Jim,
If you look back through most of these fellas older posts Im sure that youll find them bashing on the ttb. Maybe not directly at one individual, more like all of us using a ttb lol. Sorry, but when I read cocky little punks patting themselves on the back and contradicting themselves I find it hard to bite my tongue and not say anything. Read through my old posts/messages. People who give respect, get respect. When someone has a question and I might be able to help I try to answer them without making myself sound like a douche. Unfortunately I havent always gotten the same respect back. I dont go crying to the teacher though. Sniff sniff boo hoo.
(plum forgive me please)
personally, i could not justify giving up a d35 to a d44 solid. provided i had a good supply of d35 parts that was cost effective. as the d35 ages though its tough to hold the opinion. the ttb 44 is still available in my shopping areas so going to that is not hard to do and justify to some extent.
i run the ttb to the limit for my style of use and learned a great deal developing and beefing it to my goals. likely i will have a ttb rbv again similar to the build i started years ago just much stronger. ttb requires certain skills and compromises that are not necessarily easily learned when using it for mid to hi level trail work and using it primarily as a street driven vehicle. keeping the alignment with soft springs takes some work.
our wheeling styles and areas we wheel vary wildly to say the least. speaking in the general the strength difference is not justifiable to myself over the handling of the ttb for STOCK d44's. but this is dictated by a guys actual conditions.
once a d44 is upgraded then the comparison in strength grows on an exponent. sure, a stock 260 joint low pinion eb d44 or d30 anything is retarded to me to swap in over a good d35. but upgrade axle shafts are everywhere for these and cheeeeeeep at that. d35 parts are hard to get anywhere.
these guys bashing the d35 have moved past that point of low buck stock to stock comparisons. . so the context of the previous opinion of the 35 is long gone.
that said, i take the d35 bashing in context of actual use.
in a thread like this, no room for d35 support.
