Re: ARB Rear Bumper/Tyre Carrier - Jeep Wrangler
Dunno, but I think the hubs are a bit of a weak point on the Wrangler. (cf
the Wagoneer's Dana 44 6 stud fully floaters and the TJs 5 on 4.5 semi-floating Dana 44).

Re: ARB Rear Bumper/Tyre Carrier - Jeep Wrangler
There is definitely more to it than just the vehicle weight - the
Commanche pickup was rated at something like 2000# with a manual tranny and 4.0 L engine, regardless of rear end. The same body with the D44 and manual had the same limit, but substituting an auto tranny brought you up to a 5000# limit. Now, I grant you that the 4.0 with a 3.07 differential ratio behind a manual transmission is not my idea of a fun thing to tow 5000# with but that much of a difference in what it is rated to tow is a bit suspicious. Put it in 4-LO and you could pull your house. On Sat, 7 Oct 2006 08:57:11 UTC "billy ray" <billy_ray@SPAMfuse.net> wrote: > The d44 doesn't change the wheelbase.
