I'm giving it another chance, but only because I can't afford a 44 or 9in now. I can't understand the sudden swing of opinion on the turdy. IT WILL BREAK, THAT'S WHAT 30'S DO! It's as though everyone woke up one morning and said, " I know it has let me or someone I know of down more than once, but I KNOW it won't do that to me (again)."
I hate to sound like a party pooper but it just keeps breaking.
I have been crawling a total of 5 times and the 30 has let me down 3.
Inners twisting the splines (first time), then outers ripping off the ears (third time), then once all shafts were alloys, breaking teeth off of the ring gear (last time). I'm on 33's TT front and E-locker rear and I push it when I am in a bind. Most of the time it gets me through, but on 3 occasions I have heard "pop" and I hate driving home early.
