That's funny, I've never seen one... What roads and trails are these on?
I agree they are undersized for the 4.0L TJ, but they certainly don't
"litter the roads and trails".

Re: Differential bearing gone bad
Earle,
IMHO, the d35 is just fine if you have the 2.5L, provided you don't get
carried away with tire size. That's the arrangement I have (2.5L, 5spd, d35
4.56 31" tires) and it climbs hills and rocks and pulls me through mud just
fine. I've surprised a few people with it on the trail. :-)
I do believe, though, that the 4.0L ought to have a d44 behind it.

Hi Earle,
Didn't you also tell of a loose pinion nut, that you just tighten
and refilled with oil and drove on for many miles without a problem?
