: Rear steer Dana 44/CTM survived Cal Rocs Run dog 05-12-2002, 07:32 PM FYI, I just went thru 6 of 7 courses at Cal Rocs this weekend without breaking my rear steer (Dana 44) CTM U-jonts or Mosser shafts. So Jack at CTM is "the man" So if there was any ? about the strength. I ran them on all (4) corners completely bound up w/ 38.5 Swampers(3lbs) and Detroits. And if your wondering what happened on #7, well the 22R took a"shit". "Run Dog";) :usa: badassjeepguy 05-12-2002, 07:35 PM sorry you didnt get to finish...... yeah them joints kick ass! Jeepmangled87 05-12-2002, 07:47 PM just curious what wheels you run for weight issues? Also do you think CTM's would have survied using a v8 motor or even a 6 banger?:skull: twn44s 05-12-2002, 08:57 PM Pics ? Run dog 05-12-2002, 09:07 PM I 'm sure they would still hold up to a v6 or v8. Those swampers are on steel rims w/ Trail Ready Beadlocks. The wheels are heavy. Also, I ran my Spare on the rear for weight and my crawl ratio is 248:1.; That will put a all kinds of torque on the joints. I climbed verticle with the rear steer bent. If they were going to break, that would have did it. So I say go buy them and save yourself the $ on a Dana 60 and still keep your clearance.

He may argue about the 60 though. Wilson 05-13-2002, 12:15 AM What happened there? Looks like a Tera 60 lost a knuckle during a roll? Whose rig is that?
