I'd say that's true for a lot of 2wd vehicles that you want to convert to 4wd, especially if its an IFS vehicle, but there are TONS of 4wd cherokees in the junkyards. You don't need anything but some decent sockets and wrenches to convert an XJ and I bet it could be done for under $300.

Depends one what you are building the rig for.

Good point.  I assume in that condition, it's going to be a trail rig only.  If it's a street driver and a trail "TIP TOE" rig, a D30 might last a few rides.   :D :D

If you are going to make it 4x4, then you might as well make it strong enough to actually wheel and have some fun.  Then a D44 minimum.

ya know some of us have to do it on the cheap... we cant slap brand new Rock Jock 60's in a rig.... we do what we can afford.. please dont bash others for what they can afford... that is freakin rude... and I have a D30 front.. guess i am wrong too...

WTF!  Come on Mike, nobody said that.  If you have one already, it's a different story.  If somebody gave you one, that's cool too.  I said if I am going to wheel it, and it needs an axle, I would not put a Dana 30 in it. 

True, not everyone can throw in a 44 or 60 right of the bat, but I think what they're getting at is not that the D30 or whatever is horrible or bashing on people for having them. Its more like if you're gonna make a 4x4 out of a 2wd, at least put something bigger in since you're gonna be doing custom mods anyway.

Yep.





so did i read that wrong then... and there isnt anything wrong with a D30... opinions are like asshole everyone has one and they all stink...

I have a D30 so {nln} off






But that is because it came with it.  If I had a choice and was starting from scratch, it would not have Dana Turdy.
