UPDATE!!!!! I have had a few comments saying you CAN get thin reverse d60 gears above 4.56, and I WAS able to find one in 5.38 ratio from yukon. But I still CAN'T find any in 5.13. So I'm kind of right and kind of wrong in this video. I will post any additional findings here.
Man what a bummer, thanks for sharing this info. Hopefully you can find a buyer for that locker. Thanks for posting, definitely streamlining your editing man 😊👍
I wasn’t even planning on making this video but I figured if I could share my mistake and save one person from doing the same thing then it’s worth it. It was meant to be a quick little video. The last one wasn’t so streamline😂 thanks Mike
Well I guess it’s too late for me to give them a call. I spent hours looking on the Internet and couldn’t find anyone selling thin cut above 410, I spoke with a buddy who is a gearing expert and he told me nobody makes them.
I did that and everything was saying thick but then again I was only clicking on trusted sources and vendors I know(for the ones that didn’t specify in the search result). If so many people have them why would somewhere like ecgs not carry them? Oh well. Also strange since my local gear guy even told me they don’t make them and at that point I stopped looking.
When I build the D44 for my TJ I found out that there are several different pinion shoulder diameters and the first set I picked up was the small diameter version so it didn't work...
Yeah I don’t know. it was an honest mistake but it’s been over a year that I’ve had it and it’s kind of a long story how I even got that locker, they said I could possibly return it with a restocking fee if I had the invoice but I don’t. Cause I wasn’t the one who purchased
@@FlawedOffroad I'm sure there's somebody that'll snag it from you, at least recover some of your loss. But good progress on the build man. It's just been so cold and wet and miserable over here I haven't been doing much wheeling at all lately
@@MegaMarclar I haven’t wheeled since October when I went to the Badlands. My 4 x 4 club has had a couple local runs already this spring but I haven’t really dug the Jeep out yet and I don’t plan on it until this axle is in it.
Hey man Love the content just had a question, do you think i could run 37's reliably with a ultimate dana 44 front and a dana 60 rear? I do pretty difficult trails but nothing too crazy. thanks
Probably be fine if you run Cromoly shafts but if you’re running a locker and get all bound up it’s still not super hard to break a shaft. The only reason I never broke one with this combo is because I have the limited slip front end. I’ve seen people run 37s on a Dana 30 and get by for moderate wheeling
@@_Vexzz rCV’s are super strong but they do have some downside so if you don’t know much about them you should look into it before making that commitment because they are very expensive and kind of difficult to work around. It’s what I’m gonna be running in my 60 though
@@bwhartman1 well yeah the carrier is the same. the problem lies when nobody makes the thin or standard gears above a certain ratio which makes the 456 and up carrier useless for a high pinion 60

Interested in the set up of the OX locker. Throwing one in my 05+. First time using an OX
I was hoping to do it/film it this weekend but something else is taking priority so it’ll be a few weeks probably
I run a thin cut gear in my hp d60 5.38 spooled. Sierra gear and axle in Sacramento sold it to me been running it for 6months
I love ox lockers I run 1 in my sterling 10.5. I'll be installing the d60 in a few weeks

I found a couple 5.38 thin reverse sets but no 5.13 sets anywhere. Ive had a few people tell me they do exist but I still cant find.
@@FlawedOffroad i did some digging also and the catalog show a thin 4.88 then jumps to thin 5.38
Its all in how you word it.Type in "dana 60 reverse thin 5.38" lots of places carry them in different brands.
I did that and everything was saying thick but then again I was only clicking on trusted sources and vendors I know(for the ones that didn’t specify in the search result).

Well they are available if you want to keep that OX is all I was saying.But if uou google what I said you can find plenty.
I looked around again and every single one that comes up is either thick or not reverse cut. You have a link?
I think I did see a thin reverse 5.38 but not a 5.13
When I build the D44 for my TJ I found out that there are several different pinion shoulder diameters and the first set I picked up was the small diameter version so it didn't work...
I bought a 14 bolt carrier used and got burned with a 4.56 that was advertised as a 4.10. I was only out 100 bucks though.
bummer man, I usually always call ECGS before I order anything to make sure it'll work. So much conflicting info in the interwebs.

@@FlawedOffroad ok thank you, do you think i would be fine if i put rcv shafts in and had ox lockers?

Too bad I already bolted my 60 carrier up or I would consider buying that off you!
If it weren't for the fact that I'll be building a FORD Dana 60, I'd jump on that deal.
Hoping someone does!
Dana 60 carrier is a dana 60 carrier. Only difference is high and low speed. Meaning carrier break. There are standard and reverse cut gears obviously

I posted a link for 5.38 reverse non thick gears@@FlawedOffroad
I'll buy that 4.56+ d60 from you
