Default rubi complete axle assemblies

if i were to get a new rubi and pull the brand new front and rear axle assemblies out and replace them with D60's, what would you think the rubi d44's are worth when i sell them ? i would sell them complete with oem elockers.

Just curious...why would you hack up a new Rubi? If you're going to put in D60's, why not get a Sport?

The Transfer case and warranty. Plus some option are only available on the Ruby.

I think you are correct with your comment. I wasn't sure if This made any financial sense at all? Any idea on the value of the rubi 44s?

Thanks

I'd give you $2K and help pull them out and help install your D60's if you were local. $2500 if they were already out of your JK ready for me to haul them away.

Would this JK replace your 2009, or are you adding another one to the stable. If you are replacing it I think it would likely be cheaper just to overhaul your current one. I wouldn't exactly count on the warranty, assuming you put the D60s to good use.

It would be to replace the 09. Definitely going to be cheaper upgrading my current jeep. I was just wondering if their was much of a demand for stock rubi 44's. I am going to regear and add lockers to my 30/44 setup. I do not have the need for 60 at all unfortunately. Thanks for the help.

In early 2007, I bought a complete Rubicon front axle through Mopar Performance for $1,400 shipped. Those prices didn't last long though and they jacked the retail up to $2800 without outer knuckles for the front. The rear was about $100 less. I would think you might get $1500 each if they are in new condition.
