Re: Drivetrain Vibration while not Under Load?

Drivetrain Vibration while not Under Load?

Has anyone ever had an issue where the drivetrain has a vibration when not on the gas, or not on the brake? Both of those things put the drivetrain under load. When coasting it's not under load, and that's when the vibration starts. I got the jeep back from Offroad Elements and it was perfect for th...

Re: New guy buid

So you're starting with dana 44 front and rear ? What are they out of? They were pulled from a 2010 Rubicon. They are the OEM Rubi axles and internals (Dana 44 front and rear). I'm adding Trusses and other reinforcements to make them "mostly" Bomb proof. They aren't 1 ton, but with the re...

Re: New guy buid

I'm literally getting mine built as we speak. JKU, but what is the starting point? Is it a Sport, Sahara, or a Rubicon? I literally am in the middle of my Axle change/upgrade. I have a 2013 Sport, and the upgrade is kinda being forced on me because of a detonated rear end that happened driving down ...

Re: Desperate need for some Rubicon pull outs (13-17 JK)

Just got the Labor Estimate.. ~4.7K!
20 Hours = 3K for the installation of the Axles, and removal of the others (sending the D30 back to me, so I can try to sell it), 7 hours = 1.4K for the Welding and axle prep ($200/hour... I'm in the WRONG Business!!).
another $500 in Alignment and misc...
