Default Hello guys from so cal

Hello fellow jeep owners. I am a future jk owner and i have found great information on this site. I was just wondering is there an axle difference between the X model and the rubicon model?

Welcome! Fish is right on. All the Jeeps now come with a 44 rear and a 30 front unless you get a Rubicon, which has 44's front and rear. The Rubicon also has a little heavier duty axles in its rear than a non Rubi model with the 44 rear.

Welcome. Also the Rubi has 4:10 ratio vs 3:73 (with towing package) on the X. Of course the gas mileage is a bit better with the X because of this.
