For those who dought the strength ( witch I dought any one here doe's ) a 14 bolt. A few weeks back I got the rear wedged bad, to the point that the tire looked like a 32" tire compressed. So I tried to throtle out forward when I did it lifted the driver side front and put all the weight of the Jeep on that rear tire and shaft.

Well after doing a few wheelie's on that axle I figured it would go bang but it didn't, Sean tried to back me out but we had to lift the rock off the tire, alot. And I was able to back out with some effort. If you stood on the rock you could bounce up and down on it.

This is the second time I poped the front up in the air on one side of an axle, so if your thinking a 30 spline 60 rear is good enough ask yourself can it get out of this

Fine, once I got it backed out I checked it over and it was fine. Iroks are very durable tire's, Ive ran them flat threw the rocks before I got my bead locks. This tire in that Pic was touching the inner rim near the center of the rim, thats how compressed it was.

very cool pic.  those Iroks look to be made of Play-Doh

14 bolt 30 splines is a little different than the 60's 30spline (Dana 44) shaft.

I love 14bolts.  Best part is you can do that with STOCK axles.  no 300m chromoly axles necessary

cool picture jason. 

i need to think about beadlocks someday myself

And in stock form it will be very tuff to break a 14bolt pinion shaft unlike some people do with a 60's

Look up spidr on Pirate.  He's the only guy I've ever heard of breaking a 14b pinion.  It took 2 SM465s, a V8 and 49" Iroks.

guaranteed it will take alot more abuse then a 60 pinion

Huge difference between a stock 30 spline 60 and a stock 30 spline 14 bolt. The 14 bolt stuff is 1 9/16" and the 60 is 1 3/8", plus the 14B has a deeper pressure angle over the dana stuff.
Yep this axle is all stock, pulled striaght from a junkyard truck and put into service, well minus the disc brake's.

Oh the pinion on a dana 60/70 is 1.125" 29 spline, the 14 bolt is 35 spline at 1.5", so that will solve any pinoin brakeage. Hey Miguel you paying attention

Yup, right now debating using a rear steer 14bolt or a rear steer 60 for the rear of the next buggy.
Holding me up is the fact I have a Detroit and 5.13 gears for the 60.  If I'd go 14 bolt I'd have to get ($$$) the gears and probably lincoln lock it.  Thats why I havent made up my mind yet.

Might wait it out a little longer, the cut 14bolt Jason has most likely not going anywhere right....
