Yup, i am still thinking it through since with dynatrac i am going to be tying up about $20k for a year (turn around time) or to just go with dana 60/80 setup (those seem to be pretty much ready to go) - i hear really good things about the Dynatrac's. My thing is - its going ot cost upwards of...

The rubicon axles aren't really any stronger - they are just wider (on Gladiators anyway) and come with lockers already installed

The dealer wrapped this up for me a few weeks ago - was a quick reflash haven't really noticed much if any difference.

Seems to me like the right answer here is for me to stop being a bitch and just put up with what I have and order 1 tons - upgrade once is cheaper than paying for all these upgrades that I KNOW i will end up replacing a year or so down the line.

My deducation was based on the quote I got for lockers , gears and chromoly axle shafts (including fad delete) was around $4k per axle - ultimate dana 44's could be had for around $4500 with the gears i want with the wider track and lockers already installed and ready to go, was going to also...

So as I've posted before I am going through a set of upgrades and I was looking at the cost of upgrading gears, adding lockers, stronger axles and knuckles - all in the cost was about what it would cost (or negligible) to just swap the whole axle out for a Ultimate Dana 44 (or a Prorock 44)...

I remmember visiting the Jeep dealer when i was young - don't have anything that old still have old ZJ, YJ, and XJ brochures. IIRC all jeeps back then had solid axles front and rear. There was a big hoopla over the unibody Jeeps (don't know if anyone remembers the old timers being upset about...

Congrats on the land - I am actually looking into buying a piece of land out in WV myself.

Also curious what front bumper are you running?

Man that is exactly where I want to be at (for now) with the flex - I will have my ridge grapplers on this coming week - i settled on terraflex wheel spacers (will be installing them all around). Looks like you stuck with the stock flares but with a chop ?"

Exactly what I am shooting for. There is so much room there now - it looks like i am riding on skateboard wheels. It looks so much better now as well - i can see the fenders from the cab easier so i know where i am placing my tires. Now the challenge is finding a place around me that has 37's...

Welcome from VA !

IMO this is a must for anyone who has a non Rubicon/Mojave. I am not sure if the rivet gun i was using was faulty or I suck at it (I've done normal rivets before and wasnt that bad at it). But invest in a decent plastic rivet gun if you want clean factory looking plastic rivets. I didn't need...

Yup I seen that - but it seems like a whole lot of work to bolt on new mounts - you still have to cut the old mounts off it looks like - after reading through and watching the process - i am willing to bet it will be easier (if you can weld ofcourse) and more secure to just weld the new control...

Yup, its a shame that they don't offer a Gladiator with a v8 option - but I am perfectly content with the 3.6. The OD gears on the 8 speed are really really tall (I am guessing for fuel economy reasons).

Man thats going to be SICK. Can't wait to see the final product.

Swapping chevy v8's into Jeeps has been a thing for a very long time.

Any reason why you wouldn't consider a hemi conversion instead ?

You don't feel trusses help beef up axle tubes ? The main issue I've seen on current stock axles is the axles bending (aside from ring gears/pinions) right around where the fad mounts, wouldn't a good truss setup help eliminate/reduce this break point ? My main reason for not upgrading to 1...

I can't wait to see how this turns out. I know its more involving to install (and i'll probably have a shop do this) but the results are deff worth it.
