Stock jk axles or CRD60's when it broke?

Let's see, 6,000lb JK with 450hp Hemi, plus skinny pedal happy driver that hopped/wheelstanded the JK at the top of PSH on a pre-Production one off TJ D60 that was slapped together for SEMA 3 years ago was supposed to last after that?

I think they need an "expert" to go out and test all their equipment before It gets put to hard abuse...

....I could be that "expert"

So a crappy one off axle is to blame?

It sounds like it was a one off TJ axle put together for a show rig, and never dedigned for a vehicle of that weight and power.

not to mention, that jeep was rolled a few months ago. there is no way that that axle can be expected to stand up the the side load of a rollover without repercussions. you beat on your rig, and things will break.

6000lbs and 450hp should be nuff said on a dana 60 breaking...

Excellent. Now I'm getting the info I wanted to know. I was thinking it was a new CRD60. That's why I asked about it on this forum. Figured you guys might know. Thanks

A JK does not weigh 3 tons. Even with the hemi, axles tires. Maybe at the most 2.5t.

Try again. With 60's, a Hemi, larger tires and wheels and aftermarket bumpers they will be very close to 6000 lbs.

lol, okay..

I don't care how tough something is, under the right circumstances it will fail.

"nuff said"

i was there. it was a prototype CRD60. it used semi float axle shafts to keep the five lug rim. he also said it was a stock 44flange that the axle shaft bolted into.

 

[mbryson]

lol, okay..

Curious what you think a "normal" Wrangler weighs?

 

[Grim]

so ......is a dana 60 stronger than a dana 44......

I was there when it broke, got the whole thing on video, he was not pushing it hard at all, it just snapped!
