I have had 5 Jeeps, all were wheeled hard, 4 of them had D35s. I never broke any of my D35's. I have seen more built D44s and D60s break on the trails than D35s. It's more about how your rig is built and how you wheel it. You give me any axle made I can break it for you in 10 minutes, that doesn't mean the axle was weak.

Jeep used it in Wranglers and and both the ZJ and XJ, for almost 30 years. It's not that bad. If you are going to be running a locker and tires bigger than 33" and doing nothing but hard core rock krawling, you should up grade it. If you rig is a DD that you wheel and you keep the tires under 33", Its a Good axle.

your last comment is a joke right?
