See I've thought about doing the bolt in 44 from the.....rubicon? But they all go for about 1k here and that's with an open diff, no factory locker. That's why for me, doing my own fab and polishing a 30 will get me for beef, and locker for the same price as a stock 44 which when a beefed up 30 is compared to a stock 44, they are about the same strength wise, only perk is my 30 will have a locker also lol
Atmos: I've thought about that but as ill be going full case locker, I shouldn't have to big of problem, especially as I know my jeep won't be seeing the same terrain as like yours which given, the 44, and such would be a good ideal axle for that tire size(35"-37")

All Rubicon's came from the factory with a full case locker

But it's not just the rubicon that came with the 44 front though right? I've seen a few 44 that said open diff. So I'm assuming there is another class wrangler that had them.
Atmos: no my price would come up to about 1k if I do the full case locker. Again mine will be from home fab and scrap metal, so basically the big cost will come from the gears, and locker. Everything else would be fairly cheap. But then again, I'm in no hurry so I can wait till I find a good price on used gears and lockers, find someone who'll set the gears for cheap, etc..... Like I said, if I was to go bigger then I would go for a 44 but by the time I'm done with mine, it'll be the same strength as a 44 stock with at least some better upgrades like a locker, gussets and truss, etc... All for about the same price as a stock 44

i totally understand that i'll never get what i put into my d30 out of it when or if i sell it but that goes along with everything we put on our rigs. The second it gets installed on there, it's worthless. But, if i use the pee out of it and have a bunch of fun with the setup then to me, it's worth any price. Defintily appreciate all the input here because it did it's job, made me think about it.
Still don't know which rout to take though
