How strong are Dana 30 & 35 axles if they were under a rig that is about 2400 lbs? The tires will be 35 or 36" x 12.50-15's.

Bill

not strong enough for anything but the little curbs at the mall. The 30 may hold with chromos and longfields but there is no way to make a 35 strong enough to take it if its actually wheeled.

this goes in the noob section :shaking:

Bill

they are really strong, so strong infact, that im running them in my rig, i have a blown 454, and 44" boggers, and they handle that with no problem at all.

something is wrong here. he asks about the 35/30 axle strenght, and this is what pirate4x4 comes up with. Thats it??? WTF??? Is it a full moon or something??? The ass is about to be handed to him :eek:

Well,that's how it is....As well as this forum is full of usefull information,it's also full of assholes!!!.Believe me,I've started threads on here,and gotten some good replys,as well as replys from fuckin' assholes who think they know everything,and think that because you're new,and don't have 5 billion posts,you don't know shit!...I'm new to this thread,but DEFINATELY not new to wheelin'....About your question,the 30 may hold up to some wheelin',depending on your driving style(and Longfields are for Toyotas buddy)but the 35 is almost junk...I've got a couple of buddies running them with the super 35 kit,with 33,and 35 inch tires...I didn't bother spending the $$$ to build them,I'm running a High Pinion 60 front,and a 14bolt rear.

future prediction for this thread:

SEARCH NEWBIE
repeated about 10 times along with these: :flipoff2:

I believe that Indybill is under the impression that if his rig only weighs 2400lbs will 30's and 35's be ok.If you have to know just remove the inspection cover and look at the size of the parts :rolleyes: ,I think they'd break if you just strapped the engine right to the axle,straddled it and said "ride 'em cowboy"
Man,if ya gotta build a ultralite rig at least use a 8.8 Ford in the rear and a high pinion in the front.

I'm new to this thread,but DEFINATELY not new to wheelin'....


Really? because Bobby Long in fact does make some very nice U-Joints. The Dana 35 IS junk and friends don't let friends polish turds.


I think you'll find you only get assanine replies when you ask stupid fawking questions, or when you give someone else crappy information. :shaking:

youre a FNG too so dont be an asshole. also, a d35 makes a good anchor, so it is not all that useless.

IndyBill - you can look at it this way, the 30/35 combo will probably cost you next to nothing from any TJ/XJ/ZJ donor but the aggravation will be expensive. The hpD30 is probably the only useful contender, so combined with a ford 8.8 out of an explorer or ranger you will have a reasonable 3/4 ton running gear, matching bolt patterns and pinion ratios, f/r disc brakes, a rear tracloc, and lastly cheap and abundant spares.

A 2500lb rig sounds like a single seater, chromoly tubed, 4cyl cricket.. what do you have planned?

I didn't say anything about being a newb, except that is a newb question which there is a forum for. So STFU you are still more of a newb than I am.

...so combined with a ford 8.8 out of an explorer or ranger you will have a reasonable 3/4 ton running gear...

3/4 Ton? What? A D30 from a Cherokee and an explorer 8.8 is now 3/4 ton? pfffftt.

And to think that I was happy that my Chevy 3/4-ton has a 14-bolt. I coulda had an 8.8! Dang.

:cow:

For all those who gave out good info and advise, Thanks for the help!!! Ive used the forum search by putting in Dana 30 and 35 with not much luck. Also I didnt post in the newb section because these axles came from a Jeep.

To all you flamers --- :flipoff2:

Well since it was now moved to the appropriate forum......

The D35 will explode and cause you to be stranded somewhere - whether that be the trail or at the mall you won't know until you try to use it. A friend of mine runs 35's on his D30 front and it has survived behind a V6....for how long - who knows? Basically, ditch the D35 for sure - put in an 8.8 or a D44 at least. Good luck.

Hah whoops yea you're right.. how about a 1/3 ton.

3/4 Ton? What? A D30 from a Cherokee and an explorer 8.8 is now 3/4 ton? pfffftt.

Like that has anything to to do with ANYTHING!!!!!!!


:flipoff2: :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

Been my experience over the last year, (I have a YJ with the 30/35) Both axles hold up well IF YOU DONT LOCK THEM, RUN NO BIGGER THAN 33" TIRES and DONT DRIVE ON THE TRAIL LIKE AN IDIOT.

