1 TONS... DANA 60, DANA 70, DANA 80, 14 BOLT, STERLING 10.5. Do you need one ton axles? Are you sure? Your Dana 44, or Toyota axles might not be enough for your project. In today's video we will explore when it's time to bite the bullet and get those axles your buddies have been saying you need. Not everyone needs to upgrade but in certain builds, one ton axles are the only way you can meet the demands of your 4x4.
Enjoy the video! This is only the beginning of this series!

Wise words, and as always..great content! You’re so right about the weight....it sneaks up on you with all the crazy bumpers and gear on the market. The unsprung weight itself is actually insane when you add a D60, D80, and big tires, calipers, etc. My truck is a completely different vehicle when unloaded and no rack. I was at 8700 lbs empty and I realized I was already legally at full GCVW....I had to start lightening things up and it makes a big difference.

I had a 78 Jeep Cherokee Chief for a while, had a T18 4 speed, Dana 20 transfercase with center output and an offset Dana 44 rear axle. The offset rear axle was what most Cherokees had because the quadratrac transfercase had the offset to the right with a rear output. Drove that thing quite a bit and never had any issues with joints or driveline. One tons are so cute and girly. I have a set of Axletech 4000s that are going to find their way under one of my M715s soon.

my brother and I did the rubicon last week in his old 4runner on 38.5's with a 1 ton rear and smaller solid axle front that my brother swapped in with a wimpy 3.0L v6 geared super low. It was my first time wheeling and I'm hooked. my bro did most of the fabrication work himself and it turned out well. by the time we made it to observation point both of the rear shock mounts had failed, but the leaf springs got us home. I am now beginning my search for my own rig. I am leaning towards a 1st generation tundra with a 4.7L v8 as my canvas. thanks for the videos.

Good videos, good information. I haven't read every comment so.... If what I'm about to say has been convered - sorry. 😬 1) what year model is your 99-04 axle? You probably already know this, but it may benefit your viewers to discuss the 99-02 & 03/04 issues. If you're unfamiliar, reach out. 2) 2003-2014 all used the same 1480 u-joints. They didn't go to 1550 u-joints until 2015. 3) look for a 2011+ rear differential and you might get lucky and find a factory electric locker before you re-gear.

The front axle Has RCV's in it and very nice ring and pinion, The back is the same but with stock axles (Yikes) . I'll continue to drive it this way unless I Break things, But then I have the 4wp warranty for 5 years so I'll just get replacement parts for free.

I will get chromoly or cv eventually. For now I'm gonna do some light wheeling with the guys. I've wanted 37s ever since I purchased this jeep when I was 15 and it had 33s at the time. I'm 27 now and have never broken anything while offroad with the d35 and d30 that came with the jeep. I hope the 8.8 and hp30 are as good to me as these axels have been.

I run 1 ton axles that came with my 2010 f250. Running 6in lift on 40s. I wheel hard. I am the only guy out of my crew that a) hasn’t blown their axle up, b) haven’t had wheel bearing failure, and c) haven’t had excessive brake wear or caliper failures. Not to mention I haven’t been replacing wearables either (such as ball joints). I hate having broken parts and having to work on something just to make it work (working on something to make it better is a different story). The only thing a Dana 60 gives up is weight and ground clearance, but you gain time between rebuilds, less parts breakage, ability to run bigger tires and more in the end more time wheeling less time fixing broken stuff.

Good fun. I redid the JKR44 front in mine. Bought it in pieces, tubes had broke. Retubed with 3/8" wall DOM, has Barnes and Ballistic pieces, 4.88 and e locker. Have fun pressing the tubes out of the pig. Hope you have access to a lathe! :)

Being a Design Engineer, Jeep guy and camping person, you are doing it correctly. You sure don't need my opinion, but I will say I agree with you.

Well said sir! Weight is the most important overlooked factor.

Low buck option for the front axle u-joint ears issue- weld a plate on the outside ala Iron Rock Offroad's "Almost Alloy" caps for the D30. Reinforces the weakness of the ears' thin wall and reduces 'warping' under heavy load. Not as cool as RCVs, but buys time to save the scratch while usin' yer rig...
