tonybolton said:So....if i dont want to keep being dumb(even though its been working for nearly a year), what other joint/option do i have in a rig driven to/from the trail at 70mph for 45 min. each way? ???
What ^^ said.... I don't believe it hurts to run a needless joint when you have manual lockouts and they are unlocked while driving on the highway....so I'm not really sure what the driving part is that you're worried about.TBItoy said:Does your Waggy 44 not have locking hubs? Or do you just drive with your hubs locked in all the time? ???

TacomaJD said:I have a waggy D44 in my SAS'd Tacoma on 36" TSL's and recently upgraded to Yukon 4340 shafts and Yukon Superjoints. I think it's pretty dumb to put Spicer 760X joints in a front end if you're gonna spend the money on Yukon 4340 chromoly shafts. Soon as that 760x u-joint breaks, guess what happens, the ears on both the inner and outter shafts are rurnt. If you break a Yukon Superjoint, they will replace whatever breaks if the shafts and joints were bought new and you're the original owner of the axles/joints. 760x joints are good, and only about $30 ea, but for $150 ea you can have stronger Yukon Superjoints, helluva warranty, and peice of mind to beat on your **** hard! Kinda like ending up spending a dollar over time when you were trying to save a dime from the start.
ibrokeit said:This x100. You WILL break 760x joints. Period. And when the joint lets go, you just ruined an inner and an outer shaft.
Don't ask me how I know. Twice.
