    Lack of Parts for OE Rubicon Dana 44 and UD-44 axles

    In my quest for parts for my OEM Rubicon differentials, I called Dana Aftermarket and confirmed the UD-44 uses the OE Jeep Rubicon differentials as standard. When I asked if I could buy a UD-44 differential, I was told they don't sell them separately, you have to purchase the whole axle, same as...

    Front locker blues

    I noted that my front locker wasn't working after getting it back from re-gearing. I bought the Z Automotive sensor bypass jumper just before a trail trip a couple weeks ago. Nothing. We ran Backway to Crown King and really didn't need lockers. Yesterday, I dug into it. The locker hall...

    Spare Axles-Storage and Transport

    I have the stock axles out of my 44s and recently went on a trip long enough that I took a lot of tools and spares. The spare axles are a pain to store in the garage and to put in the truck bed (with topper). Anyone have ideas on the some kind of containers for the axles? The rear are the...

    Modified Floor Jack and New Jack Stands

    I was tiring of messing around trying to get my JLUR and GMC pickup jacked high enough to do work under it. Additionally, I'm about to lift my JLUR and put 37s on it. So, jacking it will be an issue. I decided to modify my 3 ton aluminum jack. I have a couple others that are steel, a Sunex...

    Hi From Socal

    Hi folks. I'm in southern California. Recently retired engineer from aerospace. I have a JL Rubicon Unlimited that is currently mostly stock, with a Warn winch and Rockhard aluminum bumper. I'm hoping to have a Metalcloak lift, 37s, and full skids in the near future. Then hit some of the...
