Anyone know if this ever became a reality, is still in the works, or got $#!tcanned like most good concepts that never reach production?

Or maybe it wouldn't be worth it.

They're in prduction, but overseas only. I was webwheeling for info on JK axles swapped into TJs and came across the J8 Dana 60. Think people would be able to get a pair of crate axles - HP D44 front and D60 rear with the 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern and electric selectable lockers?

Not for what it would be worth for 99.99% of the JK wheelers. Now put that into a package for the TJ and there would be more bite.

That being said, you can get a stronger axle (my .02C anyway) with a super 44 kit and not have to do the modifications to your Rubi.
