Title: TJ Axle rebuild kit (Talk to me about the best kits)
Post by: Cockney Boy on December 28, 2012, 04:38:34 PM

The time has come to give the front and rear Axles on the TJ some TLC (Bubba, your already earmarked to do the job so please let Ali know im on a diet)

Ive seen loads of re-build kits available on the market, but can anyone recommend a decent kit for the 30 and 44? Looking at all bearings and seals. Also im running TruTracks front and rear (dont think this will make a difference)
