This was my D35 and the reason I no longer run one. This happened on Banner in the lower play area. What you don't see and realize here is that when it happened it was daylight and about -10. When we finally got most of the pieces out and it back together it was dark and about -30. Not one of the funnest times.

Something positive for you though. that axle shaft was used in conjunction with a YJ brake drum to make a stand for my mini vise and now my bench grinder.

Weeeeeelllll.... That sucks. Too bad we couldn't keep Matt's D44 club internal. I really wish i had the extra cash when he needed it.

I took 1 or 2 of those pics and remember that day pretty well. Mel has an excellent point and the only thing I have to add to that is that it's not IF your Dana 35 breaks, it's WHEN you Dana 35 breaks...

Death, taxes and a D35 breaking things that will happen!

And the biggest issue is the that notch on the end for the c-clip. If my D44 snaps I can limp it off the trail since I'm locked. with the D35 c-clip axle there is nothing to hold it in if it breaks.
