A Jeep is a jeep is a jeep is a jeep........ If they were REALLY serious about that vehicle being sturdy, why put the whimpy Dana 44 on a vehicle with 37's? Get down to it and put Dana 60's on there if they are SERIOUS.

Jeep has always made things that BREAK. Look at the old CJ.... Dana 20 rear end? That POS was just begging to blow with larger tires over stock!

I have NEVER had a Toyota break and leave me stranded off road -ever.

Hard to break anything when the largest tire you run in 33"

I don't see a problem running a D44 with 37" tires if you upgrade to aftermarket shafts. Dana 60 IMHO would be overkill for 37" tires.
Did Toyota ever put axles in the same strength category as the D60?

fj cruiser rear axles are nothing to brag about.. They are breaking.
