Why doesn't jeep just sell a jeep with D60's,35's, simple stubby bumpers, and thick rocker guards? Do like a very basic, simple jeep with good suspension, driveline, and essentials and leave all the fancy stuff out to keep price down. I'm sure they would sell alot of those!

The reason I liked the idea of using "Mythbusters" as a theme is because they will go into a "Myth"--(maybe that word has been the biggest problem this whole time)-- with no lean one way or the other, they just deal with the facts and evidence and let the chips fall where they may. At this point, if people don't understand what my OP is asking/proposing they never will.
size and weight. toyo's are about as big as they get and as heavy too.

I will concur that my responses have come across as dismissive at times, but I don't dismiss the information these guys are sharing(only dismissing the direction the conversation is going). Im trying to keep this thread on point, and keep it from going in a different direction than I intended. The original post I submitted was very direct and asked some very simple questions, but it has morphed into a debate about something entirely different. I too respect and appreciate Dynatrac and WOL's opinions, but at times the thread has drifted from "what will happen if you push a D30 too hard, and how can I avoid it" to "Big boys use big toys so stay at the mall". Hopefully you can appreciate my dilemma.

Here is my interpretation of this thread: Most people take it as fact that you WILL feel a shock if you stick a fork in a power outlet. Can somebody please send me pics of them doing this so I know that it's true.
Does that sound about right?

Can you run 37's on a D30? of course you could run 60" tires is you really wanted too, would I want to? hell no.. The most i'm willing to push a D30 is 35's. over time things will warp, bend and break.. It may take a year or possibly 3 but it's going to happen.
Even with 35" tires if you don't have C gussets installed parts will warp and bend. I've seen it numerous times.
If you are after evidence of D30 axle's breaking just search youtube, there are a ton of videos on the subject.
We pay a pretty decent amount of money for our beautiful jeeps, the extra $1k for protection (parts + labor) and peace of mind should be worth every penny of it..

but, unlike the mythbusters who ACTUALLY PUT THEIR MYTHS TO THE TEST, go out and obtain facts first hand, examine the evidence they collect and let the chips fall where they may, all you seem to be interested in is hearing what everyone else has to say and then judging for yourself what you like hearing and what you don't. funny thing is, that's what a "myth" is - something that someone said happend.

Here's where my frustration lies at this point, and why it is so hard for me to keep things on point... Guys like NWBRONCO and others early on in this thread where gracious enough to show what they do (via videos and pictures-- "evidence") with this setup. After that, I have been waiting for the guy with a 37s and a D30 (not a D44 or a D60 or a Pr44) that had issues, to do the same (like you said, there should be a few pictures out there. Most guys would be wearing it like a badge of pride). Im thankful to guys like WOL and DYNATRAC and others for chiming in (I have learned a lot in less than 2 days).
