Question for you. I lived in WI for many years and then moved to CO and started wheeling. Where are you wheeling that you are breaking stuff? I just can't picture any trails around Lake Geneva, or anywhere in WI would be that hard - but like I said, I only started wheeling after I was in CO. Just curious where you do most of your wheeling. Mabye in the western part of the state where this is more rock??

Now just to throw this out their....and by no means am i taking away from Currie and their craftsmanship. But i have been told as of recently by an industry insider and leader in the driveline business that Currie uses sub par gears in their rearends?
The only reason I found this out is because my recent questions about the KOREAN.....made gears i just bought and installed. Yes i did install them and so far they have been good, but being a hardcore Union man and EXTREMELY hardcore about made in america products, quite frankly bothered me.
So i made call after call after call to different driveline guys questioning these gears and apparently in my gear ratio it is the only manufacturer making them.
But as soon as I can afford the 37's and the Dynatrac's it's on.
........So Currie can we have a rebuttal?.........

On our JK RJ60 axle assemblies the only part Currie imports is the casting, and if you want a made in the USA casting is also available. The RJII is made in the USA and RJIII is an import version of the RJII.

Foot in mouth.....
.....No not really.
All I asked for was David to rebuttal on the aformentioned "quotes" by driveline insiders.....insiDERS, plural, as in more then one. And he did, admirably also i might add.
I did not specify exact part numbers but asked for a general sensous, from David, in which I got. Some say the gears from the chinese vendors are, how can i say this.....poopy,. And was told Currie uses these, not in all axles, but some. And that is what I wanted clarification on....from Currie.
And suffice it to say......I got it.....wouldn't you say dyolfknip?

I can tell you that we use 2 different gear manufactures, Motive Mid West Gear and Dana Corporation. Both of these manufactures make gears all over the world not just the USA. So to say that "Currie uses sub par gears in their rearends" could not be further from the truth, unless you consider Motive and Dana to be inferior quality parts.
On our JK RJ60 axle assemblies the only part Currie imports is the casting, and if you want a made in the USA casting is also available. The RJII is made in the USA and RJIII is an import version of the RJII.

the internet is such a wonderful place, alot of opinionated people who have no clue, I OWN Currie Rock Jock 60's and can tell everyone that the quality of the 60's is amazing, INSIDE and out. Currie isn't in business to sell junk.
