Pete M Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I want to say yes, but the guys at ring-pinion.com would know for sure. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Sorta... I don't know the full story on what they did. But they used a thick gearset on the rubi carriers. They are essentially the carrier ment for 3.92 and numerically lower gears (or where-ever that split is). I think the reasoning was so they all shipped with the same carrier or air locker. Basically it's a pile of garbage. You could use any D44 carrier and a thick gearset and do the same thing. But it's advantageous to simply buy the right carrier.

88swampedmj Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 or i could just get thick 5.13s and use that tj carrier right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I think it's just a standard carrier. I thought it was a rubi-con one or w/e. I don't know if the normal TJ carrier is a rubi style 'thick gearset' setup. I don't know anything about TJs. They are too expensive for me.

CWLONGSHOT Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 i found someone selling a d44 4.10 ring and pinion.. its out of a tj rear 44 not a rubicon.. could i use this carrier for the front of my waggy 44? and slap 5.13s on it? Your question is unclear...first you say you found a ring and pinion.....then you ask about a carrier... I THINK I understand. The carrier should work fine front or rear. Because as far as a D44 carrier is concerned, it doesn't know or care, what D44 axle it runs in. ;) As for it being the correct carrier for 5:13's. Cannot say for sure as I do not know if this is the same carrier the 4:10's came off of......see what I mean? IF you can confirm that this carrier originally ran with the 4:10's than YES it will work with the 5:13's as well. Like Dirty said RUBYs ran a "thick" gear set. This was to allow the use of a single carrier for all ratios the Wrangler was available in. It was a STD carrier for up to 3:55 (Or was that 3:73) gears .
