It's hard to compare Zach, I'm sure the diffs themselves are significantly stronger than the D30 and D44 arrangement. I'm also running 38.5 swampers compared to 35 claws that I was running before. Every situation I've broken something has been where I've put it in a really bad position and just kept driving knowing it would probably break. In terms of choosing between D60 and Patrol diffs again, I'd probably go with the Patrol, as the diffs themselves only cost me $2k, locked and with 4.6s in them. Even if I went to GU I'd probably have paid a couple of grand more for the same thing, whereas D60 would be 4x that just for the units.
As I said further up, I'm going to try to take as many second hand factory CVs and axles as I can get my hands on for TTC, but it's unlikely the new tracks there will be as difficult as the stuff I was driving when I broke the last 2 CVs, so hoping not to grenade more than one on each side
Tony, I didn't realise it was you. As I said earlier I'm a little disappointed that the CVs didn't hold up quite as much as I'd have liked them to, but I suppose everything is going to break if you put enough strain on it. When I've got a bit more $$ after TT I'm definately going to look into something stronger. If you guys have any product that you think is stronger I'm all ears
The above reply was made before we had taken delivery of any GQ CVs so we never realised how small the stub shaft was.
