Rubi front axle swap to a Mojave?

[The White Rabbit]

I know this is probably an ignorant question but would a Rubicon axle bolt up to a Mojave? For the obvious elocker and such………

Bump. No takers on this one?

In general yes it should be almost a straight bolt in with the noted E-locker cable and switch needed. Swaybar system, yad yad. Now the Mojave has stronger hubs than Rubicon or other JT's cast iron not aluminum.

Why not just put an air locker in the front?

Better off with another Eaton E Locker to match, but yes adding a locker to the front is going to cost significantly less

I’ll look into the Eaton, thanks

Check out rd245 ARB as well. I’m getting mine installed in about two weeks. You need an air compressor, but it can do double duty.

Will do

Now I guess it’s air lockers vs e lockers

I have seen some reasonably priced front JTR front axle assemblies and was wondering…………sounds like adding the lockers will be slightly more affordable though. Would be cool to have JTR stock setup and disconnects with OEM switches and all though.

Rubi diesel has the stronger cast iron.
Is the lower shock mount the same? If so, *should* bolt right in.

Edit: will have to regear it

Wait, do you know something I don't, because Eaton has told me no every time I've contacted them.
