JK Rubicon Dana 44 Axle Swap into Jeep Sahara - Saharacon Build

[@zachconroy1443]

Got some nice metalcloak parts with the new axels.

[@cvsahara]

Yeah, it was a heckuva bonus. The junkyard I got them from didn't care and didn't charge any more than normal

[@daleabbinante8729]

Did you upgrade your drivshafts to get rid of the high-speed joints

[@cvsahara]

@daleabbinante8729 no, still CV joints for now. I have done some mild wheeling at choccolocco and some backroom areas. If I decide to go any bigger I will invest in some ujoint style

How much did that axle cost you from the junkyard? Been considering doing the same thing for my 2013 JKU Sahara.

[@cvsahara]

@ChromeForDays prices are all over the place. I wound up getting front and rear for $3500. The guy tried to go up to 4k after we had already agreed to a price, paid a deposit and waited a significant time for him to get a good set in. After a long debate, he made good though and it worked out. I looked for a couple years and found them between 3500 and 5k for non modified ones. Check junkyards and I found a few sets at reasonable prices by calling shops that are known to do 1 ton/hemi swaps or high end offroad fab.

What exhaust are you running... just dual muffler or is it a cat back kit!!!? have you done any engine mods!!?

[@cvsahara]

@daleabbinante8729 just a cheap dual tip dynomax axle back kit. I'll be swapping it out to a single soon. The tips hang a little too low for my taste.

How did you wire in lockers? Have almost an identical jeep just a '13

[@cvsahara]

Check out the next video, I go through wiring

[@zachhosmer9208]

I saw that immediately after commenting thank you

[@ramonherver]

How did you reprogram your gears? I recently made a swap and can’t make work the gears =[

[@cvsahara]

@ramonherver I used the jscan app on my phone with a Bluetooth OBD scan dongle. It was really easy. It let's you adjust the ratios and tire size in the ECM

[@offroad1911]

The music isn’t need, I’d rather hear ya talk. Good video though.

[@cvsahara]

It's likely that there would be language that would demonitize me, LOL...

[@ChromeForDays]

@@cvsahara Or reduce the music volume by 15-20% to have it fade a little into the background.

[@daleabbinante8729]

Sorry not a fan of that bumper
