The "TL;DR" (Too Long; Didn't Read): Clean, low-mileage Texas Gladiator built with zero-compromise parts. This isn't a "budget" build; it features Mopar factory-engineered upgrades, premium RockHard4x4 armor, and a Rubicon leather interior. Meticulously maintained with a full handwritten logbook...
Thank you for following up. As someone already pointed out, the splines on the axles don't need to match the splines on the LSD or locking differential spline count, per my original misunderstanding. This makes things much easier if I want to move forward with a regear!
It seems that about any Gladiator Rubicon axles I find on marketplace are almost all around +/-$3,400. Not sure if COVID has really increased prices this bad, or if people are just looking to get rich from their discarded parts, per the usual.
If anyone has bought these axles since 2023, or...
Correct. The reheated/aftermarket set all seem to come with 28. However, I am seeing nothing for LSDs that will work with Dana 44s that have 28 splines.
This surprises me, because I cannot be the first person to ever want to add a LSD to a regeared Gladiator.
Coming on just to say you doubt I am correct about the thread I started? That’s not very helpful of you. Maybe I was unclear when I said I am looking to regear. I would need lockers or LSDs that would work with the spline count of the incoming aftermarket ring/pinion.
I am talking regearing...
Tracking that, thank you. The reasons I’d want a regear instead are:
1. Warranty/peace of mind would be nice. I’d be upset to get home and realize someone sold me something incompatible, but MORE because
2. Despite living in Houston, I am not seeing much in terms of axles on marketplace. It...
They do come with 32 for non-Rubi/tow variants, but I am talking about after regearing. Most gears I see online have 28 spline. So, it’s not a want as much as it appears to be a necessity after regearing.
While looking to regear my Sport S (open 3.73s) to a 28-spline gear set, I wanted to add some combo of limited slip diffs or a locker and LSD to the truck. LSDs preferably, as I no longer wheel much and the fully-locking options are about double the price.
I’ve since found that the 4.56 or...
