So its an air locker. Hell I have no clue how to set up one of those. Hell really when you look at it no matter which on you go with its gonna be 1500 or so all said and done.
That's about the sum of it.

they are not that hard to setup, the difference between this one and the ARB is the pressure being low in the Rubi's case - it is a great option to have though.

See if you can get the pump with the rear end for 1100.

even if I do get them both for 1100 I still gotta pay someone who knows how to hook up the air locker stuff and I need to regear to 4.88s so that's more too.

I know I can do it but I don't have the money to do it all right now and I'm trying to get the beast ready for some wheeling next month.

The cheapest option would then be the TJ D44 or else find someone trading up.  There is a bit of welding just to get the control arms, track bar and coil buckets moved.  A gear change is going to add $200-800 just in labor for one axle.  So if you're going to regear do the axle swap nad have the new axles regeared so you're not doing it over again.

Honestly though, if you're not locked then just carry some spare shafts and spiders and then go have fun.  Just don't drive with your ham fists.

Just toss on some agressive tires and wheel it, if your stock, run 31's, it will work and get you on the trails.  Way to many people have this it must be built huge to wheel mentality and it's just stupid, my heep isn't significantly better on any trails now I'm SOA 3/4 eliptical in the rear, on 34's or 36's than what it was when I had worn out springs, that flexed well, sitting shorter than a stock Jeep on 31" MTs.  Yes I can run a couple harder obsticles, but all in all thats a very minor part of a wheeling day.

My whole thing is this. I want to be able to wheel with minimal breaking. I also want a nice looking jeep. it has 31 inch mts now. I don't like the look of it. Its too low and the tires look like babies. Now my original plan was 3 inches of lift and some 33s but everyone tells me I WILL break the d35 eventually. I want to eliminate breakage so I just assume spend a little more and do it right with a new axle. But hell then I was thinking if I'm gonna drop 1500 in an axle I might as well go with a bit bigger lift and some 35s. That's where I'm at now is trying to figure out the best route to go. I think I'm going to try and for now get an 8.8 with 4.10s and run that till I can upgrade the gears ad a locker. Does anybody know what year explorers the ones with 4.10s came from?

And there is the catch the 4:10s are alot harder to find in the 8.8. buy the Rubi axle and run the locker as a LSD until you can get the pump hooked up. it's a win win deal.

hmmm good point. The issue I have with that is that again I am new to this and also just moved to oklahoma 8 months ago and no clue where to look to find a rubicon axle around here and shopping online they are way too expensive. I found one here through a savage for 1100 with no pump or brakes. That seems pricey.
