dana 35

Anyone ever swap axles between a Rubicon and Sport and put the Dana 30/d35s in the rubicon? I have access to a rubicon and the owner doesn't care about lockers and Dana 44. I have a sport and would love to do a direct swap. Anyone have experience doing this type of trade and making both jeeps run...

Hello everyone. I own 2 TJs. One manual and one automatic. I recently swapped the transmissions between the 2 and just realized that they were geared differently. Now, I want to swap the gears also. Both have Dana 35s for rear differentials. I’ve been dreading it based on all I’ve seen regarding...

Hey everybody, 1998 TJ Sahara 4.0 5speed, Dana 30 front, Dana 35 rear, 3.76 ratio? I opened up my rear diff today to change the fluid. This is what I found. Video is attached below. My question is what causes this and how do I go about replacing the pinion gear? If I pull on the wheels, the...

Hello, I am new to the Jeep world having bought my first jeep in August last year. I love driving it and use it any chance i get being its not my daily driver. But like most i get the urge to mod and upgrade it. So, with that being said I have have wanted to change the gear ratio since i have...

Had a crazy whine in the rear end and with 160k plus miles I assumed it was due for bearings. When the ring and pinion came out it was obvious theY were shot along with the spider gears. Not planning a lift so my plan is to just replace the Dana 35-373 gears. When they showed up the ring gear is...

Hello! I recently came across a Jeep I found very interesting and took for a test drive. It was a 1999 Wrangler SE with a V8 Hemi motor. The thing that concerns me is that it still has the original axels that came with the 2.5L, the Dana 30 and 35s. Will this be a significant problem? Will those...

Pulled my rear Dana 35 when I did an engine swap to upgrade. Jeep has about 130k on the clock. No issues with the rear end at all. Just doing a V8 so I upgraded my rear axle instead of constantly snapping shafts. Axle is complete, still has all the fluids in it. I'm guessing the PO serviced it at...

I have a reasonably stock 1998 TJ 2.4L that has a 4 inch lift, and the 29inch tires that I got with it feel like I'm disgracing it, so I've been looking at upgrading. Everything is on a budget, but I'm not trying to make stupid mistakes and cut corners that could come back to bite me, so I've...

Ox, ARB, Eaton E Locker, Grizzly Zip, and a few more lockers are all available for Dana 35s with 27 splines. I get that 30 spline axles would obviously be stronger than 27 splines all else the same. What are the practical limits of a 27 spline axle? They can’t all just snap instantly if...

I'm trying to find Dana 30 and Dana 35 axle housings. Surprisingly, Davey's Jeeps doesn't carry just the housings. Any recommendations on where to find them besides craigslist and eBay?

Bought my Jeep with 33’s and a Dana 35 rear axle with 4.56 gears. I’m starting to do some hairy trails and want to put lockers in. If I upgrade my Dana 35 to a super 35, can I keep my same 4.56 gears I have? Also how do I check to see if the previous owner already upgraded the axle when they did...

Currently regearing my Dana 35, and inside it are these o-ring things just outboard of where the carrier bearings and shims go on both sides. I tried to pull one out and it tore, it feels like they're made of RTV. I didn't see anything mentioned in the FSM about seals like this. Does anybody...

I have a 6 speed 2005 Jeep tj running 35inch tires with a dana 30 in the front and dana 35 in rear 3.07 current axle ratio. I do mostly highway driving, but do hit the trail when i can. i also live in Canada so the winters often give me a 4x4 playground. What would i need to regear to 4.56 and...

New member here and I have a couple of questions concerning my Jeep's rear axle. Background: My Jeep is a 2001 TJ Sport with the Dana 35 rear. It has only 49,000 miles on it. I am running 32" tires and only do light off roading on sandy beaches. I occasionally will pull someone out when...

Like the post says. What mods are required to fit a Dana 44 from an XJ into a TJ? Also what years are the best to start with?

WTB build parts for a HD build of the Dana 30 and Dana 35 axle. DELETE Looking for the following Aftermarket carriers for both the 30 and 35 ARB or equivilant locker for both the 30 and 35 Chromoly axles 4:10 ring and pinion gears

Does anyone know if I have this seal installed correctly? This is a Dana 35 on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ. This started as a brake job and then morphed into a bunch of work on the rear axle. When I removed the old brake drum on the drivers side I found the brakes coated in oil. I replaced the...

Please see the video. I honestly don't know if these gears are "done". Could use some advice. If I can, my goal is to leave them as is and just keep driving the jeep. What are the pros/cons of that plan? Also, am I correct, these are the spider gears, right? Info: 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport...

Hi folks! I just became the proud owner of a new-to-me 2005 Wrangler Willy's edition. It doesn't have the sticker package (I checked the option sheet, it was spec'd without it), but it does have the camo seats. Unfortunately, the green soft top was in disrepair, so that's gone on my list of...

I have a 2006 TJ 4.0 automatic trans. I also have a 3.25 lift with 33x12.5 tires. I use this Jeep as a daily driver and would like to have somewhat good gas mileage but I like to have a little bit of power. When I go up the mountain, the Jeep will change gears and then bog down really hard to...
