Couldn't stay away from the south, huh?
I like dirty south cooking and hospitality. This place has neither, not even a Cracker Barrel. That's F*#ked!

That's a town that I could live in. Pretty place...

Thinking of a 4th of July Colorado wheeling trip next year. Want to join? :)
Chattanooga is great, very nice downtown to get shmammered. 4th of july, possible. Maybe early season Moab trip?? I'll have to see how work is going. I dont have a long term job yet at this point.

Windrock or Mtn City when you get back?
Windrock.

October 7thish?
We could shoot for that.

Be sure to bring your balls........I'm getting my moneys worth.
You buy me lockers, gears and new tires!? I'll be ready to go back to Moab then. Or I'll be spotter/photographer.

Nope. May eliminates the Colorado passes & I'm more interested in CO than Moab
The high elevation stuff didnt open until mid/ late July this year. It is beautiful once you are up there and most trails are a medium rating so its not too difficult going in most places.

Suck it. I'm not driving 20 hrs to only ride Moab. Besides, if I do Moab I'm mountain biking Slickrock at least once.

07+ Jeep JK Rubicon D44. 66" WMS-WMS, High pinion, locked. Would a chevy flat top style knuckle work with it?? Is it possible to keep the ABS sensors on it and make it all work together?? If all that could work out it could be a good potential axle for a truck like mine. Lets face it, I wouldn't need a 60. With as long as my truck is and the style of off roading I do the 60 wouldn't get out of its own way with 35's.

Jk Rub axle will be EXPENSIVE. A built 79 F250 high pinion would probably net about the same amount??

discuss.....

Doesn't the Rubi axle have something special about it? Or is that the rear axle? Something like a larger than normal ring gear?

Rubi 44 is just a D44 center with 30 outers. Not really a 44. You can add chromo outers and build it up to withstand 35's though.

I cant seem to find any info on putting a 6 lug knuckle on the the JK 44. Even if you were able to I believe you would be right back in the same boat with no ABS. I dont know why but the no ABS thing is bothering me..

Honestly, I wouldn't put a 44 in these newer trucks especially with the weight of your DCLB. You will never build a 44 up to the strength of a stock D60. I would look into putting a 60 out of a super duty. It has ABS, the width is sufficient, and you can find one stock for about $550. I'll see if I can find the link.
