It will be interesting to see how powerful it feels once you start adding some weight to it and do a regear...not sure what else is in your build plans as far as mods go...or how much the final weight will be...

Yeah that’s the thing. I’ll re-gear these stock D44’s to 5.13 and see what happens. I can get a good feel for it from there since I know about how much the 1 tons change things. That being said, I may not have a choice on 5.13’s if we go with UD’s and in that case it’s 5.38’s. I’d build a set of Superduty, but the e-brake thing...

If it’s like the new F-150 push-button brakes it’s not an emergency brake anymore. Can’t set it moving, and if you put it in gear and apply throttle, it releases. It’s just a parking brake now.

Well, that's pretty useless if you have an emergency, like a blown brake line, and need the EMERGENCY BRAKE to stop
Been there, more times than I want to remember.

I’m not a fan of how the e-brake connects to the Superduty axles, or even the PR60’s for that matter.

There’s a lot of truth to that! It’ll be a while before it’s properly ready for any serious off roading.

Well tell us a bit about what you plan on dong with it. My advice would be to wheel it as is and see what limitations you come across. You can then mod it accordingly. Wait a min.....:crazyeyes:...haha

can you expound on this? i plan to keep my JKU for at least 4-5 more years. i was thinking that at some point down the line i would upgrade my JK axles to 60s or 60/80 with the thought that i could swap them over into a JL or JT.

New delivery for the Gladiator! Wouldn’t you know they’d show up right before I leave for the JKX![emoji30] Oh well, gives me something else to look forward to coming back to!
PS: No yoga pants were worn in the acquisition of these axles[emoji6]

I offered to do a video in yoga pants for Dynatrac to upgrade from my messed up PR to a 60/80 and they said I was not funny when I asked yesterday! :idontknow:

I’m hoping you sell enough “quality product” to do a couple Hemi swaps before I bring mine down...I hate being the first one...
And please, no yoga pants while working on my JT...
