Default Why we love Dana 30's

Tried to get up a big rock and kept spinnin the tires so i backed down and let some more air out of the tires then tried it again.....BOOM there goes the ring gear. Broke about 3 or 4 teeth off the front ring gear. Gotta love Dana 30's. Luckily its just an excuse to build my D44 thats been sittin in the garage for about a week now. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics
