Anyone have experience with Trail-Gear Dirty 30's

Guess i over looked a thread about this topic already

TG says theirs broke at 8500ft lbs at 30 degrees

Longs say 8900 ft lbs at 40 degrees.

both have lifetime guarentees but personaly I'd rather spend the extra 80-100 bucks on Longs and spend my money with a local business.

yup been reading the previous threads and longs still seem a lot better.

Broke some on the longfield axle machine. Tg really break @ 6200 foot lbs.

why doesnt that suprise me.

was that at 30 degrees like they claim or at 40 degrees?

TG video shows them testing at 35* but they advertise at 30*. The set Longfield tested was at 35* and the Dirty 30s are not as strong as TG is advertising.

I'd go with Bobby's birfs, his customer service is second to none. Las year he swapped out one of my 30 splines in the wee hours of the night, keeping a weekend trip from being ruined by broke parts. Thanks again Bobby :awesomework:

I say go with Bobbys shafts i have tested them and done some harsh things to them and they are still working great.
shhhh dont tell tested them with my 44's ran them for about a month did front burns everywhere, even did a few bront burns on cement and had the 44's smoking but i dont recomend doing all that. Just wanted some folks to know Bobby's shafts are bad ass, he is a hell cool guy, and local. :011:

Buy from Bobby, He's a cool guy, his product is better and you would be supporting the local economy.

Installed my Longs today!

I'm sure it's an optical delusion, but the placement of your hand in the background gives an artificial perspective to the size of the Longs. They look like 40 splines.
