Comanche gets a new toy Sunday

[87Warrior]

Headed to pick up this D44 front axle out of a 2005 Rubicon on Sunday. It has the 15" Vanco Big Brake kit (EBC Green Pads), ORO U-Turn steering with 7075 Aluminum Tie Rod (new TRE's), RE Track Bar, RockCrusher Diff Cover, 4:10 Gears, Alloy USA Axle shafts and Alloy USA axle seals. Has a busted front locker (typical for the rub lockers when loaded up). Figure $2500 in after market parts :eek:

 

 

My plan is to take the ORO Steering, trackbar end, shafts and seals out of this axle and install them in my Rubi. Afterall, I planned on buying all of those parts anyhow! All of the stock stuff I take out of my axle will go into this housing for the Comanche, resulting in a decent axle for my project truck... (D44, Rockcrusher, 4.10s, Vanco Brakes, and a replacement locker). Then I just need to get my MJ D44 geared and rebuilt and I'll be good to go :thumbsup:

you realize that that is the wrong bolt pattern, right?

TJ Rubi shares the same 5 on 4.5" pattern as the MJ.

Sure does. The bolt pattern didn't change until 2007.
