dana 35

Recently upgraded my project TJ rear Dana 35 to disc brakes, and have no need for drums anymore. Drums, Brake Pads, and associated hardware (springs, etc) are all new (bought last year) - They have around 100 miles maximum on them. Included are the 2 backing plates, 2 new drums, and 2 pads...

The Dana 35 in my TJ is starting to wear out so I started to look into replacement options before it blows up. I did some research on the forums and had decided a Ford 8.8 from an Explorer would be a good swap. I figured 8.8's are easy to find, cheapish to buy and have tons of aftermarket support...

I'm surprised an article like this didn't already exist on the site, especially given the number of people who ask how to identify which axles they have on their Jeep Wrangler TJ. The goal here is to give future TJ owners and new TJ owners a guide on how to identify which axles they have under...

What's the lowest gear you can put in a 35 ? Without changing carrier

Looking at a used Dana 44 to swap into my 1998 TJ. The 44 is from a 2004 and was equipped with disc brakes. However it doesn't look like any of the brake parts come with the axle. My question is will the drum brakes from my current Dana 35C fit on the disc brake 44. I have found info that...

I have a 2000 tj with 2.5. Dana 30 up front and dana 35 rear. best I can tell they are 3.73. I am going to a 4.56 will there be any carrier issues? Thanks

Like the title says. Any theories? It would be exceptional if legitimate proof was provided. Ex being; engineers write up or something similar. But theories are welcome. A lot on here about how the TJ 44 isn't worth the swap (expense:strength return) which I agree with considering only gen 1's...

Hi all, I've been lurking in the shadows here for the past few weeks, and trying to take stock in the quality of parts that are installed on my TJ that I picked up last August. To start out with, I bought a 04 5 spd Manual 4.0l Sport with 64k on the clock that looks to have a Rancho 3.5...

The factory Dana 35 rear axle found in most TJ Wranglers is a little on the light side, and if you run larger-than-stock tires, you’re likely looking at an eventual failure. If you want to turn really big tires, wheel abusively, or push gobs of power into your rear axle, you’ll probably want to...

I know this has been posted before but every situation is different. Here are the Jeep's details. 2000 TJ I6 3 spd Automatic 33" tires Dana 30 / Dana 35 3.07 This is my daily driver in the summer and I drive on the highway to work. As for off road, I don't do it that often but would like the...

While this write-up takes place on a Dana 30 front axle, the procedure should be nearly identical for a Dana 35 or Dana 44 axle as well. If you're mechanically inclined this isn't that bad of a job in all honesty. Just take your time, be patient and take breaks when needed (it always helps to...

I have had CJ2a’s, Cj-5 ,Cj-7, YJ’s, a Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee’s – I wanted to buy a Rubicon but could not pass this 2001 TJ up. Current situation: I just picked up a 2001 TJ 45k 6cy 3in lift, 31in micky thompsons and lots of extras – winch, bumpers, spare tire rack, gas cans, CB, Li-lift...
