It was a rough time, but it healed up. But its not what it use to be thats for sure. Sorry to hear you are going through it

How did you tear yours?

Benching

It would have made a massive difference on a lot of these obstacles.

🤣🤣

You are welcome!

I honestly dont remember it was back in 2020, so i want to say less then 400

Thank you for checking in! And i am doing well. I got sick really bad last week again and was dealing with that. But im feeling much better now. It was also my 16th anniversary on Wednesday, so my wife and i have been spending a lot of time together.

So we run a 15x10 with 3.75 backspacing with a 3.5" lift and high clearance fenders. Depending on your lift is what kind of rubbing you will get. With the 38s and a 3.5 lift if we full lock the wheel we will rub on the frame some. But that is a lift issue, not a rim issue.

@@JeepTrailsandBarbells do you still have the stock drive shaft or are do they need to be upgraded after a certain lift height?

@dyakr4368 Yes, we still run stock drive shafts, i have replaced the boots on them, though. you are good up to 3.5" lift. After that, the boot for the bearing on the cv shaft starts to pinch and will tear over time and cause binding. You can get an aftermarket bearing kit for like 100 bucks to upgrade your current drive shafts to pervent that. But honestly, if you go over 3.5, you will be better off upgrading to the after-market ones that have u joints instead.

Thank you, and your dad sounds like a smart man lol. Glad you enjoyed the video.

3 years isn't bad for the price, i have smacked mine on rocks many times and it has held up. With it siffing up the steering and being able to take a beating on the rocks, to me its 100% worth the money. And its is affordable compared to other companies at that.

They are extremely good for the price, will be glad you got them.

Yep, 14 years and some really good abuse over the last 3 years. But you know, a dana 30 is made of glass and cant handle anything bigger then a 35 😏🤣

Oh, for sure. I was going to go with yukon originally, but just a 4.56 R&P for the dana 44 was going to be almost 800. So 700 for both front and rear and the install kits is an absolute win.

You are welcome. They weren't too bad. I could have kept running them, to be honest. But since i was already going to be striping the front end down, i changed them out.

@@JeepTrailsandBarbells Cool, Thanks. Nice to know there good quality.

@robertcouse3961 they really are, and for 130 its hard to beat. If i didn't think they were worth it i wouldn't be using them again. But im glad this was helpful to you.

It sure does

The location of the trails we were on or, or where i live?

@@JeepTrailsandBarbells where you live. I just moved to the Friendswood area and saw the grey Jeep Gladiator in the video. I have a 2023 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Diesel with tons and 40s. Looking for people to wheel with. I like to go to Moab and Colorado (at least one big trip a year) but trying to find people local. They directed me to your channel.

@jackboeker83 i live about 20 minutes from Friendswood, i used to live off of Blackhawk in Friendswood. I am very familiar with the area. We also normally try and do 1 big trip a year as well. we always welcome anyone who would like to wheel with us, we were talking about either going to hot springs or Missouri. But we want to take a trip to Tennessee and go hit them trails as well. But we haven't got anything on the books yet for this year.

@@JeepTrailsandBarbells do you post those trips on any particular website?

@jackboeker83 No, i only post on UA-cam. I have videos on this channel from our last trip to Missouri and Arkansas, along with other trips we have done. But if you like country music and two stepping, we are going to buck wild this Friday if you would like to meet up, we can meet and hang out to get to know each other and maybe plan a trip to go wheeling.

To be honest, im not 100% sure. I woke up and was going to work and noticed a small puddle under the diff. And the fluid was coming from the center of the cover. When the teeth broke off it shot some threw the diff cover. That's the only reason i knew something was wrong to be honest lol. I think it might have just been a faulty cast on the pinion because we have abused the 5.13s way more than the 4.56 that broke. Sometimes, you just get weak parts from the factory.

And yes i do agree everything is a learning experience. You can get upset, or figure out why and how to fix the issue.

You hit that nail right on the head!

33x12.50

It was under warranty, so he took it back to the dealership and they said the fork that slid the ring onto the stub shaft broke, so they replaced it for him free of charge because warranty covered it. But if it ever happens again, he will be doing the delete kit with RCV axles.

You are welcome!

We still have the dana 30 as well, even now with 38s. I do think a locker would be bad news for it though lol.

@@JeepTrailsandBarbells big difference in price and how hard truetrac’s are on diffs. Research them when you get a chance

@@joerouth6255 i will check it out

Yeah she is! And thank you. It was a good day for sure.

🤣🤣

To he honest my jeep is so noisy as it is i didn't notice any noise at all from them. Ill tell you this, there is a brake in period, they will feel stiff, like when you hit uneven parts of thr road it will want to "pull you" but after about a month they brake in and are really amazing. I have had them for a year and a half now, daily driver and off-road rig, and have no issues at all with them. No wobble, no shaking, no alignment issues at all. I would buy them again for sure, and when my wifes jeep needs new ball joints ill be buying some for hers as well.

Thank you i appreciate that. I haven't had any issues at all with it. I also changed out my ball joints to the American iron ball joint deletes, so i dont have any wobble of any kind. For what i paid i cant complain, i have hit the tie rod on rocks many times wheeling as well and no issues at all even with the abuse.

It will rub the factory fenders a little at full flex with the wheel turns full locked. If you get high clearance fender, you won't ever have an issue. Also its not enough rubbing that caused any damage, just some noise from the tire hitting the plastic linners.

Not true, i have done it that way and never had any issues at all. Also with the IFS you can get stiffer shocks or springs and completely remove the front sway bar. Me and others have done that to our frontiers.

Sorry but on the Nissan Frontier it can not go in backwards. The bolt head contacts the sway bar I also have done enough to know. Agree to disagree I suppose @@JeepTrailsandBarbells

@tombellwood8036 Well, i have done it on both frontiers i had and never had an issue. Also, I removed a sway bar off one completely. I never had a problem with that either 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ So, I'm not really sure what to think, but oh well. I dont have them anymore to go back to check and see for myself if it does come in contact or not. So as you said we can disagree on this one, but i guess for others to be on the safe side to double check to make sure it wont cause any issues.

No it has never been a issue for me, i have taken it through some pretty tough trails and have never found it to be a issue.

@@JeepTrailsandBarbells ok sounds good!! Thanks!!

@@SkiddingF350 you are welcome

@@JeepTrailsandBarbells BTW, I watched one your welding videos. I have similar welder and it’s comforting to see someone really use it and trust the welds it produces. 💪💪

@SkiddingF350 thank you for watching, and yeah i put them to the test for sure lol. Its a good little welder for the price.

It can at times lol

He absolutely did.

I figured out the placement then marked it, then put the bushing and control arm in then i welded it up

This is the video of me replacing it, its not a how to, but i shows a lot.

@@JeepTrailsandBarbells thank you very much

@isaiahpena469 you are welcome. I'm glad this was helpful for you.
