Im tring to get an idea how long the stock rubi axles and elockers last when running 37s before failing. If you have this combo or at least 37s and stock elocker post you miles and any issues you have had regarding the diffs. Please only post if you wheel I dont care if you have a ton of freeway miles... I want reports mostly from wheeling wear and tear.

 

My rear locker lasted 6 wheeling trips after going to 38's before having issues last weekend...now locks when stopped, but won't hold under power or when under stress from turning. Got an appt Tuesday to have it checked out. And I am a VERY light-on-the-pedal wheeler.

I don't run 37's anymore, but I did until about 28,000 miles on my '07 JKU Rubi. I wheel the Jeep hard - it is not a daily driver. Never had a problem with the factory e-lockers while on 37 BFG KM2's. When I jumped to 39 Krawlers (and got a Hemi) I busted the rear e-locker, but only because the rear pinion broke and went inside the pumpkin and took out the locker.

Regarding stock axles, I did have them in the rear and never had a problem while I was on 37's. Again, when I jumped to 39's, I twisted both rear stock axles. My son, running heavier 37 Toyos, bent his stock rear axle flange, but otherwise was fine.

 

Well that pretty much answers my question. Thank you .I have read that the lockers stretch out after awhile when running 37s so I was trying to get a idea how long they will last under those conditions.

 

Sooooo, your going with 37's, right?

I am!

 

I want too ..dam it. I just know its going to be a pain in the ass with all the problems. Lockers gears axels bearings ....but 37s are just a bad ass size.
