I have had mine 4 two years. I ran it into the ground with 300k on it. I mean hard. I tried to kill it because i had a new engine to swap. I could not kill it. I don't know anyone that owns a Jeep and can say that they wheel the PISS out of it with 300,000 miles on the stock engine and drive it to and from work 60 miles everyday. I'll shut-up now  :_oops:  :cheese:

simple: every body is diffrent. everyone has diffrent likes and dislikes. people go different places diffrent speeds and at diffrent *intervules.* so, what do you do? you keep in mind what you like to do, then you find out what setup you prefer to have take you to your perfered destination. that's it...

it dose not matter.

the only thing that matters is that you are satasfiyed with what you drive and it suits the envirinment you will encounter with it...

i have never heard anyone say,"i need to go buy a economy car to race top fueled dragsters" total opposite actualy

bottom line... everyone's rig says something about themself.
                   everyone's rig has it's own meaning and
                   everyone's rig is DIFFRENT

and i'm glad

random facts: tires will not work in space.
                    tires need pressure and serface area to create enogh friction to move the tire.
                    no 4 wheeled vehicle can climb a vertical wall on tire traction alone. period.
                    in order to climb that wall,(on traction alone), horizontal presure must be applyed

my theaorys: 
      1.) any gain in one area will cause a loss in another
          example a.) wheelbase: 
                          take a picture of your faverate side of your vehical.
                          draw one line from the center of the rear tire to the center of the front. this will give you a radius.
                          the shorter the radius, the smaller the rock it takes to make that line 90 degrees from horizontal.

                           so if you want to climb biger rocks you need a longer whelbase

                           doing this hinders turning radius

i'm gonna cut this short. but if any buddy wants more, i could keep going

I think what he is saying is that comparing a $4,000 rig to a $50,000 rig is like saying that a Honda Civic is better than a Formula 1 car for racing because it costs less and can still race.

I think Dana 30's suck!   :moon:  No matter what application you use it in.

Turbo- The question is : If you worked on a Dana 30 axle, then worked on a Toyota 8" axle would you still want to use a Dana 30 axle for your own personal vehicle knowing the Toyota is a better and stronger design?

You can not compare the D30 with a Toy8". It's like comparing the bearded lady, the tightrope walker, and the contortionist at the circus: All are exciting and unique, but only one is shockingly flexible.

No, some need Maxi pads with wings. :rofl: sorry, had to go there.

BTW maxi pads are better for oil leaks than tampons unless you can find the hole.

Would a D30 even be as strong as a Sammi axle? :gap:

No matter how far you fall, the ground will always catch you

Willy Mammoth

doubt it, With out adding any power they are plenty strong to support the weight, but if you want to wheel them you better watch out.

First the u joint brakes, then it jacks the nuckle apart and the wheel comes off.

Seen it happen too many times.

I never broke anything in the front of my sammi and it had a detroit in it, granted there is a whole lot less power.

With all the constant rehashing of the same opinions in this thread, I'm pretty sure you could condense about 8 pages into 8 responses.  You'd get the same opinions as you have here already, just less to read through.

my xj is cooler than your toyota. jk
its not about what is better jeeps or toyotas its about how much, or little, the driver knows about there rig.  if some idiot breaks something on their jeeps and doesnt know how to fix it then all jeepers get a bad wrap but same goes for toyotas but i think that its more common with jeeps because there are more jeeps and even more idiots that drive them. and no im not one of them   :greengrin:
