Related to the engine that is. Tcase, stock axles? Just curious.

 

Axle shafts and Ring and pinions
It really depends on your application if your intentions are to have a pavement beauty your probably alright if you are planing on using it for wheeling plan on up grades.

 

1 AlloyUSA Outer Axle stub
1 Power steering pump

 

Yep, front spider gear. It happened the first time i took it off road. I shouldn't blame it on the Hemi though. I'm sure it was my happy right foot. Just took delievery on a new Dynatrac D60

 

Pro rock 60 ring, 3 times now.

 

OUCH...!!!

 

I would take that any day over breaking my heart every time I have to force my decrepid 3.8"
To push 50000bs of JK over a 30 ft san dune. :-(

 

That sucks
looks like that is a rear axle out of a buggy or non JK judging buy the truss and rusty hard brake line going over the pumpkin

If that is a rear looks like it may be time to swap to a low pinion 60 or 80 or possible change gear brands and ratio

If that is a front axle in a JK witch it looks like it may be because of the truss but the brake line makes no sense
Tell the owner he is the man and drives like an animal ,Dana 80 would be your option or you could try a different brand gear

 

I broke 2 passenger factory front axle shafts, then upgraded shafts an knock on wood, haven't broken anything yet.

Eventually would like to upgrade to either the 609 or 60 but hopefully the 44s will last a couple years before I do that.

 

Hey Mel, that mad man is me Thats the rear in our Hemi TJ. After 3 sets, I'm a firm believer in low pinion rears now. Of course, if I knew how to drive, there'd be no breakage. Adam
