rubicon gears in scout 44

[mike4089]

will the stock rubicon gears from a tj go into a scout 44...some people say yes some say no...

Rubicon 4.10:1 gears are a thick gear so you will need the small gear carrier, 3.73:1 and numerically lower.  The gears also use a larger bolt, 7/16".  So you will have to ream out the 3/8" hole in the carrier and get new bolts.

I have some gears I'm planning on using in a spool when the time comes.

This info was given to me by Kevin at 4wheelersSupply.com

Hope this helps,

You will also need a dana 50 pinion seal.  I think mine was $10.  I just put rubicon locker and gears in a chevy 44.

I'm not sure, but I think the pinion seal change only affects housings in 2001 and later model vehicles.  If you are putting the gears in an older housing I think the regular D44 seal would work with the rubi gears.
