    Rubicon Locker Pump Function

    When you turn the locker switch off, the factory pump vents air out through its internal solenoid valve, releasing pressure and unlocking the differential. In short once you turn the switch to off its vents to the atmosphere.

    Rubicon Locker Pump Function

    When the switch is activated, the factory pumps turn on and build pressure up to around 5 psi, then automatically shut off. They’ll only cycle back on if the system loses pressure. You should hear the pump run for just a few seconds, then stop. If it keeps cycling on and off, that indicates an...

    Nikki's yellow throwback Jeep

    And here I was thinking holding onto my stock inner axles was overkill. A spare engine is a whole different level.

    Rubicon Axle Swap

    You'll likely need conversation joints or change out the yokes on the 44 to match what the 30/35 had. I'd look it up but I have minimal internet. If I recall correctly the 44 needs slightly smaller shafts than the 30/35 but don't quote me it's been awhile.

    Lonewolf's 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sport

    Ya the RCV broke on the bypass on a nothing climb while I was broken, stuck, and nearly flipped over to the right. Good times.

    It took me a bit longer than expected, but I finally got the new 4.88 ring and pinion and Eaton ELocker installed in the Jeep. I just took it on its maiden voyage — a Father's Day adventure with @Lonewolf to the first crossing of Fordyce. Originally, I planned to reuse the old gearset to save...

    Sounds about right. Moab is tough also because you don't know if it's a standard jeep line or a 42" 118" rear steer V8 buggy line. Especially when it's just a bit outside of where you belong. It's easy to get carried away when you see an excessive amount of rubber on lines you have no business on.

    Better to have bad luck off the trails than on I suppose.

    Not bad at all considering you were towing around a 7k, including the trailer, brick as far as aero goes. Other than the blow out I'm sure it was a much more relaxing drive. I bet it's also a bit of a stress relief that at the end of the trip you don't need to drive it home and can toss it...
