Lower gearing puts more stress on the axle shafts and less on the rest of the drivetrain because it multiplies the torque at the ring and pinion. Torque is what kills drivetrain parts.

Yes had arb lockers in em

[@Mickale-Moranis]

Recommend another way to remove the axle nut...if you are going to use the lugs, put the nuts back on and use the crow bar against those and not the threads, and also use the ground rather than someone else...cause if a slip under pressure, someone may get hurt. Another way, keep the caliper bracket on, use a screwdriver in the vent of the rotor. Another way, you need to have ujoints, put large screwdriver through yoke/ujoint and press against the knuckle. Don't forget a pipe to add additional torque to remove the axle nut. Recommend anyone with a Wrangler or 4x4 with unit bearings, to loosen, anti-seize, and retorque their bolts before too long and everything gets rust-welded in. You really don't need that threaded bolt to hold the rotor. Its for during assembly line so rotor doesn't fall off. As for the JL 1pc inner shaft, you can see where the seal is located in the middle of the shaft on the outside of the FAD location. That is where the axle seal is located, not at the diff, like that of the driver's side. YJs, late model Wagoneers, and early modle XJs (and many Dodge trucks) had the FAD/CAD as well. JL is the only one where I see a 1pc inner shaft keeps the axle seal in stock location. When switching to 1 pc inner shaft on the mentioned Jeep vehicles, one has to add an axle seal on the inside the of the diff.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Yea.. I hate the fad... it is a weak point in the axle plain and simple... FCA should have done locking hubs... at least on the rubicon models... when we break these housings... I guarantee... it will be at the fad... Appreciate the tips... I’ll keep em in mind 🙌

Wonder why the driver side was more twisted though. That front upgrade seems like a good idea. I’m curious how my 4.88 gears will handle after they’re broke in on the trail. I don’t wheel as much as y’all do(jealous of y’all) but maybe that will prolong the axle till I can do my swap. Did y’all say prorock, or ultimate Dana 44? Awesome video once again from y’all!

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Just being careful pulling them will be ur best option to avoid breaking.. but mistakes happen lol. As far as why one side was more twisted the. The other? Tht really just depends on the level of traction.... 🤷‍♂️ lol We love to host u if u ever make it out our way 🙌🙌🙌

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Dana is the cheapest btw 😂 I’m not big on dynatrac.... because they use jk internals... being tht I spent $1400 on jl RCVs... not thrilled about having to buy new RCVs lol

[@Venom-kq5xz]

JL LIFE OFFROAD I’d be down to hang with y’all! My wife would keep reminding me like the sticker that some have: “remember, you gotta drive this back”. Just got my move to the mainland USA delayed because of the virus stuff so I’m hoping we’re still going to Arizona next.

[@Venom-kq5xz]

JL LIFE OFFROAD dam ya I’d want to move the internals to the new axle.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Has to happen sooner or later. When u do. U won’t be to far of a drive 🤷‍♂️ 😂

[@lifetomyyears1649]

Would I need to do this to my 2019 jl rubicon with 35's

[@mcoffroadinaz4075]

Really depends on you and your wheeling. If you are careful, maybe not. If you are an animal offroad, very possible.

[@80smxpro41]

No. You should be just fine with 35s on the 44s.

[@plamarche62]

No New 44 are good on 35 I am running 37 no problem

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Dana 44s should be able to handle 35s... granted series of unfortunate events can always happen.. Majority of people’s style of wheeling... u will be good 🙌🙌

[@raycabrera941]

What about heavy duty dana 44 axels with 4.10 max tow package on gladiator?

[@c130aviator]

Bro, you think 🤔 the passenger side was not as bad due to the fad system allowing play in the shaft? How did the fad collar fair in the abuse? Is it overly worn or twisted?

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

I think it was just lucky in the situations it was presented 😂 I hate the fad... it is ultimately the weak spot...

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

But to answer ur question... the fad collar. Looked fine... and was the least twisted side.... My biggest grip about the fad is how much weaker the housing is around it

[@c130aviator]

Is it weak because we think of it that way? Or is it weak because you see rampant destruction? Not sure its getting a fair deal. Not talking about the occasional break. You have had your rolling and hard at that. I have the dana 44 m210 in my sport gladdy. The shafts are beefy.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

I’m talking about the housing... all the housing breaks Iv seen (experienced 🤫) is at the fad....

[@guylongley1573]

Great update stock wont handle stock wheels when wheeling. You need some air tools but you got mighty Misty breaking bolts loose. Lol! Great video.

Thanks for looking out... I had them returned pretty quick... how piss poor of a job harbor freight been doing keeping their shops stocked... I just went somewhere else for the new set.. Glad ur install went smooth!

Are the tires rubbing the powder coat off the control arms?

They are.. we bought her wheels after installing her lift... it was enough to clear... as we kept going bigger tires, it started rubbing more and more... we need more backspacing... Misty don’t want spacers

🤔 wanna say around 7k... I’d need misty to verify thou

[@michaelhalstead64]

I was about ready to ask about RCVs and you beat me to it. Do you have RCVs on Bromance? If it was a D44, would you have justified the extra 500$ for the RCV? Also, does the yukon front shaft upgrade the U-joint or just the fact that the shaft is chromo? I thought I found a dana front that had a bigger u-joint but I might not have been looking at the right thing.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Yes.. I do have RCVs in bromance. If she had 44s we would have shelled out for rcvs for hers as well. I’m not to sure if the u joints are bigger.. I want to say it’s not... but currently not at home to check 😬😬😬

[@DieselDodge]

The Dana Spicer front chromoly replacement axle shafts come with a bigger upgraded spicer 1410 series axle ujoint for JL and JT. Yukon just uses the stock 1350 series spicer ujoint. So with the Dana you get upgraded shaft material as well as a larger ujoint than stock.

[@JLLIFEOFFROAD]

Good to know....
