CaptainFleXJ151 10-04-2001, 10:29 AM Should I go with a D44 Rev. or a D60 on my project YJ? I'll be running 37" boggers, 4.9 stroker(roughly 325 hp/torque), 435/300, 4.56 gears. Will a 44 with Moser shafts and all the other goodies hold up under my lead foot with a locker? DRM 10-04-2001, 10:31 AM depends - if you want "it'l be fine" go 44's. If you want "more than fine" - go 60 <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0"> NE-RokToy 10-04-2001, 10:33 AM if your a throttle jockey your gonna brea stuff with a 44. it just depends how much you enjoy fixing a broke axle while sitting on a nicly padded wallet, or wheeling with an empty wallet CaptainFleXJ151 10-04-2001, 10:37 AM Yeah, a D60 sounds good. UGET IT 10-04-2001, 10:43 AM no brainer.......D60. Even with a Toy 4cly I broken (2) u-joints in my D44. For 90% of my wheeling it does great but its that 10% that sucks. Oh and 2 ball joints dusted too........... High5 10-04-2001, 06:42 PM with a v8 i used to break my old d44 u-joints and hubs. yes i like to "give it one more try" and use the that skinny one on the floor like and on/off switch when i do but hey do it right the first time and get the 60. it'll only save you $$$ ion the long run. 66CJdean 10-04-2001, 07:30 PM Don't spend the $$$ on a 44 to just put in a 60 later. 37" boggers is asking alot from a 44. badassjeepguy 10-04-2001, 07:53 PM 60............... nuf said yjtj 10-04-2001, 08:19 PM i snapped d44 shafts every time i went out with 35 boggers. i only wheeled the d44 with the 37s once and actually didnt break it, i knew better though and have 1 tons now NE-RokToy 10-04-2001, 08:23 PM Originally posted by yjtj: <STRONG>i snapped d44 shafts every time i went out with 35 boggers. i only wheeled the d44 with the 37s once and actually didnt break it, i knew better though and have 1 tons now</STRONG> I think the wider 35's are harder on parts then the narrower 37's, thats why i may go 38.5 instead of 35x14.50's Keith 10-04-2001, 08:25 PM It is all in yer driving. I run 38 sx's, never a break, not even a joint. But, I never spin the tires hard or hop it. SCRAPER 10-04-2001, 10:02 PM its all in how you drive.

We had zero breakage. The 37's weigh about half what my 39.5 Boggers do, so I know that helped a LOT. Of course I also changed all the ujoints out after each day whether they needed to be replaced, or not. onetoncv 10-04-2001, 10:32 PM good thinking lance - fresh is always better- | |
