Rear D44 from a 03 rubi
« on: February 12, 2014, 10:12:00 PM »
Ive got a rear Dana 44 being swapped out of the Rubi I'm currently swapping parts into.  The only thing from it I will be taking are the brakes, maybe.  Ether case I was looking to get $1k for it if anyone is interested.  

It does come with 4.10 gears I believe and the locker.  Not sure of the other specs on shafts, spline count, etc but its a stock rear 44.  Will make a great upgrade for any of you sport guys and for much less than what a built 44 would cost.  I wouldn't even be swapping it but I have the G2 I ordered for my sport before I found the rubi.  Ill post up some pics when I can get p to ALLSOUTH and snap some photos while its up in the air.





fixed..

If it's the stock rubi rear end...

4.10 gear set

30 spline axle shafts

Air locker, but not ARB(jeeps tru-lock, best to use the stock air pump, the TJ rubi's used one for the front and one for the rear

Damn good locker.  

My TJ memory isn't so great but it is a great design.  

Limited slip when not locked if I remember correctly.  

Should work on 5 psi.  100psi like an ARB will blow the orings.

What year did they change the tj to the electric locker?

I ran this axle in my old TJ.  It was bolt-in replacement for the D35, although of course I needed a new rear DS.  I mounted the air pump in the engine compartment and ran the hose on the inside of the frame.  I also paid $1K for mine back then complete.

Doug your memory is fine for an older gentlemen  //LMAO//

LS when open and that is why I mentioned using the stock air pump...it's low pressure like you say.  The stock location was low, down over the TC skid and the air lines were somewhat susceptible to damage but they are easily relocated and if you are buying this axle you can just put the pump whereever you want.  Many put them in the engine bay.

This is good deal for someone

They are a Japanese made locker that runs off 5 psi. They went to the E locker when they came out with the JK.

Here is a write up on swapping it in.

I am taking the brakes.  That is all though everything else goes with the axle.

Had to reschedule my installation and swap but this should become available for pickup at the end of March.  Price is negotiable.
