Building A Front Skid / Dana 30 Spider Gear Replacement / Jeep XJ

Рет қаралды 8,784

3 ай бұрын

The Jeep Cherokee XJ has taken some damage on the last trip. The extent of it I discover in this video and its more than I expected. The diesel heater build although successful is valuable to deep snow, so I build a skid plate to house and protect it.
The Dana 30 axle u joint exploded which needs replacing but unfortunately there is a lot more damage than I first thought. The symptoms of the failure have been getting worse over time because the front has been behaving more and more like a locked differential due to the jammed spider gears.
Despite the damage and work its good that it happened as it highlighted some issues that need addressing and Its always good to reach the line so you know when to pull back next time.

I didn't see that other video, but that makes sense. Torquing that hub nut in the air is just like having a locker with a wheel bound up in the rocks; that's a lot of strain on the spiders for sure. Definitely could have introduced some micro-fractures that later led to the carnage, as normally a u-joint will fail long before a spider gear. Hub nut torque should always be done with the wheel installed and resting on the ground (or held with the brake) so that the stub shaft splines can take the force instead as they are much stronger than the spiders and don't deflect.

I feel for you, Mike. No one wants surprises like the one you got with your differential. It seems as though you are making the most reasonable choices given the constraints you are facing such as parts availability, costs, basic platform you are working with, climate considerations, etc. I don't blame you for feeling a bit discouraged but trust that your ingenuity will find suitable solutions moving forward. In the bicycle world, we talk about "lighter, stronger, cheaper--pick two." It seems like you are faced with a version of these choices in your overlanding adventures. Take heart and hopefully your future adventures will treat you with more (equipment) kindness.

Idk if I’d want to fully lock a d30 but if you’re just in snow using it, it’s not too bad. There’s some guys who use massive tires/40inch+ up here in north Idaho snow and get away with it on d30s, they keep the clearance and weight down. I’ve used a lunchbox in the rear axle of my dad’s Toyota and you have to just learn how to drive it. As soon as you lift off power it disengages so you can coast through a turn. Plus it’s not as bad on the front. They’re cheap: maybe you should try it, just see if maybe you’d like it. Won’t hurt in the snow. If you drive 4wd on icy streets you will have to baby it.

Keep your chin up! If anyone can make it work you can. I have a 1994 Bronco I’ve been modifying and some times I do throw a wrench or two. I agree with having an open front diff option. Even a TrueTrac with “lock” the front wheels and after that you head straight off into a ditch or worse. I have an Eaton E-locker in the front and I like how it works. It’s a little weird to flip a switch and it’s locked as apposed to hearing an air pump turn on first then it locks. And I’ve had air lockers and had them fail over and over again (air leaks and o-rings) I did have a failure of the e-locker when the tabs that keep the magnet from rotating broke at the small welds. Ordered the part and a pretty easy fix other than removing the diff to get at it. I do look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work.

I don't think that your Dana 30 is exactly weak, although it is not a huge differential, The weakest part of it is probably infact the stock open carrier, they usually attend to flex and even infact bend under heavy work load, There is a guy from Florida that had a KZfaq channel called " Rusty 411 " that has a XJ with 40;inch tires that shows the ring gear flange on his Dana 30 being bent. If you would like to see some very good Dana 30 and 44 building videos, one KZfaq channel you may want to check out is BFH Garage, he is a off road guy from Colorado. Or another one is Dirt Lifestyle. They are both very good fabricators. Thank you for your videos. Keep up the great work. Tim from Wisconsin

It's not a bad axle, and I'm doing what I can with it. I have a differential lock coming that will replace the carrier. Also, some CV axles. After that, I won't reinforce it more. I think It will be as far as I take it. Thanks for the link, I watch Rusty and occasionally Nate. I will certainly check out the other guy you mentioned. Thanks for watching

