Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
Bill (or anyone else with axle breakage experience/knowledge),
In those pics from the link you posted, I noticed a lot of the jeeps
had bars or branches strapped to the wheel with the broken axle,
likely in order to hold it "in" to the vehicle and not let it slide on
out of the axle carrier tube. My question: Is this some sort of "trail
fix" for a broken axle for when you don't have a replacement axleshaft
on hand, that will possibly allow you to limp the vehicle out? Or is
this just a piece in the process of forcing the axle/a new axle INTO
the carrier when replacing/repairing the breakage?
What IS a good trail fix for this sort of problem? IS there any way to
"fix" this temporarily for those of us who don't carry spare
axleshafts? I haven't had this sort of problem, thank goodness, but it
would be nice to know how best to handle it BEFORE it becomes an
issue...

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
The tree trunk is there to hold the axle in so you can limp it back to camp
(or where-ever). You probably want to put your spare on so as not to ruin
your good tire. Also have your co-pilot pure oil on periodically. On the
D35, that's all you can do if you don't have a spare axle.

Re: 4.56 gears in a Dana 30 front
Ok, that's kinda what I thought. You mention, though, that this is all
you can do with a D35 if you don't have a spare axle...I actually have
a 44 in the rear, 30 in the front. Are there other options for my
setup, should I ever break one of these axles, and not have a spare
w/me?
Thanks!

you can do with a D35 if you don't have a spare axle...I actually have
a 44 in the rear, 30 in the front. Are there other options for my
setup, should I ever break one of these axles, and not have a spare
w/me?
Thanks!
