Even if it is/was a 10-bolt, it probably wouldn’t be any stronger.
I would take that bet that the 8.5" 10 bolt is stronger than the D - 35 ...

I like it better than any JK or JL 4 door. A good set of ECGS axles and that is the best Wrangler available for that money.
They've got a lot more in it, if it was all done right, than the cost to build it.
If I had the cash, I'd be on the way tonight to get it. I have 2 littles that would be a heck of a lot easier to get in. Swap in the 44's and most of the stuff out of my TJ and I'd be set.Yea, it just comes down finding someone willing to buy the rig, put D60s (or similar) axles in, buy 40s, buy new wheels, and then have a need for the back doors. There's someone out there.

If that is a Dana 35, I would think (hope) that they at least put the Super 35 kit in it.
They have obviously spent a ton of $$$ elsewhere so why skimp on that?
These are my unfortunate TJ pics.
Still got a bunch of cleaning and have to replace the starter too. Luckily no water in the oil or transmission!!!

I don't think I would. I haven't broken a stock 35 axle, but I've seen several 10 bolt axles (c-clips) broken, and I’ve seen some quarter panels damaged from that.
Consider checking your diffs just to be safe (unless you know they hold up well to this stuff). My rig arrived to me with a milkshake in the front housing.
A wrecked Rubihara (for parts). Now that's unfortunate.

Maybe they should find one of their guys that actually knows anything about TJs to make the video then.
