I bought it off of Amazon. I grabbed a scratched and dented one for $17. The reviews aren't great because it attaches with tape but I saw a review that secures it with a zip tie that still looks clean so that's what I'm planning on doing for the long term. Ya the phone holder comes with it...

Added a little organization to the dash.

This group was definitely receptive and yes it does seem like the norm in jeep culture. My norm is going offroad solo with just my 2 sons in the backseat so when I do a group ride I rarely know anyone else in the group. I don't remember a time that I did not feel welcomed by a group that I met...

You're welcome. This is the only ride I've done with them but everyone I met was extremely friendly and welcoming. I would definitely suggest joining them for rides if you can. I plan to do more with the group in the future.

It was an organized ride that was hosted by Pennyrile Off Roaders. It is a facebook group. They just did 3 days on the Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway last weekend too. It is a pretty active group. You should look them up if you're on Facebook.

Very cool and very jealous! 👍😎👍

Here's the link for the axles I was looking at. They are the central indiana area. The guy quit talking to me after I asked him when he was available for me to look at them and if he'd allow me to take the diff covers off to inspect the gears...

I've decided not to buy them. I'll see if I can post the add in here. I agree that a 44 is a nice upgrade from the 30 but my new plan is to save some money and replace with a crate dana 44 when I need new tires in a few years.

I didn't think about the internals even getting surface rust if they had been sitting out for a while. 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for all the help guys! This is why I love this forum!! I've decided I'm just going to regear my current axles and save up for a new front dana 44 in the future.

That is my major concern too but the seller said they were removed because he upgraded to 1 tons. Attached is the pic from the sellers ad. They definitely do look a little rough compared to the axles on my jeep.

My issue I have is that I have the Dana 30 up front right now. The more I think about it I seem to be taking myself out of the Rubicon axles I was looking at and just regearing my stock axles for now. Then when I have the disposable funds I'll upgrade to an ultimate 44 or something along those...

I have an automatic. I'm currently on 35s and will be for at least probably 6-7 years because I just bought these 35s and I don't put a lot of miles on my jeep. I definitely like the idea of moving up to 37s if I had a front dana 44 but if I go to 37s I'll probably be back in this situation of...

Awesome information. Thanks for the help! 👍

I'm very much new to everything that has to do with differential gears. What would play or no play indicate in a check like that?

Ok I will try that when I go look at them. Thanks for the info!

No the seller says they are in great condition. He said they were removed to swap 1 tons under his jeep so they are no longer on his jeep. They are whole, brakes, control arms and everything else just no long on the jeep.

I do plan on inspecting them very closely but with that being said I've never bought axles before. My big concern is that they are straight and that the gears are not tore up. I figure I can pop the diff covers off and look at the teeth to make sure there aren't any chips or broken teeth. Does...

I was going to regear my axles to 4.56 and the axles I found have the stock Rubicon 4.10. My thought right now is going from 3.21 to 4.10 would be good and and Dana 44 up front might let me go 37" tires in the future.

I recently got a quote for a regear and a rear locker for my JKU Sport but then I found some used JK Rubicon axles. The used axles would be about $1000 more than the regear. What would you do?

It takes effort to keep it that shiny! 🤣
