85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 04:28 PM I know its not a 60 but i dont want that heavy pig it my rig.It would just help me to sink in the snow. Im doing hp ford with chevy outers alloy shafts ctm's arb and fuse hubs. Should be plenty strong. Sence I only break berfeilds in the snow. Imputting ford 9 in rear. This weekend will be the last trip for the toy axels. Hopfully we can make it to buck.:flipoff2: 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 04:40 PM What else mite i need? RCKRATZ 02-13-2002, 04:49 PM with that setup, you might be better off just using a standard hub.....it'll still be the fuse 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 04:53 PM why is that? RCKRATZ 02-13-2002, 04:55 PM I think with alloy shafts, ctm's and an ARB, you won't need to run the Warn Fuse Hubs. From what H8monday has said, he is breaking standard warn hubs first. Why put in a weak link? 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 05:04 PM better a hub than a shaft 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 05:16 PM eny one else have anything to say? livermore2 02-13-2002, 05:42 PM a ford 9 inch sucks for rock crawling 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 05:43 PM you suck 4 rock crawling:flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: livermore2 02-13-2002, 05:46 PM and why did you decide to use a D44? now you have to be careful not to break your third since you beefed it up. what would be wrong with running the toy axle with Longs Birfields? and why in the world would you use a ford 9 inch?:confused: 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 05:48 PM toys are not wide enough & why not ford 9 Hayraker 02-13-2002, 05:49 PM Originally posted by blue rain you dont know jack shit about building a rig And why would you use a D70 with birfields:flipoff2: 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 05:49 PM and you do! 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 05:50 PM thanks hayraker livermore2 02-13-2002, 05:51 PM Originally posted by Hayraker And why would you use a D70 with birfields:flipoff2: i didnt know Dana ever built an axle with birfields 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 05:52 PM mossburg why the name change? livermore2 02-13-2002, 05:54 PM this girl changed it and now i cant change it back. but its still me. 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 05:56 PM what the hell does blue rain mean livermore2 02-13-2002, 05:58 PM i think its like prince purple rain but now its mossbergs blue rain lol Hayraker 02-13-2002, 05:58 PM Originally posted by blue rain i didnt know Dana ever built an axle with birfields well, you call them Tracta-joints, I call them birfields;) 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 06:00 PM what ever lol.what is wrong with a 9? 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 06:03 PM not to worred about r&p i will back down berore i break {or as some of you call it GETTING IT} just have to know your rig!!!!:flipoff2: livermore2 02-13-2002, 06:05 PM i think either the housing is weak and/or the third is weak. my friend told me when i asked about using a 9 but all i remember is they are bad for rock crawling. 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 06:08 PM same dezine as a toy randii 02-13-2002, 06:15 PM my friend told me when i asked about using a 9 but all i remember is they are bad for rock crawling. ....at least you did a bunch of research before you came to this conclusion! :rolleyes: Randii Gozuki 02-13-2002, 06:19 PM Mainly low pinion, although some people don't like the stamped sheet housing.... 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 06:30 PM pinion is low but in the near future it will become hp. livermore2 02-13-2002, 06:38 PM Originally posted by randii my friend told me when i asked about using a 9 but all i remember is they are bad for rock crawling. ....at least you did a bunch of research before you came to this conclusion! :rolleyes: Randii its not rocket science to know that a D70 rear is better than a Ford 9. or wait, let me guess- you are using a ford 9 rear. :rolleyes: CRAWLR 02-13-2002, 06:52 PM Originally posted by blue rain its not rocket science to know that a D70 rear is better than a Ford 9. or wait, let me guess- you are using a ford 9 rear. :rolleyes: And a rockwell is better than a 70 and I'm sure Catapiller has something better than a rockwell. Doesn't mean theres anything wrong with a 9. Yeah, the pinion is a little lower and yeah, it's expensive to make them as strong as a 60, but for what it's going in it's not a bad choice randii 02-13-2002, 06:54 PM its not rocket science to know that a D70 rear is better than a Ford 9. Mebbe, but you didn't say that. You said, "9's are bad for rock-crawling..." rather that you heard about it. :rolleyes: Better how? or wait, let me guess- you are using a ford 9 rear. Wrong.... and does that have anything to do with it, anyway? Hell, I have been advocating 60's over 70's for the rear for some time -- the pumpkin is only a tiny bit larger than a Dana 60, and full floaters abound. Your 70 is a perfectly good solution -- don't be so damn defensive about it.

Randii this was about me choosing between a Ford 9 and a Dana 60 rear end. so i happen to choose a D70. we are not talking about Rockwells or Catapillers. CRAWLR 02-13-2002, 06:59 PM And this is another vote against hub fuses. A regular hub will still be the first thing to break with that set up if you push it too far. The hub fuses will break WAY before anything else would have, even when you aren't pushing it. I've never heard a positive reply about hub fuses High5 02-13-2002, 07:02 PM ok now tell me what x-case you are going to run. you said all you break now is b/fields so you must be running a toy 8" front now. as you should know they are pass side drop but the hp d44 from a ford has a d/side drop. maybe you swapped the tubes on the 44 or you are going to run a different x-case but.....

I should have quoted the other post where you said a 9" sucks. My point is that a 9" aint that bad livermore2 02-13-2002, 07:28 PM well i just learned that they dont suck. the third is extreamly strong. axles are very strong too. the only downside could be the housing is thin stamped metal. this may not be a problem for most people anyway... 85 rocrnr 02-13-2002, 07:43 PM im running marlin #3 thats right #3 & swaping tubes! randii 02-13-2002, 08:40 PM Originally posted by blue rain well i just learned that they dont suck. the third is extreamly strong. axles are very strong too. the only downside could be the housing is thin stamped metal. this may not be a problem for most people anyway...
