I'm gonna ask this because I don't know. what is the difference between having the seals on the inside edge of the shafts vs. outside? besides the obvious of the inner seals leaving the tubes dry which would cause the corrosion you spoke about.
and just for info, I have had mine through...
Dave, mine is Rubicon but I think the axles are the same between max tow and rubicon just without the lockers. but I'm an IT guy who just enjoys doing his own work, so dont hold me to that :)
Dave, I did not use an inner seal. just the outer seals. I also removed my FAD and put the RCV block plate on it.
i would have preferred to use inner seals but couldn't find any that fit.

two days at Hot Springs ORV park in Arkansas and 2.5 days at Moab and no issues with the install! drove 18 hours to work in north central Utah before going wheeling in Moab for the weekend.

" So, to recap, the Rubicon package’s front axle is the wide-track third-gen Dana 44 front with 10mm axle tubes, aluminum steering knuckles, 4.10 gears, and Tru-Lok electric locking differential. The Mojave package’s front axle is the wide-track third-gen Dana 44 front with...
first off-road trip to Hot Springs ORV park last week. ran some pretty difficult trails with out any issues. going to Moab next week so it'll be a good test on everything.
Nice. Love the camera angles. I’m horrible about getting the right angles and remembering to turn the GoPro back on. Here is one from this post weekend. I forgot to turn camera back on for last piece of the trail.....
Or not, it’s to large to post it.... keep sending them. Hoping it’ll give me...
So far everything is good. Going on my first offroad trip this weekend to test everything out. Added 39” BFG KM3s last week. No issues with daily driving.
over the last week, so not really today, but....
35 spline rear axle shafts
35 spline RCV front shafts
ARB front/rear 35 spline air lockers
5.38 gears ( in prep for 40" tires)
Teraflex Delta Brake kit
DRings on factory steel bumper
chopped rear fenders
bushwhacker wind deflector
coming soon...
Well, ran buy the kinda local Yukon warehouse today. Grabbed seals that were as close as we could find and they don’t fit...
reached out to SealsIt and ordered another set late today. They’ll ship out on Monday to be here Tuesday.
When I finally find the correct ones I’ll post the part numbers...
If you keep the factory lockers you can get their 32 spline model, with or without the FAD. My factory locker is dead and I don’t want a full axle swap due to other upgrades to it.
