mvusse Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 At least he upgraded the axles, but it still needs either better front axle shafts and u joints or a bigger axle. I break 297 style u joints (same as D44) with 35" tires. I have tried Duralast and Duralast Gold (may be great for stock tires, but junk for what I do), Neapco and Neapco Bruteforce (about the same as the Duralast), Spicer 5-297x (not up to the task), Spicer 5-760x (solid cross, cold forged, 40% stronger, used to last a while but the last two I grenaded within minutes of being on the trail) and now an Alloy USA Chromoly one (althought that one took some work to break). I'm not spending $300 on CTM.. Buddy of mine with a Bronco on 38s has busted u joints in the gravel parking lot before getting on the trail. He upgraded to a D60. Still, nice looking mall crawler as it is.
