If you upgrade to chromoly or alloy axle shafts does that mean the next most likely thing to blow on the trail will be the ring and pinion?
If so that seems a little concerning, as a broken axle would be much easier to fix than blown gears.
Not surprising. A lot of the Amazon sellers are pricing them under $200, and then you don't get the rebate. @Chris and myself got ones from the right Amazon seller.
Got the same ones on Amazon too. That seller has them priced just right above $200, whereas most of the other sellers have them for $199. This is nice because in order to qualify for the rebate, the order has to be $200 or more.

Try pulling the fill plug. If the plug is installed too tight it can bind the locker actuator ring.
There are actually torque specs on the fill plug. The Rubicon has a magnetic plug and the placement is directly over the locked rear locker. If it's in too far the actuator ring will gouge the...

There's a nice TJ under there somewhere, and not all of the mods are bad. However, what I will say is that to me, this is what "overdone" looks like. Way to much going on there to be tasteful in my opinion.
The factory Dana 35 rear axle found in most TJ Wranglers is a little on the light side, and if you run larger-than-stock tires, you’re likely looking at an eventual failure. If you want to turn really big tires, wheel abusively, or push gobs of power into your rear axle, you’ll probably want to...
Found this article on Extreme Terrain's website and just wanted to share it with my fellow TJ owners. Hopefully it helps someone in the future!
