I knew it before I even watched it. Whoever writes these things for JKforum is a f**king idiot. That's a TJ. The stubshaft is required to keep preload on the wheelbearing. On a JK, all you need to do is pull the shaft and plug the tube. Go home editor, you're drunk.

This picture shows why the stub shaft is not needed on the JK hub:
Also, if you are going to install the rubber plug, you better clean out the axle tube. The tubes may be full of rust, pebbles, sand, etc.

So what are the chances we could install the JK hub into a TJ. Brakes would need to be addressed but if we're talking about getting off of the trail- is it possible?

Yep, true. I've got a JK and TJ with a few extra parts here and there so interchangeable parts would be a bonus.
In a perfect world, I'd be running the spyntec hubs on both jeeps so I could swap wheels all over.
