Pulled the bent shaft this morning, and found this on the other end:

Which goes really well with the ring gear we pulled out:

And the pinion from the front 30, although, this one has been a long time coming...

Not pictured is the bent drag link, seized ujoint, boatsided rocker, or busted headlight and signal... All from Labor Day weekend!

Good thing it's fun!

I have a 14 bolt housing! But no gears/carrier and have the axles. You’d be better off finding a set on Craig’s or marketplace.

Are you trying to say that those axles don't like 37" Boggers?:thinking:

I'd be better off just going back to 35s. Way cheaper, way easier, and still better diff clearance than 60s on 37s...

Well, I have been running them for a year and a half now, and this is the first time I've seen carnage like this. I had been pretty good at sticking to stuff I could probably do on the 35s, and just doing it easier.

At Rush, I got froggy, and started following the guys on 39s and 42s. And as ole Dirty Harry said...

I have to admit at being impressed you have been able to keep the axles alive with the 37's and still run some decent trails. That is all about driving ability and knowing the boundary between running it hard and abusing it. I've ran with guys in the past that would explode Dana 30 fronts every other ride on 33" radials because they didn't know where that boundary was.
