drowns out most noise but be kind to your neighbors.-Hank.

Dana 44 axles are only expensive if you buy them later, not if you order a
new Wrangler Sport with the optional Dana 44 upgrade for less than $300.
You cannot buy the far better/stronger Dana 44 rear axle upgrade with the
'X' Wrangler though.

Even "weekend" warriors break the factory Dana 35c axle, it's CHEAP
insurance to upgrade to the stronger/better Dana 44 at the time the Wrangler
is bought new. It cost me $1200 to upgrade my breakage-prone Dana 35c to a
used Dana 44.

MTR's are very good offroad. They do wear a bit faster.

But not enough to worry about. My MT/Rs seem to be wearing very slowly,
more slowly than I thought they would. Their sidewall strength and offroad
traction on the rocks is nothing shy of outstanding.