I think you are correct that a piece of the spider gear caused your broken tooth on the ring gear. I think the spider gears are the weak link on the dana 30 front axle. In a 1965 CJ5 that I built, I installed a Dana 30 with 5.38 gears and I installed a spicer powerlock limited slip. The power lock has two halves of the case that bolt together, there are also 4 pinion gears and double cross shafts making it much stronger than a open differential. It also has very good holding ability. I think Yukon gear is now making a copy of the Power Lock, I haven't checked to see if they make one for the dana 30 lately. My first choice in your case would still be to go with a helical gear limited slip, they are very durable and will give you both front wheels spinning in most cases in the snow with good on road manners on snowing roads in 4wd. The other options are full lockers, but they aren't so good on snow covered slick roads. It is a shame that it costs so much to ship from the US to europe. My current Jeep TJ has ARB air lockers in my Currie High Pinion 9 inch axles. The ARB's are nice, but they leak air on occasion and they are very expensive. My last off roads rigs all had Detroit lockers front and rear and asside from being not fun to drive in 4wd on snowy roads, they were awesome. I also built a Jeep CJ7 with 1/2 ton chevy axles and I was on a budget, so I used Lockrite lockers front and rear and I never had any issues with them on 35's.

@mateuszkusmierz223 3 ай бұрын

RCV axle shafts (30 spline) + OX locker (electric actuator). OX Carrier has 4 spider gears and this setup is rated by manufacturers to last 35" tyres in D30. That is what I got for my jeep from the beginning and looking on your issues it seems like it was good idea... I hope You will get on track with rebuilt diff soon! I know it is a lot of money but larger diff will lower your front ground clearance.

@1emt95 3 ай бұрын

So obviously getting parts is gonna be really annoying and expensive but 30 spline shafts with bigger u joints are about the same cost as normal chromoly shafts. The expsnsive part is the 30 spline locker but once you do that thats really the strongest dana 30 you can have. Just a thought since you are kinda stuck with that axle

Mike, you need a set of JK axles if you insist on running 35's. The JK Dana 30 HP is considerably beefier then the pre 07 Dana 30's. The non-Rubicon JK axles would address your issues. That and RCV axle shafts. You could even go non-Rubicon front and rear Dana 44's. I know they're expensive but trying to beef up a Dana 30 that is only good to 33's max, will continue to cause disappointment and be cost prohibitive.

I don’t know, may I can be saying a nonsense thing. But as you face a lot and sometimes deep snow, wouldn’t be better you adapt something in the front bumper that would move he snow to the sides, leaving less snow for the Jeep push against its suspension and other parts? Could be something that you attach when needed, yes would put more weight at the front, but you would also have more traction and also saving you to have constant maintenance from parts that end up getting smashed by snow.

Idk what the preferred corless tool brand is over there (Festool?), but they need to sponsor Mike! Lots of exposure, and Mike gets a corless Grinder. Edit: The R&P is the weakest area on the D30 you have built up. I'm surprised it was the carrier too. There has to be some form of 1 ton vehicle over there you can get an axle out of. If not. How about some sort of hybrid? I think you could fab a Ford 9" center and axle tubes (or something else strong, maybe an 8.8"?) and run D30 outer stuff?

I know exactly where you are coming from re the Dana 30. My TJ has the even weaker low pinion version and I am working on a high pinion from an XJ to switch in, but whatever we do to truss it, add chromoly shafts, etc., etc. there is nothing we can do to make the ring and pinion stronger. So frustrating watching all the KZfaq footage of US Jeep owners swapping in one of a vast range of alternative axles, knowing they just aren't around in any sort of numbers in Europe. The only real choice is spend a kings ransom to ship axles from the US, or cross our fingers and run the Dana 30. PS what brand of chromoly shafts were they? Pretty shocked the U Joint took out a stub shaft on a chromoly.

@WorkshoptoWilderness 2 ай бұрын

Its tough seeing the plentiful axle swaps while all we have here are dana 30's. Even the 8.25 29 spline on the rear is getting rare. I'm using Ten Factory 27 spline shafts with the 5-760x joints. Saying this though my longer shaft side is totally dead now and I'm just using a standard shaft. The Eyes on the stub shaft are completely deformed and misaligned and I wont pay 400 euros excluding shipping for another. Thanks for watching.

@polini1982 3 ай бұрын

I don't think it's a good idea to weld the caps on. The movement in the radial direction is necessary to avoid misalignment when the joint bends. If you weld it tightly it will destroy your bearings. In general, with bearings you only have to have a press fit where the load rotates. With a point load, the caps must have a small amount of play and they can move radially. On your cardan shaft, the cross joints are secured with locking rings because the shaft does not have any intermediate bearings. One end of the front axle is mounted in the wheel hub and the other part is guided in the axle tube. If you drive with them stuck you will destroy the whole axle!!!
