How crappy are the rear non-rubicon D44 JK axles? I'm googling them and hear the odd issues about them bending at the axle flanges. I'd be cutting the axle flanges off and making it full float anyway using old school D44 spindles out back. I found one with the gear ratio I want AND an ARB locker...
I'm looking at various options and I have so much invested in JK Rubicon 44 housings. Front is a Tera44 with 1/2" thick tubes and rear is still stock housing with custom brackets. They both have 8 lug full float kits from Teraflex. I was just wondering what it would take to widen them...

Located in Northern Bay Area., I'm making weekly trips to Sacramento for work so I could potentially meet/deliver in the area if there's interest.
It occurred to me last fall what a jerk I was riding around in the JK with the top and doors off and a sunscreen only covering the front two seats. My 2yr old in the back was in the full sun. It’s not a terrible thing because she looks cute in sunglasses, but it’s the heat I worry about. It’s...
So the intent of the original version was an attempt to entice the JKO crowd over to our lil’ sub-forum on here. Now we ain’t got no sub-forum on here no more … and my contest thread got lost in space. :eek:
Oh well. For the time bein’ at least, we still got us a jeep section. (I was afraid...
well here we go again with starting a build thread and never updating it or remembering my password. I have been on pirate, JKForum and a few others; I am sure that people have seen me around.

My fellow JKO and PBB survivors,
I'll be rebuilding my JKO thread (7 years of JK & random oddball stuff, & a metric shit-ton of photos) here on Irate4x4
Just getting this started because not having it done will bug the shit out of me - like I need another incomplete project :laughing:
Will...
Let’s try some tech
Car info:
JKU Rubicon, 2” lift, adjustable lower arms, 37” milestars, your basic mall crawler.
Needed hydro assist since I like to to turn my wheels in the rocks.
Over the years, I noticed that most hydro assist set ups want to rotate the tie rod. This is particularly true...
We've been talking forum consolidation in chit chat and in an effort to shrink things down a bit we're going to be dropping the Jeep section to just one forum. This will give people less places to have to look for cool builds.
All your restoration, basic or newb Jeeps question can go there. If...
Alright, I'm trying to move my build thread over here from JKO.
Probably a 100% chance this will go terribly wrong for a while:flipoff2:
Edit:
Weeeeeell, it seems there are a ton of pics missing in the thread on JKO. I'm up to page 16 over there and all the pics are gone. I know they were...
