    Good/Bad/Ugly Price for Rubicon Axles?

    Hello all! I sometimes browse Craigslist for any used Jeep parts I might be inclined to add to my TJ for "cool factor" :afro: Yesterday I found a rolled Rubi LJ with 96,000 at a wrecking yard. He still has both the Dana 44s and wants 4k for the set and said he would throw in the compressors for...

    Re-gear and locker advice

    So I have come to a point now that it is definitely time to regear. I am running 35s on stock drivetrain currently. I have a Dana 30/44 mix on my 05 TJ.

    How durable are the factory TJ Rubicon lockers?

    Anyone have any idea how durable the factory TJ Rubicon lockers are? If mine ever go on me I'll replace them with Eaton e-Lockers, but in the meantime I'm curious what I can expect from my factory lockers?

Also are these a direct bolt in or do you have to re-shim & adjust...

    Is it possible to activate Rubicon lockers over 10mph?

    So I am told (haven't tested it out) that the factory Rubicon lockers de-activate at speeds over 10 mph and only work in 4 low. Is there an easy way to allow them to work in 4 hi and speeds over 10 mph? Or is this a bad / dangerous idea? Mostly I was thinking it might be nice to have the rear...

    What does a locker do? Do I need a locker?

    Here's something I wrote years ago, I thought it might be useful here too. Why do we need lockers, I thought I had four wheel drive? We need lockers for tough terrain because the differentials installed into most of our front and rear axles have a characteristic that can turn our 4x4 Jeeps...
