Awesome!!! I’m sure you’ve addressed this in the past but why’d you go with the Dana UD 60’s over Dynatrac?

I’m disappointed that Jeremy didn’t slam the boxes down before opening them.

hmmm... sure, everybody has a lift, but would've been better showing this without the use of a lift for beginners along with using plenty of JB Weld stacked dimes for those of use not certified to weld or without the "pro's" welding equipment.
other than that, I'd say Disciple did an ok job for the conditions they had to work under.

Great video with awesome information. It’s really cool to see a shop with that level of attention to detail- and obviously enjoying what they do. There are very few shops I’d trust to work on my Jeeps and Disciple Off Road is definitely on the trust list.

Jeremy knows his Jeep stuff- he can also put a hurting on some moonshine.

You mean like the Rams?…
Great video!
But I've got a dubt in my mind. Since the old D60 Ultimate had a damage so serious that not even an excellent welding solved the issue, why did you decide to install always a new one D60 instead of another brand?
In my opinion, If it was happened on my Jeep, I would have change the old axle with another one but no more Dana.
What do you think about?

Dynatrac historically has very long lead times. Why wait a year for something you can have now?
It was a fun day for sureLooks like a fun day of gettin er done.
LOL - it's all good.To Negative Nancy, well no shit they aren't AWS welders and no shit they don't have weld procedures in place. It's an automotive shop, NONE of that is required in their industry. But I think you just wanted to tout your alphabet qualifications to impress everyone but you didn't.
Don't think you're the only on here that carries AWS certifications, and don't think your educator status equates to the real world. I've seen TIG freehanders stack dimes all day long on pressure piping and they pass xray or phase array 97% or better. There's absolutely nothing wrong with his MIG fillet welds and by just eyeballing in video on the internet they appear to be the proper thickness for the size of steel used, but yes being there in person with my fillet gauges would give me a better idea.
Sheeesh
Sorry to be a dick in your video thread Eddie, Jeremy you STILL need a comb
You mean originally? If so, it's because we've always run Dynatrac, for almost 2 decades and still run them on Moby. With our Gladiator, we decided to try something new if only for the experience. If you mean this time around, mainly because I really would have wanted something made more for what we're doing with our Gladiator now. Something more like a fabricated 9 like what Currie makes but that would be opening a pandora's box of changes which would include a new rear axle as well.
LOL - well, they are definitely a shop I would recommendGreat video with awesome information.

Actually, they're aren't exactly close, about a 5-6 hour drive away depending on traffic but still well worth the drive.
Thank you. It really is nice to have our Gladiator up and ready to wheel again and I'm glad to hear you've had good service from Disciple
Everything breaks or at least, it's what I have seen in the over 25 years of doing this Jeep thing. Since you seemed to have missed it, our rear axle is a UD60 as well and it's held up fine. The problem wasn't necessarily with the axle but rather, with the crazy speed we can now hit really stupid big whoops and the inability for the front suspension to keep up with the rear. That is something we need to try and address more than what axle we're running. That said, a new axle is something we've considered but not for the reasons you would have.
