IMO the t case is the last thing I would worry about. Do the gears, locker, and front axle first
Then again, i may leave the 30 for a while and lock the rear. Lol. Fml.

The axle is my next biggest hump. Im pretty torn on which route to go there. I know a pr44 is the ideal route, but your also talkin 4k easy. I just dont know if the budget will every allow for that. Thats alot of money to justify for the wheeling i get to do. A take off 44 is more in my money ball park with two young kids. I know you dont gain as much but i wonder if for me, it would be the better fit. Decisions decisions.
Lol im not in the position to do anything right really but i guess that would depend on which pr44 package you buy ;-)You go halfsies with me on a PR44 and I'll gift you my D44. Sound like a deal?
Lol. Thanks scott. I want to do the axle/gears/locker first though but its probably gonna be a bit. The tcase is doable for now.
yea i know it. Thats what has me thinking about the best order to procede. I like baby steps.lolThis sounds like a good idea as well, but in the end its not a cheap option.
You could do that and it's what I did. I regeared my 30 but left it open and locked the rear.
As for the axle I would rather see you spend the money on the pr just for the safety aspect of it since the Rubi 44 and the 30 are the same axle outside of the diff being bigger on the 44. It's still gonna bend in the same spot.
i dont want to get rid of it at all. I love it. Sometimes i get ancy and need the proverbial smack in the face. Lol.
I'm sort of currently in the same spot as you minus the enforcer and have so far done all the work myself, wouldn't dream of trading it in.
I wouldn't sweat the T-case ratio at all honestly; I'm under the impression it's no stronger, just different gearing (Vets correct me if I'm wrong here). I have a Rubi and yearn to sometimes be able to put out a little more wheelspin in 4-Lo. I'm sure you encounter your share of slimy stuff doing normal trails/rocks in Ky even if you detest mud and go out of your way to avoid it like me.

Don't sell it!!!! Are you crazy????!!!!
Just upgrade in stages. What I would do is get the ARB twin air compressor with the mount and install it first because you can run it for air tools and airing up. Plus its one of the cheapest upgrades on your list.
Then go with regear and locking the rear with an ARB. If you wanted you could chromo the rear but honestly I wouldn't until you broke a stock shaft. Keep the front open.
Then after that, buy a Prorock 44, 60, junkyard axles, Rockwell's, whatever the hell you want and wheel the sbit out of your Jeep!!!!
Plus you can get a little money back by selling the Dana 30 once you upgrade to a bigger front. It won't be much, but it may pay for a part you really want/need in the future or pay for labor.
I was thinking along the same lines. Prior to any of that though, is a winch, true sliders and a cage lol, not in any particular order.
Out of those, I'd say winch first, sliders, then cage.

I say Rockwells... Thats my down fall lol. Dont forget the 49s to go with it lmao.
well, im looking at it from a family safety standpoint. On the trail, and as a DD.Agree with this or skip the cage and use that money for the axle and regear
Yea that. LolWarn Zeon!!!!!!!!!!!
