I know multiple people here run stock axles with 33s. But how likely are they to break or something go wrong with them. I eventually want 33s with 4.10 gears, but stock axles? Im not sure about them.

D35 is limited to open/33s. My opinion. 8.25 and D30 can do 35s from what I hear.

You don't wheel enough or hard enough yet to worry about it. When you start wheeling rocks then you need to seriously considering regearing, and better axles.

I have a high pinion D30 and a 8.25. Im not sure if its a 29 spline or not though because i have a late model 96. So the few wheeling trips a year i take wont be a huge deal? I wouldnt want to regear and then trash the rest of the axle. Would a front locker be ok in this situation?

An HJ?
Got a speeding ticket, 80 in a 65. Thing is, I know i was going 70.
1) Jeep doesn't even go 80. 75 is its top speed due to vibrations.
2) Had cruise set to 70
3) I seen the cop beforehand
4) The best, I was videoing the instrument cluster to record the odometer.
Cop said he, "observed" me going 80. Not on radar or laser. Just observed. I look forward to the court date.

Foot jobs still work.
Idk. We made a right off of Conoy because we needed to go to a gas station. Onstar said go that way. Then it was like 25 minutes out of our way. We hit the end of the road and turned around. Im assuming that was Barnesville Road. The ticket happened like 2 minutes after that. All the signs said 40.
Your shoulder is so busted you can't turn the wheel to full lock?!?! Damn Stee!!
Heh. Just did 4 without a rear bumper before parking the Jeep up here In PA. Gonna go do some more right now.
One to talk drunkie.
X1000. Stop worrying about your axle.

Because I gave you that impression. My apologies mang, I had every intention of making it up there for a quick drop in, but I had a pretty long and tiring day coupled with the fact that I had to be up at 4:00 this morning to patrol, made it impossible. Let me know the next time you're going to be at Chris' and I'll be there.
