This ^^^^
Try not to take the bantering to seriously because that's all it really is. I kid you not, you'd still hear the same thing in person only - it might come off a bit differently especially after a beer or two

Just saw this thread. I lowered my price on the axles to 800 OBO. Wasnt trying to make a profit. I really just didnt know what a fair price was. I wasnt on wayalife when I built up the 30 otherwise I never would have spent a dime on it.

Looks like I missed the fun but I see my picture was added for me
The only thing I will add is we were with several of the other east coast crew at RC and we were far from beating on the Jeep when this happened. It was a very controlled climb and this was a result of a torque load and not a shock load. We were actually hooked up via winch (cozdude's) and were only providing a bit of an assist so the winch didn't have to work so hard.
The Jeep has 35" AT tires. ...and it WAS NOT covered under warranty.

Sorry for the mess that went on in your thread. I still stand by the fact that for the right buyer, you can get $800 for it. That buyer will be someone who blew out his existing D30 and can't afford to upgrade right now. If you're patient, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get that much.

I was in that position once with my '07 and would have grabbed any axle I could have afforded at the time. With my '14 I tossed in a PR44 as soon as I had the money. I probably overreacted with the '14 JKUR. I probably could have gone a long time on the Rubicon 44.

For what it's worth I sold my factory D30 with 4:10, Synergy sleeves, gussets, and BJ's for $600 to a guy who needed on and couldn't afford a PR44 or similar

I would be asking Lower but it has Rcvs so hopefully I can get 800.
Even though I had issues with the RCVs I agree. I paid over $400 to get the parts to repair mine and new they are MUCH more. While I do not believe they are worth the added cost for strength, I do like how smoothly they operate. I could see where someone who just wants to pull the 4WD lever and not worry about a mixed snow/paved road in the winter would want them. Honestly, I still like them for this myself.

Competly agree. I got them again in my PR44 because I love how smooth they operate. Not for strength.
