40s are fine on Rubicon axles, that's how you justify the upgrades to 60's once they break.
40s on stock axles seems like the automotive equivalent of skipping legs day.
That’s why you get aftermarket housings and the best parts available to build those housings and don’t run junk rubi axles 🤷🏻♂️
The key that everyone needs to know and understand is that no matter what you run. You are going to break something and you need to be more prepared for the down time then you do for the good time. I wheeled a sport with Dana 35s on 37s. And did fine for a long time. And I now own a gladiator with 44s on 37s. Everyone’s goal is to have an everyday they can take off road, But the key is have the money in the bank and be prepared. Upgrades are 30% of the battle . Maintenance is the rest.
Not if u build it well to start with and don't have drive it like it's made of glass .
You can run 40s on Dana 44s, as long as you drive it like a grandma off-road.
Thanks for the insight, I’m currently debating upgrading from 37’s to 40’s on my D44 Rubicon (still debating)
I want to step up to 40s too. But like you said….. I’m working on beefing up my axles. Truss, gussets, sleeves and chromoly shafts.
Why not just go tons skip all the wasted money ?
I’ve seen heavy jks wheel triple black diamond trails with front 44s and rcvs for years without problems. Basically the rear takes the brunt of the work so as long as you got a 60 rear your fine. HP 44s came factory in one ton trucks back in the 70s with big blocks under the hood too!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
None of what you mentioned is the same as running heavy 40+ tires on a locked rig off-road . I'm also curious what 1ton trucks came with d44s the Ford 350 had Dana 60s as early as 77 I have a 79 housing from a one . The f 250 back then used the little d44 as a base axle and if you expected to use it they offered the snow fighter package that upgraded to a d60 .
I don’t think rcv would offer a lifetime warranty on my Dana 44 shafts for breakage up to a 40inch tire if it was going to fail often. I mean if your running stickies or pushing v8 power then I would definitely start with a 60 but built 44s can be stout packages.
I’m sorry man, it’s a bad decision. When I was in MidSouth Jeeps, one of our guys ran 40s on upgraded Dana44s. He wheeled like you and was a weekend warrior. He broke in hawk pride and was a pain to get it back to the trailer parking. As you wheel more, you’re going to learn you’ll need a variety of different wheeling styles and one day you’ll need to push it and it’ll fail. Please be careful!
I’ve beat on these axles a few times with zero issues. It’s also not a factory 44 it’s a Currie Rock Jock 44, RCV shafts, 5.13 gears, ARB air locker, Teraflex ball joints, Reid racing knuckles basically the best you can buy Dana 44 so I’m not worried about it breaking I’m pretty confident in it
I must be doing something wrong with my 08 rubicon with 5:38 gears. I use it almost everyday in the Alberta muskeg off-road, and have 39.5 iroks.
Nothing has broken so far, but it has only been ten year's. I even ran some 38x15.50r 15 for a couple years, without problems. Maybe I need to learn how to break them so I can upgrade. I do have chrome moly axkes and tubes, but that's it.
It all depends on how you drive or what kind of obstacles you do.
I’ve been mall crawling mine on 40’s for years no issues
That’s different than wheeling. 🙄
How do they hold up going over crosswalks and speed bumps? Any issues?
Why even put that much stress on junk just look cool in wallmart Parking lot?
it's not like we see your rig thank u actually play or r cool .
Would u have a picture? Clearance issues?
Great video. I understand your point.
Thank you 🙌🏻
Lol 😆 🤣 go 4 it but don't be surprised when it breaks. Stock 44s not even good on 37s . Stock gears underpowered 3.8 might help it live.
happy on my little 35's.
Convert them to full float axles your fine.
What if I’m not going off road and just want the look of the 40s
Can i run stock Dana 44s or 30s?
Yes. That's what Elevated Vehicles runs on his RUclips channel
I run a ford hp44 with spool, 5.13 and rcv shafts with my steel Beadlocks and 37s. I think I wanna bump up to 40s this go around. I’m skeptical but I really beat the shit out of my rig now and it’s never failed. Hmmmm
Mine has yet to break on this set up
In Colorado trails are rated 1-10 typical trails that start to require a 40 would be 9 and up ...if you're on a 9 and up trail you're not going to be able soft pedal and crawl everything so unless you like winching you're going to have have the beef to hold the drivetrain together . If you can. Crawl everything then you're running 8 and under and have no use for 40s to begin with and are built for looks .
Hasn’t broke yet and we’ve been taking it on buggy trails 🤷🏻♂️
@@ROCKY_TV Carnage canyon , Boulder canyon , independence / patriot , die trying ... ?
Nice Jeep. What did you go with for your steering system? I actually meant your steering rods. They don't look like stock ones.
Nothing so far. Planning on PSC in the future
Is that the quarry at Rausch? Fun place to play. Usually our lunch stop.
Yeah, it’s a cool spot
What fender are those
Hey man! I'm thinking about 40-42" on my mask crawl NEVER off road 21 JL (upgraded suspension parts, hd ball joints) You think that's good? There's only 20lbs between my 37 and the 42 I want
Hello again... so - what has happened after almost 2 years on 40's /Currie 44?
Still going strong
cool. I only had 1 flange issue when I was on a stock 35/44 4.10 with 37's for 2 yrs. Now I'm PR44/Fusion 60, going to 40's in April.
My wheeling style is the first one...
There is the correct way to build a offroad vehicle and the wrong way to build one...sure they both will work ... but for how long.
Seems like for a while 🤷🏻♂️ if it breaks it breaks I’ll just build it again.
@@ROCKY_TV I just dont like being a burden on other people when my jeep would eat a axle or something..... thats why I put the 60s with the 40 spline shafts in it
100% correct.
So many experts out there. Wheel what you got fix/upgrade when it breaks! Like dewy the dumb a$$ from CO mallcrawlers. Bro literally doesn't air down and drives a stock Jeep. He's out here giving advice on axles lmao 🤣
What lol
@@ROCKY_TV Just saying the guy that commented from the Colorado mall crawlers channel is an idiot. If you watch his channel you'll see what I mean lol.
Hi amigo. You tires wiht separadoresr 1.5"
What wheel offset are you runnng?
Are you running spacers?
Do you have any rubbing issues?
No need to run 40’s on a dana 44. Now uh days rubicon 44 axles are worth and easy 2500$ or even 3500-4 if you wanna wait. That pays for a big portion of axles upgrades. It’s when your going from a dana 30 to dana 60 u are f%*ked and have to drain bank account…
Any updates for 2023?
Still running strong. Just got back a few months ago from a trip from MD to TN wheeled windrock and drove all the way back no issues.
Why not? Been running 40's on my stock D30's for over a year absolutely no issues. BUT, it's strictly a street ride 😆
