sure, for the spider gear issue....but then you still have those pesky 1.17" axle shafts to deal with

BUT, anything can last....driver style and terrain are the factors that matter.

ive wheeled with a locked 35 on 33x12.5's without a breakage.

and i have a few customers on locked 35's, including one with a locked35 on 33x13.5 boggers

Sweet guys. Hanks for all the updates. Think instead of paying to upgrade the gears for the 35 I'll start checking some junkyards.

Thats what I do....
But mine is locked(spartan) and have hardened shafts... only running 31' tyres with 3.73 gears and a 5 speed box..
Keep the old shafts in the jeep when wheeln and some gasket goo and and a few litres of gear oil..

Would love to get a bigger axle but here in Ireland they are non excistant...
