^^^^^Yep thats why I recommended just doing C's on the D30 no need to waste money on the Dirty 30. I feel like a idiot for dropping money in the 30. I fully expect something to break soon or the ball joints to wear out. Then I can move up to 60's full float with manual hubs.

Should have spent $200 on an Aussie instead of $750 for E-locker. But if I don't toast it I can always get like $400 for the carrier. But most likely I'll run my poor dirty 30 to the ground 😎

If it ain't broke then don't fix it!

I agree with you on the Aussie but I still don't think you made a bad decision. I don't know your finances nor all the details surrounding your jeep but I do know, in my case at least, it's hard to swindle 5k away on axles without the wife finding out..

Id like to clarify that the d44 tubes aren't the same size.
They are larger diameter but the wall is the same thickness. Everything else is the same as far as the housing, besides the diff part of course.
But yeah, like I said, I've ran my 100% stock d30 on 37s for a year now with moderate wheeling every week usually multiple times and I daily drive it, and I've not had one single issue. Not even worn my ball joints out yet. I've probably put about 10-15k on the tires so far. Still have 2/3rd tread left on the trusty ole trail grapplers.
I have c-gussets for it but they're just sitting in the garage. I don't think I'll need them but I'll eventually weld them on anyway.

And y'all need to build junkyard 60s instead of spending 11k on aftermarket ones....learn to weld and you can do 1-tons for about 5-6k probably...maybe a tad more or less

Lol thanks for the advice.....6k is still a hefty bit of money, though.

If 6K were to disappear from our accounts and end up on the Jeep.... there would be a dead man... but a Nice Jeep
