Hey everyone. I have a 21 jeep gladiator sport S. (No lockers) Broke my rear axle shafts. I ordered yukon chromoly rear axle shafts ‎YA WD44JLNON-K. Some websites says it fits Dana 44 rear for both JL and JT non rubicon and some say it doesn’t. Its confusing
I can’t find any chromoly rear axle shafts in the market for non rubicon gladiator
did anybody replace his rear axle shafts?

I replaced the drive shafts on my JKU with Tom Woods shafts and was amazed at the quality. If i ever have to on the Jt they’re what ill go with.

Sorry no help on the question but I’d love to hear the story behind the question
Oh man. Uphill throttle, Broke my rear 5.38 revolution gears and most likely rear axle shafts are broken now too
I cant find any chromolys for non rubicon gladiators in the market
Luckily Revolution covered the gears under warranty

How the hell did you break gears AND both axles?????????????

You have a Sport S - is it a max tow or not? Max tow has the same width axles as the Rubicon,
Sport S without max tow would not.

I wondered - not too many break axles in these unless they are doing some of the most rad "adventures". Normally it's huge tires that help break axles (40s, perhaps?)
