I was wondering if any of you wheel pretty hard with your stock d35 or with a locked d35.

I have been wanting to upgrade my current d35 with a super 35 kit, but until then I would like to go ahead and get a set of gears for mine so I can put a set of 35's on it.
And a friend of mine has a lockright locker that I could use untill I save up enough money to get the other kit.


So what are your thought about hitting the trails and mud with a locked 27 spine axle.

polished turd? and far from the level of tech this forum is designed for.

wow....:eek:

if ya want a straight answer and me to not be an ass, then get rid of the whole fawking thing. the supa turdy five is a big waste of money....

for not much more you could bolt in a TJ D44..... or fab brackets for an 8.8

i wheel with a few guys that still run the D35, locked, on 35's. they haven't broken an axle yet. this is on some pretty hardcore rock runs in AZ. not the extreme buggy-type shit but axle alley, highway to hell etc. tough enough for the winch to come out and play :)

anyway, i would go ahead and throw in the gears, locker and 35's along with SPARE AXLES.

for the price of a lockrite, gears and spare axles......you should still be quite a bit under the price of the super 35 kit right?

anyway.....the myth about the D35 snapping on 35's is just that.....MYTH. not that it can't and hasn't happened but i have seen for my own eyes a ton of wheelin without a break. i wouldn't hesitate to run it.

but when you mention MUD.....i have no hands-on experience with that. only slow rock crawlin. high PRM in mud and then catch traction might be a different story:)

don't waste your money on your d35.
I guy at work has a yj on 33's and he has the super 35 kit and he has bent 2 shafts already on fairly mild stuff. sure they didnt break like a stock axle but they bend to be undrivable on the road. and he has put about every upgrade into this d35 you can.
another guy at work has a yj set up almost the same but put a d44 out of a cherokee and he has had no problems and has less money in his rear diff.

If you want spare axles Ill sell you mine when I switch them out.
:)

I got a buddy runnin 35's on his yj, he hass the super 35 kit with a full detroit..Was wheelin the hell out of it..nothing broke, until one day last month a fawkin car hit him on the street and his heep rolled 3 times taking off his fingers. :flipoff2:

Since nobody else has done it...

why polish a terd? find you a dana 44 & build it, it will cost about the same as gears & locker for the price of a super 35 kit

Back when I had open diffs and 33" tires, I blew my D35 carrier almost in half with my 4Banger. :flipoff2:

cuz u were wasted and a lead foot in third gear asswhole:flipoff2:

No dude by all means run that axle break it on the trail and then you and your buddy can drive into town for parts leaving your crap on the trail. But when you get back it will be shy a lot of parts it used to have:rolleyes: .

maybe not with rocks but when it comes to use spinning some in mud or on slick trails or sand dune running that 35 wont last long i blew mine to bits on my old zj with just 31's

Watched one break going up a rock, crawling. He had ARB and 35's.

I wheeled semi hard on my d35 welded with 33's. I always carried spare parts with me (shafts, loaded carrier) but i never broke it offroad.. only on the street :flipoff2: I think the AT's helped a lot.

Now that I went with 35's I picked up a drum 8.8 for $75. Screw discs :D

You sure talk a lot of smack for a guy who still runs a 35:flipoff2: :D :flipoff2:

Friends don't let friends wheel a d35!

If you want a real axle get a d60, matter-of-fact I have might have one if you want to purchase it.

:jester:

Major B.S. I broke an open Dana 35 running 33" tires on the rocks. Bad idea. 35 spline 9 inch fixed that problem.

Depends on your driving style, we all know someone who is running 36's on stock jeep diffswlocks who never break, and we all know someone who can break d60's with 35spline alloys, I would say to spend a minimum amount of money possible on the 35 besides a lokrite, and carry extra shafts and tools, people will almost give them away, then run it. if your driving style allows them to live your set. if not upgrade to a nine,8.8,44.60,etc. dont spend money on super35, its expensive, and you will only bend the housing..

I must be dreaming... I can beieve I am reading this post...

D35 + 35's =:goofball: :laughing: :nuke: :smokin:

I have trouble with my D35 on my DD with 215's on it..

you damn right! at least i know better. that is why i havent spent one dime on it. i might put those gears in that i got from ya but i'll prob pass them on to a friend.

i gave that fawker hell the other day and it didnt break...

but you know good and well it doens ttake much to snap a shaft:flipoff2: :flipoff2:

this is a bunch of bullshit too.... yea if your driving style is not being a man and taking all teh bypasses then yea it'll live forever but if you get it on an obstacle and dont back down then you will break it.

possibly true, notice my signature reads ford9/44/203/205/38's, thats probably another way of stating that my driving style is one in which bypasses are boreing

I hate to reply to this since I changed my d35 to an 8.8 before I was able to break it but I beat the hell out of my 35c and it took the abuse better than I thought. This was on 33" tires that werent the greatest. The les schwab specials that are hard rubber with little grab so maybe that was reason behind the lucky streak. The fact is though, every time I went out I worried about braking that rear axle. Enough that it changed the way I took on "or didnt at times" obsticles. I blew a winch cable after only one year if thats any indication.

COW

well, Im also running a 35 in the rear of my grand, with 33 mtrs and lockers and it gets beat hard, and hasnt broke yet, I too am always expecting that nasty pop, but I am putting d44's together to put in, there are a lot of newbie wheelers that cant just go out and buy a set of dynatracks, cause of a couple of guys on the site said there not man enough to do the obstacle w/stock junk.:flipoff2:

that's the fun part though. just pushing the d35c just too see if it likes a certain obstacle:flipoff2:

one more thing to note, i have noticed d35c's more often break in tj's than yj's and xj's, likely a direct effect of links vs leaves for axle location. the leaves can take some shock out of the drive line that would other wise go straight to teh axle.



notice my signature reads ford9/44/203/205/38's

thats a nice combo.... when the slow crawl doesnt do it, put the 203 back in high and get the wheels spinnin'!

what spline 9"? just curious.

Don't spend the money on the 35. Get an Explorer 8.8.

I thought the term was MOO?:confused:

When I bought my yj it had been hit hard in the rear axle and broken the rosette welds on the housing but it's still holding up and not leaking (much):) But I am afraid of breaking it and am going to a 9"

Why waste time wondering when you are going to break it and pussy footing it over obsticles


swap it and forget it

Yes, combo seems to work good.. ;)

nine has 31 spine shafts and spool, spool is cheap and strong, and works good cause the only pavement this rig sees is from a trailer.. often daydream about krptogenfreezn 40 spline shafts and spool..:jeep:

A friend of mine blew up his 35 pulling out of arby's. . . . .



Oh yea. . . it was rolling on stock 28" tires. Don't waste your time. For the cost of a lockrite, you can have a waggy 44 and mini-spool under that thing.

Thats true, providing that it has same gears, or you also have the waggy front. would be the way to go.\

My dad has mini in his waggy, cost him only $80 good buy..
