super 35

[Rawbrown]

and I say this with confidence... Yes it will hold up to that.
an axle truss will help strengthen the housing which would be your next weekest point. I do suggest a max tire size of 33". I would reduce that to 31"s if your real heavy on the stupid pedal all the time off road and you like to bounce through obsticles rather than finness...

with all this said what is the down fall of the d35 what breaks and how much torcher does i take to break it.if any one is familiar with the siera nevada's i do such trails as swamp lake,dusy ershim,coyote lake ect.will it hold up to that.

well... I will say for *my* money I am doing the 8.8 swap..... They can be had around here for $400.00 with disc breaks, 4.10 gears, and a pretty good traclock differential.... you figure about another $250.00 and you have a fully locked and geared axle for $650.00.....

"Pretty good track lock diferential" isnt all that great acording to my friend Ben at Jedi.com - he was more impressed with his d35 trashlock...

where are you getting a locker and gears and install kits for 250.00?
If you were planing on a lunchbox locker, then you will also need a non-tracklock carrier...

you do realize that there is more to the cost of the axle to swap it in properly - right? Possibile things that are needed on top of the housing:
Dif fluid
Rotors
Pads
Calipers
brake lines
paint
portioning valve
e-brake line adaptor
flange to yoke adaptor OR new driveshaft end...

Im not protecting the d35, and am actualy researching a Toy 8" and collecting pieces, but realize that your $400.00 price out the door is a little un realistic...

Why would you swap your D30 forr a 4 cylinder TJ axle?? (other than the 4:10's)

agreed - Low Pinion
= weaker ring gear
= lesss ground clearnace
= More driveshaft angle
