otherwise screw the 30

It makes a lot of sense to build a Dana 30 if it suits your purposes and rig. A dana 30 is not equal to a Dana 35

it has a smalluh ring and peenion and same shaft diameter as a dana35


my mindset on this subject matter is as follows:


if my 1 ton tie rod end gets bent beyond use, or "pulls out", i lose a jam nut,or whatever happens to it (not that it isnt stronger than stock because fuk yah it is) i have to go track down the replacement parts (or carry $140 in rod ends and hardware). can't just swap in a stock setup in 20 minutes because my reamed knuckles wont allow it.


but if i keep stock steering and keep 10 lbs of stock steering (easily available and usually free) in the back of my jeep i can fix it within 20 minutes and be on my merry way once again.

So what happens when you bend 2-3 sets of stock steering on a single run?

stock steering doesnt even have to hit something to bend

def seen that more than once

[Zullock Holmes]

stock steerings fucking amaze me, they are a fucking enigma.

i have seen them bend seemingly on almost nothing, maybe trying to get a tire on a medium sized rock or something small. Always something that seems too insignificant to actually bend it.
Then other times i have seen people drive them directly into rocks, kinda like how maru bend his one ton. And they take the fucking hit, unscathed.

There have been times there should be no stock steering left like it should have exploded into another dimension, but sure enough its there. Then a week later, you bend that shit tire stacking or something stupid.
