This what happens to a D44 with 40" ltb's! Oh well, easy fix and thought i would share some carnage shots. Enjoy.









Also i am thinking that the d44hd axle shafts are the same as non-hd axle shafts. Am i correct? Just wanted to make sure before i tore my spare axle apart. 18 spline outers and 30 spline inners.

 

You said 40's and D44 in the same sentence!

Bwah hahahahahahahahaha!

Seriously, I thought you SAS'd the beotch with a D60?

If not, then it's time to!

 

as did i, thought it was sas with the 60, if not, either swap to 60 or go chromo. I think nick (quadzjr) is running 44" tires on a chromo 44.

 

From what I have seen, the only difference between a D44 and a D44HD is the "HD" They use the same stuff.

By the way, nice workIt really ripped the caps right out. Where you turned or going straight?

 

I'll never put a 60 in it. Chromos are in the future though when i get the money it.

 

I was actually going straigt when it snapped. I was going across a section with alot of ruts though, thats what caused it. It only lasted the first pass through the mud, not even half way. Maybe 15 yards.

 

i thought there was a u-joint difference,

also
ibleedblue: why wouldnt you go with a 60?

 

lol i was thinking the same thing!

-cutts-

 

Nope, the HD was 8 lug and bigger brakes IIRC.

 

also when you drop a d44hd on your head, you get the hd imprint also along with the 44.

 

The older closed knuckle 44HD's had bigger u-joints. The open knuckle are all standard 44 sized stuff.

 

A 60 is not worth the time and work now that i already have the 44 in. Chromos will get me threw.

 

Thats what i was thinking... I thought you ment you wouldnt go with a 60 to begin with....
Yea having to do that work over again would suck!

 

Thats insane. Makes me glad I already have a D60.

 

Chromos break too... Buddy of mine found that out the hard way....
