Please take your camera along, so I may add your broken Dana 35c to my site:

Wow, that log idea in the video is a great idea.
Where / how are you going to ride it? Need more information ie. motor, gears, usage...
My TJ with the 33's and Dana 35 is a "street princes". Does just fine.
2.5 fourbanger, weekend off-road, not heavy rockclimbing, mostly backroads/logging roads, grown in trails, steep climbs, shale,loose rock,mud, washouts,
4/11 gears stock, and yes bill ill bring my camera, johnp
You'll be fine.
You'll be fine. My brother has a NoSlip in his AMC20 axle behind a 4 banger, and my other brother has a LockRight in his D35 behind a 4 banger, both run
31s.You will be fine.
i was thinking of the "no-slip" locker, by powertrax, im just loking for a little more traction,
would i be better going to the front-end? ive read alot of contriversy onit thanks, johnp
this is great, Jeff says ill be fine, Bill says ill be sendin him a pic, , looks like a 50/50 crapshoot, justinfun, johnp
whatabout justdoin the front?
I'm with Jeff on that one, especially if you avoid hammering the gas.
The YJ Dana 30 front end uses smaller/weaker 260 u joints than the TJ's stronger 297s. 260s are known to start breaking when lockers are added, but as with the Dana 35, it's far from a sure thing with your setup.

Bill, it would be interesting to know, what setups all those guys were using, lockers/tiresize/gears, ect,ect, , johnp
You'll be fine.
You can not apply enough power with a 4 banger to explode the diff, and you can't apply enough leverage with 31" tires to explode the diff.
I can't say for sure, but none of those rigs looked to be fitted with 31s, and it is a good bet that none are 4 bangers.
Seriously? some look like 29" but the majority of those are no where near
29".Looks mighty unsafe ...
