BAHHHAAA HA HA HA

Actually, I am looking for a used Stock Dana 30 complete out of a 4 cyl TJ. That would be trick if I could have a complete replacement for whenever mine nukes. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> Just unbolt and slide the new one under neath. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

yeah you broke one axle. is it a 297x jont or is it the 260. i wouldnt scrap it yet. just do some upgrades. if you nuke the ring and pinion, then it is time to switch. i ad a dan 30 in my bronco about 5 years ago. i ran 33s and 35s and that was with a helthy 302 and i used the happy pedal. i swapped axles axles after i killed the ring and pinion. i also went trough 8 260-ujoit axles. and broke the rosete weld on bothaxle tubes. i definatly killed that front end. that was before dana 60 was even thought of.

just use it fix it

A D44 isn't going to fix the problem shown in the picture.

Still a cheap fix. Alot better than spending $$$$$$ on a whole new setup. Unless of course this happens every time out, then it might get a little old <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
