Got a good deal on some almost new 35 MT/Rs. 😀
My 33s are for sale if anyone is interested: viewtopic.php?f=23&p=57824#p57824
My wheel wells don't look so empty anymore.

Looks great Kevin! I got not so good of a deal on some new 35" MTR's. Mine looks a little dumpy now. I think the
new tires are a bit wider than the old style. Maybe the 1" added width of a bead-lock would help....

Offline I changed my mind about this whole Jeep thing and went back to stock...
Just kidding. My mom found that picture. That's a picture of my Jeep, circa 1992, probably not long after I drove it home from the dealer.

Thanks. It's come a long way in 18 years. I don't know how close I am but I may eventually have more aftermarket parts than original parts. 😯
My 33s are siped.

Offline Now that I have 35s, how long does my Dana 35 (30 spline w/ ARB) axle have to live? Just trying to be prepared.

I see a pattern - I'll say 35 minutes on the trail or 35 road miles, whichever is furthest from home.

Offline Depends...are we talking Fordyce Trail? Then I give you a few good runs before it explodes. Strawberry Trail? Maybe up to the waterfall before it explodes. Hammers? Good luck

Offline Most anyone else, the axle would last a long time. With you behind the wheel 😯 I have seen you drive up winch hill 1 on Fordyce like you stole the Jeep 😈

its only a matter of time. i hope you carry spares? here is a link to what happened to mine ,its the last pic showing the carrier and ring gear. it doesnt look to bad in the pic , but it sounded pretty bad when it went. i was only doing 20 mph on a fire road in 2nd. it only had 92,000 miles on it.

It wasn't difficult. It does take a little time though. If you doing just the front you might be able to get it done in a day but plan on an entire weekend for those little unknowns that popup with any project. Take your time.
On a side note, I didn't care for the bare aluminum look from the outside so I picked up a couple cans of Rustoleum Undercoating (Lowe's) and sprayed the fender wells with that. Plan on one can per fender well.

Was yours 30 spline at the time or stock? I know it's still only a matter of time but I know stock is much weaker.

Wow, that link tells the story. Kevin, please upgrade that axle before you die. Hate to loose a friend.

woow i forgot you had upgrade shafts and carrier. if you welded the tubes to the pumpkin then you should be fine with 35's , i think.

Offline I ordered some spare Ten Factory 30 spline shafts from 4wd.com for the D35 rear. A D60 isn't in the budget at the moment so I'm going to try and get through the summer and hopefully never have to use the spares.
I used the 10% club discount plus I had a $25 promo card. 😀
