If you not breaking a D44 with 39.5s your not a real wheeler, your just afraid to break parts
Oh and my locked D60 cost me $700. The full hydro setup was free :flipoff:
Why bag on the guy for NOT breaking? Sounds like he knows his rig, his limits, and drives within them. Do you gotta have a 60 to be a real wheeler? I mean get real.:masturbanana[1]:

The problem within the users groups is people like different levels of wheeling. I more less stay off the easier trails or just use them as a road to other trails...I'm sure this goes for 99% of the "buggy" crowd and don't try to make them harder...but some people who like the easier stuff want to try the harder trails and feel its there right to make them easier so they can run them.

this is exactly what i plan on doing. something i can have fun and learn in through my last year of highschool and through college before i get an actual job and create a beast
i also know that with learing also comes carnage as thats part of the game, but i dont think i need to learn with a 60 and a 44 or toyota front end will work fine. thanks everybody for the input.Damnyankee

I wheel with anybody that will wheel with me.
Hmm, maybe thats the problem..lol
But in all honesty, in general i WILL wheel with anybody. Now there are times that i won't let somebody come along. But it has nothing to do what they wheel.
But Lets say i'm going to go do some VERY hard trails, and a guy in an open open sami asks to come along, I'll tell him no, not in that rig. and this is just because I want to have a good day and not drag him around all day long. On another day that we are just trail crusing and have fun, absolutely, he can come along.
I've had people do a "tech" inspection on my rig to see if i can hang with them, I've never been turned down (but i know better than to try and tag along with the buggy guys running the OM) but i fully understand why. They don't want a person in a hacked up broken down rig spoiling there day. Its just no fun to be forced to tow somebody around all day.
Not too long ago, I had a friend in a semi built pathfinder want to go run the busy wild with me, he is a good friend, but i told him NO. not until you fix that cross member.
We all need to just have fun doing what we like to do, and not think that because i have 1 tons, or a buggy, or even a jeep that you are superior in wheeling to others.

If you stick with the 44, leave it open or run a limited slip...
You'll be less likely to break...
And be sure to carry spare shafts, along with everything needed to tear it down and repair on the trail...

I'm giving the guy ****. if that drives him away from wheeling then that's his problem. If he wants to run 39.5s' on his D44 then he is free to do that just like I am free to my opinion of 39.5s on a D44 :fawkdancesmiley:
Get real? The reality is.... as soon as you bolt big tires on a D44 you are past it's limits, I never said you need a 60 to be a real wheeler I said if your running a stock D44 and 39.5s' without breakage your probably not wheeling it hard enough and it's nothing to brag about, unless fire road wheeling is your bag :haha:

That about sums it up on my end. I'll wheel with anyone that'll have me around. I just want to go have fun, yea I'll make fun of your pretty little barbie Jeep with it's pathetic joke for axles but you can make fun of my pink yota with a 4 cylinder trying to push 'tons and 44's around, so in my eye's we're pretty much even. :haha:

Geeze, I couldn't get my D44 to survive 36" swampers and a stock 350/auto in a 1/2t Chebby.
Now I have a Toy w/ dual t's, Long's and 39.5 Iroks. Much better so far.........

My parents were in the offroad animals before i was even born i grew up wheelin with b.l.a.s.t and the animals my whole life. My faverett wheelin spot is elbe and i run all trails their with my dana 44 and 39.5s. I dont lock the front and i weld the rear every time and it has worked for me so far. Now (puo) i can see running a 10 bolt with a locker under a full size chevy truck as a potential problem but i actually fit through the trails and i dont only wheel on the east side so before you go and talk **** about who wheeles and how hard you should really think about it. I wasnt saying its unbrakeable i was just saying that so far ive had good luck with mine and if i do break something i still know that i havnt upgraded anything so theirs lots of room for improvement. I know lots of people with dana 44s and they happen to like them to. I would like to build a 60 but when i do i want to do it right and with all good parts. So for now im gonna run what ive got and have an effin blast while im doing it cause if i break my 44 it will cost hardly nothing to fix it.:;
