I was going to cryo my 4.88s, the carrier, and the yoke. Would that help?

First time: Big bear, bald BFG AT's 33x12.50x15, open front. sheaed 2 teeth off the ring gear.
I have only broke shafts since then, even with the addition of an Aussie, and KM2's

3.55s, AX15, 33" ATs (same ones as last time... with less tread), aussie locker, 4lo, reverse. Trying to get my tow rig unstuck in the snowy driveway last month, at least I heard it pop and put the clutch in before I separated the balljoints this time.
That is a 297 size shaft. The joint was factory but unharmed - the ears ripped off.

This is about breaking D30s.
Not blowing up shitty ujoints.

I broke a few stock shafts on 33x12.5 buckshots wheeling hard.
I even bent the ears on a yukon chromoly.

the ujoint trunnion was actually 100% intact, surprisingly. Shafts exploded but that's about it.This is about breaking D30s.

I still haven't blown up a gearset or carrier, probably because shafts are my fuse right now. Even if I did, 3.55s = I go to the junkyard and get another and stuff my locker in it.

Those gears are just fine, just reset the backlash much tighter35" kevlars

I was thinking about welding the teeth back on and filing a bit of the weld..:shhh:

I realized something. It's usually the ring gear that loses teeth right? Someone should make a D30 pinion out of carbide that matches the ring out of some cheap R&P set... when it rips teeth off the ring gear, just build up a weld where the tooth was and let it cut it to shape :eyes: no, I am not serious, why are you even wondering?

I broke the ring/pinion of a low pinion unlocked dana 30 with 4.10's when i was stuck in the snow. I was applying the brake trying to see if it would push the power to the side with traction, I failed.
A few posts back we were talking about how OG dana 44's are in some cases a downgrade from a hp30. So how are JK dana 44's and 30's for that matter compared? I know they have 32 spline outers and and the unit bearing can run with out axle shafts like WJ's can, but how else do they compare?

that expression gets used so must, i think we need to define it, and quantify just how much "wheeling the piss" out of something is.
not bashing anyone who posted. just LOLing to myself.

Was on 35's for a year, then 37's for a couple, 39.5's for a year and back to 37's since its a dd again. Broke a r&p on the 35's because the crosspin in the carrier broke. Other than that, with the 39's last year at the hammers after running jack, sledge and chocolate thunder a couple times i broke a shaft on the second run up resolution. i crawl everything for the most part and keep the front tires out from under cuts. Do i trust the 30, hell no.... and when i get off my ass i have something else to put in it but until then ill just keep going easy on it...
