Default Pics of your Parts Failures

I always hear dont run this part or that part, its to weak and will break under pressure. Another one, Don't put money into a D35, It will just give you problems.

Looking for pics like what would happen to a D30 in certian cicumstancies if it is not trussed? ECT..........

Anything broken on the trail or carnage pics

Tie rod on a 1500 chevy pick up. Bent to hell then snapped. Ended up breaking two on the same rock. God I love my jeep. The kids dad who owned the truck was pissed

Ouch, I thought it was the D35s that can't handle 35s.

So if I am looking into running 35's locked, I'd need to look into upgrading my reverse D30 up front?

That's an alloy shaft as well. Broke a couple of them as well as stock before I swapped axles. Only thing I miss about my 35 is the ground clearance and if I wasn't so lazy I'd shave my 60 and get some of it back.

33's on a d44. And your worrying? Maybe 40's on a 44 could cause some worrying, not 33's.

Lost oil pressure, partially due to hardly any oil in it and slung a rod.
