Keep the Jeep and wheel it more. Also, buy a cheap beater sports car. SN95 Mustang GTs are a dime a dozen, cheap to mod, and if they break, parts are cheap.
The only axle seals I saw in there were in the differential housing. The only way I saw to get to them is to remove the cover, axles and drop the Diff to change them out. They are press in.
No need to open the diff.
Someone correct me if I get something wrong.
For the front axles.
1. Remove axle nut. If I remember correctly it’s a 36mm. The only thing I had to buy was this socket.
2. Remove wheels
3. Remove brake caliper and caliper brackets.
4. Remove Rotors
5. Unbolt wheel...
Oh, another thing I had issues with was diff fluid running from the rear all the way to the compressor. The rear breather didn’t flow enough. I got a breather from Autozone for a TJ Wrangler and haven’t had any problems since.
ARB lockers themselves are super reliable. The failures related to air lockers are usually related to everything that you need to make it work not the differential itself. Having to have a compressor, switches, and airlines adds more complexity and therefore more things to go wrong. It’s...
Over the ring isn’t a big deal to get set up. I did both front and rear lockers in my garage over a weekend.
Just be gentle and patient with the copper otherwise it’s fairly easy to break. Once you have it where you want it it’s good to go.
I’ve seen people try to go straight up through...
Thank you
The price on the wheels is decent, so I don’t feel too bad scraping them on rocks.
I wish Mopar would make a tan soft top though to kinda match.
I bought my gladiator Max tow last year new Here’s all that I’ve done with it.

Are you running stock wheels?
Do you have a stock bumper?
If not stock wheels how much back spacing do your wheels have?
With the spacers and rubicon springs you could probably clear a 35x12.5 with 5in or less of backspacing.
Gas or diesel?
Mine will hold gears longer now I’m on 35s, 4.10 gears and I live at 6000 feet elevation. I don’t worry about it too much. I figure it probably needs the additional torque to maintain speed.
