Why does tire spin and throttle always equate to dipshit driving?

How would you get over an obstacle that consist of an incline angled smooth rock covered in mud and water after attempting to crawl it at low speed only to result in all four tires spinning and you not making any progress?
Because only dipshits wheel where you have to do that. That's why.

Goodness, you all are a lively bunch, lol...

I think I am down to the Currie 60 or the ECGS 489 Dana 44...I think

I did. Barely any activity over there anymore. Like a ghost town compared to how it used to be...
Oh yeah? I guess I am not surprised. Vertical Scope (the corporation that bought all the major forums including the other Jeep forums) managed to ruin all these once good forums with their bullshit.

Once upon a time that place was good for a phenomenal ass chewing 🤣

That’s a fact. I used to lurk there to read, gain information and watch the show that a lot of the threads would turn into...

i looked at ECGS, and found quite a few not so happy reviews. isn't the ECGS Dana 44 just a stubby JK axle with TJ C's or ends?

we can get jk rear axles for 300$ around here.
and we got small racing outfits all over the state. i had quotes to cut down a JK axle to 60.5" for 300$. the issue then becomes who's got shafts to fit it?
ECGS might.

Could you point me to some? I'm considering buying the 489 and I haven't seen much negative feedback. I would like to read other perspectives and opinions.

AFAIK the ECGS 489 is a JK Dana44 center with the larger ring gear, and the rest is theirs. Here's the page for their 30spline version. They also make a 35 spline version, but only offer OX lockers with that package.
 

You made me look. Thanks. Pirate 4x4 was in last place of my group of fav forums (still following motorcycle stuff). I started reading there just before the forum was sold. Admittedly, I hung out in the basement just to laugh at the posts that are like some we have seen in this thread. It got deathly quiet over there after Irate 4x4 was started, so I started reading Irate. Lately, I haven't looked much at either one. Tonight's evaluation finds that it seems like the big kids have taken over Irate with their snarky talk. Then I looked at Pirate and found this post"

"Not everybody, don't say everybody. Only the losers moved over there. If they have a problem with me saying that, they can come back and tell me :p"

Oh hell, he might mean me! I need to straighten my act out. :) Thanks goodness my login still works. Moves me out of the loser category. Anyway, I checked memberships. Pirate shows ~38,000. Irate shows ~3600. You win (this time).
