[QUOTE="HRDROKN, post: 439576, member: 21248"] I wheeled my first CJ7 with the stock D30, 4.10 gears and a tall 33x12.50 Swamper TSL (think they were closer to 34" tall) with a Powerlok LSD till the day I sold it. That era D30 had manual locking hubs and that proved to be the weak link and I was good with that.... 5 bolts and I was up and running. I also believe that the LSD had a bit to do with the axle surviving as it's a bit softer and forgiving on the axle shafts. Running a NP435 manual I had plenty of torque going to her and wheeled all the big trails.... just slow. [/QUOTE]
