Adam swapping shafts is easy. Especially a stocker for a stocker. As far as the metal clamp tearing the boot. When my boot went, I was the boot itself that tore. The metal clamp was still where Jeep intended it to be and it was on tight. Although The situation I was in that day it may have went from the mud and gravel I was stuck in. I still find piles of small gravel tucked in places it shouldn't be..

No doubt that physical contact will tear a boot - that's how I tore my rear.

Anyway, how eactly do i swap shafts? Just start unbolting? Anything to be careful of? Something that if done wrong, will be BAD! Something you'll later say: "oh yea, I forgot to tell you about that. oops. sorry."

Someone please explain why they haven't purchased this yet?!!?!?!?!!?
http://newjersey.craigslist.org/pts/1521841489.html
For those of you that don't want to click the link here's the summary
07+ JK rubicon Dana 44 complete STILL IN THE CRATE FROM JEEP!!
$1000 in NJ!!

Someone buy this now!!

No, it's not mine. Just happen to find it on CL while trolling.

If our JK Unlimited was my daily driver/trail rig, I would have this axle already, and would be posting pix of it under the truck. LOL

Good luck to whoever gets it first.
And you Better post pix!!!

You're welcome. :P

Sounds to good to be true. and the add doesnt even make sense :

I have a brand new in the crate oem Jeep Rubicon Front rear
What? i guess he means front rear end?

And they dont have air lockers in the stock rubi axels theyre electronic. Maybe the guy just doesnt know what he is talking about so it would be a steal of a deal if its a JK front dana 44. Wish i had the 4.10s so i could bolt it right in.

Yeah, this front end is $3k from Quadratec.
I guess he's taking a hell of a loss from it.
My buddies took a look at the photo and confirmed it was for an 07+ JK, not the TJ rubicon.
Obviously the owner doesn't know the JK's had electric lockers not air, but he did mention that it was for the most recent Jeeps.

Well, hopefully someone scoops it up quick.
Damn nice upgrade for dirt cheap

mopar was actually selling them for about 1500 when they first offered them.

But the price has since been doubled

That thing will go fast if it hasnt been sold already

I believe the $1500 was for the TJ version when they first started selling them.
I know it definitely went up after that.

Still a killer price on hopefully a legit deal.
