weighs 300lbs

 

naw, no real tell tale signs. the boulders on this man made hill are like large loose bowling balls and they move around a lot. i typically stay off of this thing and should have this time around. catch one loose boulder wrong and it'll break something for sure.

for you, so long as you stick with 35's and are aware of your 30's limitations, you should be just fine with it. we've wheeled our TJ with 35's and on a 30 for a long time and never had any issues.

yeah, they are on the way but i can't wait till sema. currently, i am talking to dynatrac and it looks like that is what i will be going with - a new prorock 60.

 

Yeah I forgot they said by Sema till I read that again and Sema is definitely to far away

 

Good choice on the front


I'm getting D60s for the same reasons! I don't want to blow up my factory axles

I think you can run an adapter for your wheels on the front..
