Let me get this right... you were running Pritchett Canyon with a Dana 35C, I'm guessing 33's (what? on a Dana 35C), Trac-loc, and some Peyote? LOL

You are a glutton for punishment.

Hope the gods are easy on your wallet.

That was really cool of Moab Off-Road.

you guys are way too hard on the D35c.....I've run Pritchett with 33s on my D35c and had no problems (at least not with the D35!!)

I ran pritchett with a 35c and 31" 33's open front and rear.

Took 2 straps to do it but thats it.

Yeah, I ran it a couple of times with the 35C, no problems....I only changed rear axles out of peer pressure....

I've run it a few times with the D35.....always had a hole spare axle available (housing and all) though....I think they'll hold up OK under 33" tires and just a Tracklock. You lock them up and you're asking for problems....

I had a trip to Moab ended early due to broken spider gears like that. My own fault though, I was running 38.5 SX's on stock D30/D44 3.73's. :eek:

My last Moab trip was interrupted by this:

35 spline Dana 60 shaft broke (melted really) due to a bent spindle. :rolleyes:
