Re: Hubs on rear axle?
Let me understand, you want to put hubs onthe back so your GF can drive your
Jeep?
To answer your question, yes you can put hubs on the back. This is called a
Full Floating Rear End. The idea is more for flat towing and in case an axle
breaks you can unlock that hub to preserve any other stuff, and the tire
will remain connected to the axle housing so you can drive out.

Re: Hubs on rear axle?
The other nice thing is that if you do break an axle, the wheel stays put.

Re: Hubs on rear axle?
From what I understand if the d44 breaks an axle it will stay put cuz of
some plate on the end of the axle? But now you have me wondering, if you
have the hubs on a d35c would that make the axle/wheel stay on when you
break a shaft instead of having to do the log wheel trick?
