There used to be some very long threads on JU about the Rubicon front Dana 44 axles.
It seems its not a true Dana 44 but a Dana 30 with a Dana 44 pumpkin. That's all fine and well but the weakness in a D30 is usually not the size of the ring and pinion gears but the axle ears and u-joints. They're just too small for lockers and serious rock crawling.
These new Rubicon owners were out doing trails like they see on TV and were busting axles right and left. Warranty? "You took it off road, how can we know it wasn't abused?"
Now these guys have to fork out a grand or so to install a Warn hub conversion with alloy axles or some other afer market axles like many of us non Rubi guys have had to do. That really sucks!
More Colorado!




Here's a link to some Colorado pictures from a trip my wife and I took last summer if you're interested. Feel free to poke around my FotoTime site.
