Busted -
I have been running 37's on a D30 for nearly two years with no problems. I installed 5.13 gears roughly 4 weeks ago, and 2 weeks after that while I was in Moab, I busted my front left axle and u-joint. The right side u-joint is busted as well. I am also VERY ginger on the gas and never hop my tires.
I was considering upgrading and beefing up my D30, but I know it's gonna happen again if I wheel.
I ordered my Prorock 44 today... Now I can drive with confidence without the thought of my shafts, u-joints, or housings exploding.
Yes it's a lot of money, but I can crawl stress-free now. Just my

I have a been running 37's on a D3O for a about a year now. 5.13's, gussets, sleeves, open. I do moderate off-roading, mostly Butcher Jones for those familiar. I spent a couple of days in Moab for Easter and hit some trails. Made it home with no issues. If I ever bust the D30, no big deal. If I ever bust a PR44......not pleased.

I feel the same way I can have my whole drive line upgraded for the price of a prorock 44 don't get me wrong I would love to have one its just not in the budget right now.

She has seen A LOT of abuse though. This was our 10th or so trip to Moab and we typically do 3+ trails and the occasional 4. I got my money out of her. Housing is just fine though... Only the axles.

Front is open. We were crawling over a SMALL boulder and KABLAMO. We were even driving straight, no turn in the wheels.

Im talking about hardcore rock trails in my area I have a lot of creek bottoms mud clay wooded trails and alot of gullys and hills. And I do enjoy the extra ground clearance and look of 37s
