Any vehicle has its weak spots. That's part of the fun in building a vehicle up. My stock rubicon can do things that my built up blazer never could. Just like most animals though, a Rubicon has some soft spots on its underbelly that either need some additional protection, or some additional consideration when choosing your path on the trails.

I did not say that the axles are "sucky", just the stock configuration on the Rubicon. I mean, Sunday a stick rendered my Rubicon useless. But I'll probably save that for another thread and really was probably a freak accident.

These axles are pretty good. PM with questions.

Doh! I totally missed your point. Forgive me, I'm old. Lol.

While a stock Rubicon is an extremely capable vehicle, they definitely have some weaknesses.

What are the odds of a stick disabling your Jeep. :crazyeyes:

One thing I definitely don't like on my 2015 Rubicon is the exposed auto trans cooler line on the bottom of the transmission. Can't wait to install the EVO skid plate.

Yours would make the perfect donor jeep!!! You should get a prorock this month. Win-win all around ;-)

Lol! I think a prorock with a stock suspension and tires might be a bit overkill. Plus, my axle plan is pretty much run it until it breaks and then upgrade.

That was initially my plan, and i guess it still could be, but its my understanding that speed bends housings and there sure isnt any desert bombing type trails around here. And i probably wouldnt run them if if there was. Trail/Rock crawling is really all i do. I just dont know if i can justify 4-5k when a $1500 axle would probably do me just fine. Idk.

Wish I was in a position to sell you mine buddy. I have 2 more years on the Jeep and then I'm thinking about doing a cash out re-fi on it to purchase axle(s) that way and claim the interest on my taxes. It's the slow but smart way for me.
