Ultimate Dana Axles EXPLAINED: Zach from Dana Spills the Jeep Secrets!

🚙 Buckle up, Jeep enthusiasts! It's time for another exciting *Jeep Talk Show* interview, and this time we're diving deep with Zach from Dana! 🛠️

Join us as we chat with Zach, who grew up four-wheeling in his Jeep J10 pickup in the mountains of Pennsylvania (yep, they’ve got mountains there!). From serving in the U.S. Army to earning a BS in Mechanical Engineering at Penn State, Zach’s journey led him to Dana Corporation, where he now heads Aftermarket Engineering. He’s behind the legendary **Ultimate Dana 60**, **Dana 44**, and **Dana 80** crate axles, and he also leads Dana’s annual trip to Moab, Utah, for the iconic *Easter Jeep Safari*!

In this episode, we cover:
🔧 The history of Dana axles and their role in the invention of the Jeep.
🏜️ Zach’s experiences in Moab and why it feels like “another planet” compared to Pennsylvania.
🚗 The differences between Dana’s **Ultimate Dana 44**, **Dana 60**, and **Dana 80** axles, and why they’re a game-changer for Jeepers and Bronco owners.
⚙️ The truth about the infamous Dana 35 (spoiler: it wasn’t Dana’s choice!).
🛠️ Tips for upgrading your axles, choosing between full-float and semi-float, and why Dana axles are the gold standard.
🌄 Hilarious stories from the trails, including a white-knuckle moment on Shafer Trail and a scenic trip through Long Canyon.

Plus, we dive into the nitty-gritty of U-joints, locking differentials, and why Zach’s job at Dana is a dream come true (minus the meetings, of course 😉). Whether you’re a hardcore off-roader or just love the Jeep lifestyle, this episode is packed with knowledge, laughs, and inspiration to hit the trails!
