Default TJ Dana 44 Locker

I was doing some looking around and realized that the TJ Rubicon’s came with a Dana 44 with a locker. I was wondering if the locker from one would work in an XJ Dana 44. I dont see why it wouldn’t but since I’m still new to this I figured I’d ask.

Physically they will work. The front TJ Rubi locker is OK. The rear normally fails. You will also need get the factory pump or be able to regulate it down. Personally unless you can get the locker for free it isn't worth it.

If you have one and want to use it, go for it. You have to drill the XJ housing for the air line but you have to do that for just about every other selectable locker (OX being the exception).

If I were specifically looking to upgrade my D44, I wouldn't seek out a Rubicon locker. I would go with something like an E-Locker or ARB.

Skip it and get a Detroit or Grizzly locker if you want something reliable.