Out of 1 thru 10 degrees of trail difficulty, I run 3-4's pretty hard ( I wheel about once a month ATLEAST) I feel the 35 has held up this long because Its still open and I think when I'm on the trail instead of just nailing the throttle.


The 30 is a decent light duty axle

The 35 is fine for light duty 'get you out the house' wheeling. (mine will be replaced with an 8.8 ASAFP)

As for putting 35 or 36's on 30/35.................:nuke:

big fawkin deal i have a few other things to do than get my post number up fag :flipoff2:

I think you'll find you only get assanine replies when you ask stupid fawking questions, or when you give someone else crappy information. :shaking:Yeah mutherfucker!...I didn't say Bobby Long doesen't make u-joints!...But LongFields are for Yotas,you dumb ass bitch!. :flipoff2:

Wrong try again, nevermind don't try again move to newbie or get the fuck out.I'm not even gonna bother with your bitch ass,cause you're not even in Cali...Other wise I'd tell you to meet me out on the trail somewhere so I can knock you the fuck out!!!.So whatever,go back to breeding with your sister you fag!!! :flipoff2: .

Your a dousche!

How old are you like 15? I don't have a sister but if I did I am sure the secks would be good. :shaking:

fighting on the internet is like running in the special olympics even if you win your still retarted. Now shut the Fuck up.

What he said. Really, these guys are just hardcore-wannabe assholes. If you keep the tires under 40" the stock axles will work fine.









as long as those axles are from a one ton truck...

fighting on the internet is like running in the special olympics even if you win your still retarted. Now shut the Fuck up.
Yup,I'll have to agree with you there...There's a lot of people who have great BIG INTERNET BALLS!...But I'll just leave it @ that.This cat just asked about axle strength,and all of a sudden this dick starts talking shit. :flipoff2: I don't need to try to show my balls on the net.So,Later.

Your a dousche!

The name is Joe Dirtay get it right, I wish I had an Infernal jeep then I could be as cool as you ( about as cool as coathanger abortion ). You can come up with a better southern joke than that. I really wish I was as cool as this guy, but you can only hope for so much. I hope the 4 didget pbb people accept me. :blackflippoff:

this treads been pretty entertaining.



btt, I blew my 35 with 32's and open

As for putting 35 or 36's on 30/35.................:nuke:


BS, it's all about the idiot behind the wheel. I've had 35's on for nearly three years now. The first was with a D35 and I've not busted anything yet.

Well,that's how it is....As well as this forum is full of usefull information,it's also full of assholes!!!.Believe me,I've started threads on here,and gotten some good replys,as well as replys from fuckin' assholes who think they know everything,and think that because you're new,and don't have 5 billion posts,you don't know shit!...I'm new to this thread,but DEFINATELY not new to wheelin'....About your question,the 30 may hold up to some wheelin',depending on your driving style(and Longfields are for Toyotas buddy)but the 35 is almost junk...I've got a couple of buddies running them with the super 35 kit,with 33,and 35 inch tires...I didn't bother spending the $$$ to build them,I'm running a High Pinion 60 front,and a 14bolt rear.

LIAR! Your shit hasn't moved in a year! :flipoff2:

I have never ever seen this many dumb assholes in one thread all that the same time.

BTW, you can make the 30 live for awhile, but the 35 is probably the weakest rear ever made. :)

:barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :confused:

You are both retarded, I feel dumber for reading all your bickering, just let it go and quit making fools of yourselves :flipoff2:

On to the axles.....I regularly see complete ford 8.8's for sale for around $200, and dana 44's for around the same price, maybe a little more, so why the hell would you even bother putting any money into the 30/35 if you plan on running 35-36" tires, I would say buying the stronger axles is a no brainer but what do I know, Im just a stupid noob with no posts :rolleyes:

fighting on the internet is like running in the special olympics even if you win your still retarted. Now shut the Fuck up.


Now that is some funny shit, but so true. Oopps guess I had better STFU since I have such a low post count.

STMFU NEWB! :crybaby2:
Just like I said,you muther fuckin' piece of shit!!!!.SUBJECT DROPPED!!!!!.I'm not gonna argue on the net with your faggit ass!!!!.And seeing how you're all the way in butt fuck Maryland,I wont even bother with you.So kiss my ass bitch!!!.If you were in Cali,you'd be dead by now! :flipoff2: .
