just think of all the models out there running that axle on the trails, will they all just break at once when they find out?? 
So what is on their desirable list now?? |

Some years of D60's,'75-'79 Chevy low-pinion D44's(no mention of the Ford HP44 though So what is on their desirable list now??  ,nothing better then 1/2" axle tubes,and high pinion ),later model year Wagoneer D44's,and that's about it,all others pretty much on there less then desireable list.Like I said I took it with a grain of salt.

Heck, whoever said the 8.25 was near as strong as a D60? Its plenty strong enough for our Libertys. If we could run 35" tires then there may be issues but thats not the weak point of a liberty. Who cares what they say.

Peterson's people are hardly experts, for the most part. A lot of their info has been flat-out wrong over the years. Yeah, an 8.25 isn't a D80. But it is decent for what it does. I have wheeled a dozen different rigs over the years, and never used lower than 4.56 gears. The average was probably around a 3.73. And I think that would probably be the same for at least 90% of all 'wheelers out there. BIG grain of salt. |

Wow, if they don't like the 8.25, I wonder what they said about the D35?

Yeah, and my buddy has one in his '93 XJ, has taken it all over creation, and not had a lick of trouble.
What I am saying is that if they did not like the 8.25, they must have HATED the D35 (at least on paper)!!!
