    Good work Devin that's awesome!

    My class is on what's called a swing schedule. While most of my company is in formation at 0445 and done with class by 4pm. I'm up at first formation at 0745 and don't start class til 5 but done at 1130pm. Bed check is 1am for us vs 9pm for the day guys.

    I just remember a discussion about how he "shoulda bought a rubi" But I am wondering what it takes to safely run 35s on either a sport or rubicon. I noticed eaton makes E lockers too for pretty cheap so I am just curious if it's way cheaper just to build a bse model Jk.

    Anyone know a good refrigerator repair man? I need to get a smaller wine/beer style fridge fixed and wanted a reputable name before just randomly calling some appliance repair shops.

    Sorry man haven't had to go there yet. Last time I called to get an LG authorized repair man for our washer the guy did nothing for an hour, giggled a part and it fixed the error. Then charged me $120 bucks. Error came back 6 months later and found the part online for $10 shipped and it took all of 5 minutes to fix it. What a rip off some repairmen can be. :mad:

    Yep, thats what im affraid of, because im assuming the compressor is bad and needs replaced. I wish i could replace it myself but it seems like its a bit more complicated than just unbolting it and re bolting in the new one.

    If you just want to run 35's all you need is 2.5'' lift and gears, some say that you need to re-rout the exhaust but I have talked to a few shops and they said it isnt really needed unless you have 4+ of lift.
    It wont be any cheaper to build a base to run 35's the differance is that the rubi comes with front and rear lockers and has push button disconnects. I think that the base comes with dana 35's instead of dana 44's too.

    lunch box lockers are always cheaper but can chew tires up on the streets if it is a daily driver,I would look at the spartan lockers if you like that type of locker.

    Cool, I figured it would come out the same. That eaton locker is electronic selectable that I saw. Too bad I can't get one for my tacoma since I am an LSD loser :tumbleweed:

    oh lol then go with the eaton selectable is where its at
    also I had to check this is for the 2012's but the rubi is the only one that comes with front and rear dana 44's
    all the rest come with dana 30 in the front and a dana 44 in the rear

    So how much beefier is a 44 than a 30 anyway? I see a lot of non rubicon jk running around on 33s and 35s. I guess if it never leaves the pavement there's nothing to worry about huh.

    Speaking of axles, What size are the axles on a stock 2006 TRD sport double cab v6 4x4?

    How about gear ratio?

    I have not heard much good about the 30. I guess it would depend on how much and how hard you plan to wheel it. If it is an MC I think you would be fine since there are quite a few of them out there already.
