Hello chris, In europe, had the rubicon on markets from 04 to 06, i pull out these pair of axles from a 06 that want to upgrade to Jk rubi axles to have more width without using spacers, and without sacrificing the steering.
About this i thought to import some Dana 60 from USA, but i cant afford that swap, in money is more reliable the Patrol GQ and GU axle swap, put some ARB lockers and done. Other parts for Jeep are allways imported from USA with an overprice of about 25% on it.
Im from the nothwhest of spain, rainy and greener than the other rest of my country, little bit of similar wheather like UK/ireland and with similar terrain.
At this time of the year here we have snow above 1400-1500 meters high. And in this place of the country offroading doesnt have so much law pursuit. Other parts have permanent banned offroading, to 4x4 buggy or enduro bikes.
In Galicia, where i live, we use firewalls, rural paths of dirt, and some outpaths to offroad. We have in my county and near; a 4x4 organized routes circuit begining on late october until late april for 4x4, some quadbikes and enduro bikes, and most enthusiasts have there, a common meeting point at this organizated routes.
