Rubicon fronts are on backorder, but 10 of them should ship from the supplier on June 28th. One of them should be mine. We should see mid July.

Thanks for the info. I ordered the CoolTech JK Switch Mount and I am looking at the 12voltguy.com for covered switches to put in it and also their relays and relay holders. I have heard conficting stories. Do the the axle upgrades come with the axle shafts or not?

Thanks in Advance,
Pete

If you use the right part numbers, the axles should be complete. They also include rotors and calipers. P5153825 Jeep Rubicon Front Axle Assembly,. Locking Differential:

I ordered the front and rear today. Mopar has them in stock and they should be here late next week. I am going the direct wire route.

Not too bad really on the pricing....especially from a dealer. Throw in an Atlas or other twin stick TC, and you are breaking even....maybe a little over the Price of a Rubi....depending on what you started with anyway. Of course, you could spend a bit more and do a D60/14B or something...weeeeeee.....the possibilities are only as endless as your bank account.
