    Installing Yukon WU-08 Hub Kit (Similar to WU-07 Also)

    There are two hub kits available for the Dana 30 from Yukon, the WU-07 and WU-08. Both are pretty spendy, 07 being just less than $1000, and the 08 right at $1450.

    V8 Hemi on stock SE axels

    Hello! I recently came across a Jeep I found very interesting and took for a test drive. It was a 1999 Wrangler SE with a V8 Hemi motor.
