depends on your tyres and how throttle happy u are i suppose
iv done 3 diffs in the last 6 months , 2 were fronts

the more grip your tyres have and the more you floor it, the more likely you are to pop a diff (sometimes anyway) my mate has 35" simex tyres, ( the ones like the good old insa special tracks, and theres a few hills near us that hes tried doing in extreame syle and has done 12 diffs in just under a year most of them back and hes done one ARB aswell ,
-
12 in a year..... :clap: :clap: :clap: that takes some doing.. :lol: :lol:

[!Expletive Deleted!] , that makes me feel better now :shock:
-
lol yeah he doesnt feel to good lol, but refuses to get the uprated crown and pinion coz then hes more than likely just pop shafts and there just as hard to replace if not harder if they get stuck in the axle, ive done 3 in 2 months all rears,

i'm really not trying hard enough.... :oops: :oops:
-
i'm really not trying hard enough.... :oops: :oops:
I'm getting that feeling as well.
-
I'm happy that I'm not trying hard enough if its gonna cost me 1 diff per month...
Your mates obviously pretty serious about what he does, good for him.

at that rate i think i would spend the cash on uprated parts. Gotta be cheaper in the long run.

Until you break them multiple times and then the cost far outweighs getting a decent set of diffs...
Get some ARB's...go on you know you want to!

theres a few people doing challenge events on 35's & 37s with the right uprated bits that can cope with a "drive it like its stolen mentality", mine on 35s gets regularly driven this way but there is a fine line u have to learn as to when to stop & winch & when 1 more go will do
-
not wanting to temp fate, but I've only managed to "blow" two rear diffs in the last year!
The only problem was, the last time I had diff trouble, I broke a half shaft and totally destroyed the Detroit locker in the rear ........ there, hope that's made you feel better now mate
