I am not sure what you're referring to. If he has an 07 with 4:10 gears and he takes the axle assembly from the wrecked Rubi, it too will have 4:10 gears and bolt up to his Jeep in less then 2 hours. It is a simple axle swap. As far as wiring the locker, there is a write up to add a relay and switch. Not bad at all.

 

That's what I was referring to, the gears have to match. Other than locker wiring, it will be fine...

 

Cool thank guys, I've got an 07 with 4.10's already. I plan on rehearing to 4.88's

 

??? WTF ???

The Transfer Case has nothing to do with the axles, the spline count of the shafts is also completely irrelevant. The Rubi 44 is 100% bolt on compatible to the sport/X Sahara.


The brakes are the same between all models and will bolt up to either housing, hell even the outer knuckles are the same and will bolt up.


As mentioned gearing is the only issue you may run into but if you have an 07 with 4.10's and the Rubi axle is still stock, your are good to go.

Wiring the locker should be fairly strait forward and instructions can be found online.


I swapped a Rubi 44 into my Sahara, although it was built different and no longer had the factory locker, it bolted right in with no issues.

 

I read that 4 times and thought the same thing thinking I was missing something that he was trying to explain

 

Is G2 making a JK bolt-in now? It isn't on their website.

 

Just the 60, no 44 yet.


They use the same 32sp outer shafts as well, different joints though.

 

Thanks! I just realized that was already said above. That was my initial thought but I wasn't 100% on it! Thanks battlefrog!

 

All I need to do is confirm that the 44 is 4.10's as well. I found the write up for the e locker, seems straight forward and simple. For some reason I was thinking there would be an issue with the splines but makes sense if the gears match, should bolt right up.
