Another quick question. When I look at the Currie RockJock 44s, I just can't figure out the difference the LB ends and the Set 10 ends. Is Set 10 Timkin, and LB some other brand or something like that? Just trying to make an educated decision and not regret it in the end. Thanks again for...

I'm on 33's at the moment, but was looking to get to somewhere in the 40" range over the next couple of years. My current lift wouldn't handle much larger than 35's, but it's all a process. You know what I mean? With an absolutely destroyed D35, it sort of just made sense to make that jump...

Hey guys, So, I have a Dana 35 that blew up, and I've always said I was going to drive it until it goes, and then do a swap for a D44 or D60. The D44 is a super easy swap because it's roughly the same size and dimensions as the existing D35, so it just bolts in without any clearance issues or...

In my research, the only selectable lockers that act like an LSD are the stock Rubi lockers. I could be wrong on that, but that's what I've been reading. I also think only the rear behaves that way. I have an LSD and I don't hate it, but I definitely don't love it either. I would prefer open...

That is definitely a huge selling point. The other reason that is good is if the cable breaks for some reason (gets too close to the exhaust manifold and melts, been there with a friend of mine) you just screw that thing in and you're good for the day. If I go selectable, I'm incredibly torn...

You won't regret it. The thing is rock solid.

RE makes some great stuff, I actually have a set of adjustable upper control arms of theirs in the rear. I can't say anything about their oil pan skid though because I haven't used or seen that product. I am a huge fan of MetalCloak so I went with theirs mostly because I knew I could trust it...

I crunched my oil pan on a stump that I couldn't really see while night wheeling with a few buddies. Replaced the oil pan on my TJ and said, never again. I ordered the MetalCloak oil pan skid and couldn't believe how sturdy the thing was. They could charge 3x as much as they do, and it would...

I have an LSD in my broken down Dana 35 and haven't had any issues with it. This primarily a trail vehicle, but it does also see a good amount of pavement in the summer months. Todd, I know exactly what you mean when you talk about worrying about the air-lines. That is one of the primary...

Funny, turning radius is something I know is better with selectable on the road, but I honestly hadn't considered it for the trail. Thanks for that. Selectable is looking like the better go because a lot of the trails we do can be tight at times.

Nice rig, man....

I'm likely investing in a G2 Core 44 for my TJ this winter and I'm curious what the opinion is these days for lockers. I can save a few hundred bucks by getting a Detroit but I need to invest in on-board air anyway so the ARB is appealing as well. I know the big differences on-road between...

I've seen the G2's and I like them. It's what I'm leaning towards. I was having a hard time finding out if they use the JK gears, but I finally found on their website that they do. So that's what I'll probably go with. Next thing I have to figure out is Detroit Locker or something selectable...

I know this has probably been posted a few times now, but I couldn't really find what I was looking for. I want to upgrade to Dana 44 Axles in my TJ, and am having a hard time finding out which choices use the larger JK gears vs the standard TJ gears. I know Currie does, but I'm having a...

I've also been looking at this. Those <$100 lights are intriguing. I don't drive a lot at night, but when I do, lights that work would be great. hahaa
