WTF? Guy sounds like a dickhead. He probably bought a D60 and wants to justify his purchase by belittling everyone who doesn't have one. Lots of things can break on a Jeep depending on how you use it, etc, but there's a lot of variables. I don't think you need to go buy a new axle just cause this dude told you too.

EDIT: Correction.....he's a KJ owner. Do they even have Dana 60s for those?

He was probably referring to spinning the tubes/breaking the plug welds.
It can happen, but a D30 44 60 etc isn't going to make a difference if it happens.
 
LOL, even 60's break if you do yourself some "good" wheeling. Only way you're going to find out is by doing it yourself. Everyone's rig and driving style is different. What defines "good" wheeling is just getting out there and doing it with close friends and meeting new people, trying things as you progress and so on.

Idk if the KJ is a unibody or not but I have seen some XJs (which are unibody) have the body twist or flex after wheeling pretty good and then fenders don't line up, doors won't open or close, hood won't line up. Etc. Usually it took a while though. It wasn't something that happened after one wheeling event. It would also happen faster or be a lot worse if the doors were off when wheeling.
 
I am a big believer of wheel what you got till it breaks. The reason why I haven't gotten a new axle... is hasn't broken.

umm..... a kj owner

damn I've been wheeling on D44's since all this time!

next time you see that guy hand him a roll of toilet paper cause he's full of shit.

you can do plenty of "good wheelin" with a stock rig, upgrades allow you to do it with a little more confidence and allows you to pick more challenging obstacles.
