Thats definitely a D44.

Didnt they only use the d35 in the first year of the JKs?

I'm new to jeeps and just bought my first Wrangler. So you went to 37" tires and are getting 4mpg better than the 35's???? How's that possible

That was awesome guys

Best video yet!!!

We live 25min from Disney, we’ll have to come try this out some weekend!

That tree has taken out so many tail lights. It too got mine. Recently went with the motobilt flush taillight kit.

Do jeeps come standard with the engine light on

2018 and newer JL AND JLU run a variant axel setup. In the spicer Advantek series ranging from the M186 D30. M200 D35, M210 and M220 D44.

Just my personal opinion. I wheel a lot. And have done so for many years. I hang with the like minded. This is my take on running the D30s and D44s on 37s You can do it and there is nothing wrong with it. However there are several week points that need to be addressed. At least should be. I think where you really start to run into issues once you beef up everything in that stock housing is the ring and pinion. That pinion gets really small especially if you go into 5.38 gears. That is a serious weak point. Yes you can do it but your still risking it. One good bind up and that R&P is likely going to go. There are also other factors. Like how heavy your lead foot is. When I went to 37s from 35s I considered my axles. At the time I had a spicer 60 in the rear and a spicer 44 widened upfront. Long story how I ended up with that setup so ill spare you the details. What I considered was the ring and pinion as a 5.38 on that front 44. Did not want to risk it and put the spicer 60 up front. Yes 60s are costly. upwards of 20k or more for a crate axle set and going the junkyard swap may not be ideal once thats all built up. There are some deals out there every now and then. No doubt it is a big expense to do dana 60s on a jeep. So many other parts need to me changed or modified. On the bright side you gain significant amount of low end weight. A built Dana 60 is incredibly heavy next to a 44 or 30. Like I was saying. You can do it. Many have with little issue but I have seen that R&P go in a few built up 30s and 44s with 5.13 or 5.38s. If you can do the 60 swap just do it.

My jl sport 2 door has the M210 up front and the M220 in the back with full independent selectible lockers, lol. I must admit i stuck them on. Next will be rcv shafts with fad delete, trusses, gussets, rebuildable ball joints, steel knuckes, chromeoly rear axle shafts, and maybe an uograded ox locker with 4:88s. Lol. Ill fib and tell everybody it came factory like that.

My son's Jeep at KZfaq channel Papa Surf Off-roading is a 2010 JKU Sport with 5.13s in a D30 front with 37" tires. 220K miles and no axle breaks.

There’s my beautiful sister!!

This is the problem with every new jeeper starting there own youtube channel. Alot of inexperience and very green to the hobby and jeep world.

You really need more ME in your videos!! I mean have you met ME!! I’m hilarious. Oh and be doing bad ass stuff in Dungeon Master. Cmon!!! Love the channel and you two!!

Ball joint killers

Just Kill the Stupid Music.

I need to know.. how do you drive 70mph and take your hands off the wheel? My ‘14 JK is all over the lane at that speed 😅.

I like the video and it’s good to see what your Jeep will do. As far as your breakage goes if your tires are straight I’ll bet it’s the front pinion,if tires are hard L/R maybe an axle u-joint. Time will tell. I’ll keep watching

Yes when you measure the height after at the trailer hitch you can see the rear axle it’s a Dana 44

Have any of you’s ever had death wobble after leaving the trails on your way home once back on the roads?

😅 Bleep bleep bleep!

B made it a sawed off tailpipe 😂😂

Fantastic!

Damn I thought I was crazy runnning 38s on JLUR D44s with RCVs.

Its the same housing as the dana 44 so its been there and done that; the actual difference is that the dana30 axles have no real gears inside of them so they can blow up

Why don't you sell the existing axles while they are still good and unstressed.

I've been running 37's on sport axles, dana 30 and dana 44 with 4.88 gears. I do rock crawling about 4 times a year. I have broken two axles but in reality, that's not too expensive compared to going to 1 tons and everything else required. I have a 6 sp manual and it crawls great with all my friends with 40's and 1 tons.

Run it! You won’t know until you do. I’ve never run 37s on a 30. Largest size tire was a 35. Axle was in my XJ. Broke both axle shafts on the Rubicon before getting to any of the hard obstacles. In my experience, it’s just a matter of time before a Dana 30 lets go. I wouldn’t dump money into building up a 30 for 37s. You’ve got free 5.13 gears and 30s of today are an improvement over 30s of yore. Run what you got and start putting money towards a better axle in the meantime. You’ve got nothing to lose and the experience will make you a better Jeeper.

If you're not locked, the D30 will live with a moderate skinny pedal. The first weak link is the axle U-joints. There are ways of addressing this: inner full circlip joints, Almost alloy weld on caps, or of course RCV shafts. A high spline count carrier (GrizzlyLocker, etc.) combined with axle shaft mods nets great results. The next weak link becomes the ring and pinion. Again, a moderate pedal greatly extends the lifespan of your parts. Bending the housing on a D30 generally only happens with high abuse; a truss or inner sleeving the tube (I pressed in and rosette welded hot rolled tube inside my XJ axle tubes) alleviates much of that worry. If you don't sky it out you should be OK.

I have a 13 two-door sport I've been running 37 bfgs for over 7 years, Dana 44 in the rear with a mini spool Yukon chromoly axles and Dana 30 in the front Yukon axles lock write Locker 488 gears Adams Drive Shaft CV delete, had a guy here in Florida break into the computer unlock it and create 18 so that I can run the Spool in the rear no lights or limp mode I will the hell out of my Jeep, yes every once in awhile I break something but it's usually an Axel not a big deal the Yukon chromoly axles can take pretty good punishment, don't underestimate a Dana 30 I know people will laugh but when it's all said and done my Jeep is extremely lightweight and that's the thing I was really trying to achieve mostly flat trail riding in a lot of mud here in Florida

Fun fact: all four door JKs (JKUs), except early 07 models, came standard with D44 rear axles

As long as common sense stays in the pic, you will be fine. Subscribed.

I absolutely agree that it's all about the driver. If you try to drive it like a rock bouncer with the 37s, yeah things are gonna break and bend. Driver mod above all else

😂❤

I don't think vans were the best option that day...

THE BACKWARDS WATERFALL CLIMB 🤣

Where at in Oklahoma are you? I'm OKC and haven't seen y'all.

You can do ittttttt! 😂 We ain’t skeered

Well, you both know full well some of the crazy shenanigans Gypsy has been involved in and how much I can yeet! She was on stock D30/35 axels/gears and open diff with 4in lift and 37s for 75k miles before we did the axel swap. No bending or damage. Only upgraded because I wanted lockers!

Pshh Pshh I'm a turbooooooo! LMAO

Wow, that’s a lot of mud

can you leave the edits out? Otherwise great content

Love Cross Bar so much! She dead-eyed that tree and it showed her it wasn't messing around 😂

Funny how the people who sit on the sidelines are the ones tryin to tell people how to do it 😆😆😆

Now I know where "that face" came from 🤣

lol 😂😂😂😂😂 minijeep309

Those waterfalls are so knarly, even more so in person! That side by side runs straight over everything so easily and can’t wait to see more of master splinter and the turtles!!
