I have been thinking about building a hp30. I have a disco hp30 sitting around that I could use. After you block off the disconnect is there a strenght difference between the disco and non disco?

the only time ive seen a D30 housing fail was when the clown was repeatedly jumping it. the weakness of the shafts and u-joints are far less than the weakness of the housing.
the non-disco shaft conversion is a very easy swap. just remember to swap the outer axle seal (outboard of the disco actuator) to one that is designed to go into the carrier on the opposite side just outside of the carrier itself.

another option, keep the axle disco, and weld up the gears and install some type of cable actuator system.. I too have seen only one D30 Housing bend up, and basically for the same reason (jumping) Doug from seacoast had his D30 pretty Taco'ed, but kept driving on it with a little seapage from where the tubes met the diff.
