The thing that stinks is I can't just get a TT and a BL. I would need gears, tires and a SYE. But I'm not gonna put money into that Dana 35 so then I'd need a Dana 44

Why wouldn't you put money into a Dana 35? I know that the interwebs says that the Dana 35 is a disaster waiting to happen, but if it was truly that fragile of an axle we'd see Jeeps broke down all over the place, just sitting next to the road waiting for the circling vultures to land. Can you bust one? Sure. Anything can break with enough HP and torque applied at the wrong time. Dana 44's are expensive and hard to come by around here, so most of the folks run with the girl they brought to the party. That's a Dana 35. Some are upgraded with better axles and lockers. Most aren't. The Dana 35's that get broken seem to belong to the kids who believe the solution to any problem lies under their right foot. Send a note off to some of the locker manufacturers and ask them what they think of locking a Dana 35. Send a note off to Novak and ask them what they think of the Dana 35 and engine upgrades. You might be surprised. You may discover that it works just fine for the type of wheeling that you do and your driving style. Of course, you may also discover that it's a bomb waiting to go off as well.
