If you want a real spool, you should weld it.
Never heard of anyone breaking an 8.8 carrier.

No, id just like to know where hes getting his info from...i cant see why it would cause an insurance company to not follow up on a claim as its not really a safety issue as much as maybe say, a swaybar not being installed.

Any insurance will look for any way to weasel out of paying on a claim...
You think they enjoy paying up?
I can actually see them denying a claim based on the amount of "not for highway use-off road only" mods done to a vehicle...
hell they could probably deny it based on the amount of legal lift allowed in your state...

I still think his "broken 8.8 shaft" was a photochop.Gil BullyKatz said:

a 28 spline could be broken, but i agree the 31 spline 8.8 from an explorer with disc breaks that bolts into an XJ - no one can break thoes with the puny 4.0L...
id bet that the top fuel dragsters will start switching to 8.8's once they realise their potential...

Just like no front swaybar.

I think you guys are on to something. I'd pay good dough for an unbreakable axle shaft package.

All you have to do is swap out your SuperNinjaUltraMayhem-60 for a junkyard 8.8 out of an Explorer and you'll have sweet disks and 4.10 gears and if you get lucky, you might find one with a limited slip.Goatman said:
Unfortunately, you'll have to relocate the spring perches which I'm sure is out of your league, so you'll have to farm it out.
But, at least it's not a c-clip D-35, ha ha ha ha.
Am I right, or what?

Hey mike, don't forget... I made it up that near impossible 8' icy ledge. Its just an XJ thing i guess... And my 8.8 is just welded up... Beat the crap out of it with 37s this summer with no breakage.

Ya, the same ledge the blue yj on dana 60s rolled on. I did witness the 8.8 break. After all the beating i did on my 8.8, I couldn't believe it myself.

Actually this break strengthens my trust in the 8.8.
It hit hard enough to bend the ring gear teeth that were engaged when it caught traction before the shaft snapped.
I'm amazed the pinion gear and support held up to that.

That's the strongest part of an 8.8.
Richard, I have an 8.8 that I'd be willing to trade for your Tera, if you float a little cash over to help make up the difference in value.
