'What' is a 'next generation' axle?
It's not that aluminum thing that can't hold it's own weight on a jack

Re: 08 Wrangler Changes?
Correct (obviously). One of the many standard equipment items that make a
Rubicon so expensive - and well worth it if you spend a lot of time off
road.
Just curious: what color did you get?

D44 was standard on Rubicons, optional on Sports & Saharas. That goes

Maybe the UK market was different. ;)
