Help keep my d44's alive! **UPDATE**
Well I did a little bit of playing around this weekend, nothing cool or even half way fun but in the midst of messin around I realized my rear locker doesn't work.
Rear light flashes, front locks up fine. Summmmbitch!!
I'm gonna pull th cover this next weekend and if it turns out to be the anti rotation tab thing and some broken wires then COOL! Back in business!! But I'm usually not that lucky.
I was in the middle of shopping around for some rear axles for shits n giggles but now Im thinking it wouldnt be worth it. In the end if I do an ARB + compressor and 35 spline axles... It's still a D44.
Is it D60 time???
FML!!!
Ive been doing lots of reading, probably a bad thing! I know the forums is where people come to bitch and complain about what sucks and what they broke. Nobody wants to read about your " I went wheelin today and didn't break anything" story's so I'm sure Ill be fine for 90% of the stuff Im gonna do to this poor jeep.
BUT If any of you knew me personally youd be making bets on what I break first, there's already a pool at work... $5 a square PM me if you want in.:sigh:
I just wanna try and reduce the potential explosion of my drive terrain on my first trip out, especially since it's got a hemi and 37's... And no I don't have a bajillion dollars laying around for PR60/80's
Front end consists of:
Gusset'd C's
Dynatrac pro steer BJ's
RCV axles
Artec truss'd
Synergy trackbar brace
Welded lower arm skids
Poly HD tierod
Poison spyder diff cover
Yukon 5.13's
Teraflex big brakes + calipers
Stock rubi locker
From what I understand it's pretty much as built as a stock Front Rubi 44 can get with the exception of the locker... Right?
Now the rear is another story....
Yukon 5:13's
Annnnnd it's completely stock otherwise. I am running the full traction CRC link deal and it's got somewhat of a truss contraption built into it and a diff cover guard but that's it.
If it makes any difference it's got 1310 front drive shaft and a 1350 rear. Don't know the mfg?
So what say you experienced jeepers?? Should I at the minimum replace the rear axles?
Are the factory lockers my weak point? What else?
I've broken lots of parts/vehicles/toys playing hard but never something like this. Where it takes another capable rig to help get you out of places. I don't think my dually would make it very far thru the hammers or the rubicon ya kno??!
Sorry for all the n00b babbling!!
