MiNi Beast Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Which lights you running? I just them typical work lights from TSC and also found a set of led lights $50 each but they bright as hell and are for front of tractors so think they'll work good for the front of rig for them night time runs. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiNi Beast Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 So how you like them? how did you spot yours? For me I spoted them at the front of the back tires and the back of the front tires so I had a direct line of sight with the spot for when I'm looking out the window I can easily see what my tires are driving over or on.

JeepcoMJ Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You're gonna need more axle shafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 And unit bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You still have the front locker? Rob witnessed me breaking one on the street backing out of his driveway when I was running welded. Obviously the rear was fine. But I broke 3 or 4 driver side shafts...on the street. Looks good on 35s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 yup, front locker that is a little less harsh then a welded diff. and lots of spare shafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 a little less harsh...but still not ideal. I assume you're planning an axle upgrade soon? or alloy shafts with warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 id stick with stock shafts in that 30. id rather break those all day long then a R&P. driveshafts are also a common fail once you do that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reson46 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It's not like it is going to explode as soon as you put it in low range. Just use your head while wheeling. Will things eventually break? Of course, but that is no different than any other part of the rig. I've broken plenty of shafts and a ring gear and wouldn't hesitate running 35s on a D30 again.

Willy i agree. hell i have wheeled with guys on 37s with a D30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have wheeled with 35s on a D30 for three years. I'm done with the D30! Tired of losing wheels on the highway, depleting 4 junk yards of good unit bearings (the one that caused me to lose my wheel, incidentally was the last one I bought new, Timken brand) and axle shafts, ripping control arm mounts off the axle and rebuilding pumpkins/replacing the entire housing. Over those three years I have gone through 4 axle housings, three gear sets, multiple pinion bearings and countless shafts, u joints and unit bearings. If I add that up I could have had a D60 under there long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
