I think that they will immediately take it back once they see my manual gear driving skills !
I hope that the car will be ready for tommorow, it will be a good time to test and see how it goes.

This is truly a TJ D44 front !
probably with a factory rubicon air locker which is coooool .... 4.10 with 31" and the bigger diameter ring gear will be amazing!
and if you got a D44 rear with 4.10 as well it has the airlocker as well !!!!
Commonly known as Tru Lok:
The front is part number "AirLoc", and the cost is $529.95. The rear is part number "AirLocr" and costs $679.95. Those are the Daimler-Chrysler parts, you will also need a pair of air pumps, part number 7938693926, price $159.00. (and two electrical switches and some air locker air hoses)
I never thought sharjah is importing TJ rubicon stuff or so many US rubicons on the streets ... **** mussaffah, especially our particular Jeep Junker there who is even more expensive than the dealership and is grabbing anything Jeep related in AD
Now get inner sleeves and C-gussets and 30 spline chromoly axle shafts with stronger u-joints and your front end is bomb proof!

Yes, the front one got a factory air locker. i have already ordered the air compressor to test and see if it still works.
Unfortunately, the rear is a normal one that doesn't come with a locker. it is an older Diff and honestly, it is not in a great shape.
The rear carrier, ring and pinion are showing some signs of wear. Therefore I'm planning to install an ARB (or chinese ?) Air locker with new ring, pinion and bearings kit sometime in the future. this way, I will have a front and rear lockers with minimum cost.
It was extremly hard to find the second Diff. But things there are much cheaper than Abu Dhabi. Here are some more pics of the Diffs.

There are currently getting cleaned and painted. After that, we will start the installation. If every thing goes according to plan, I hope to finish today before 12:00am.

After that I will start installing the WARN bumper and K&N air filter and that will be as much as I can do before the trip.
BTW, the CA mount was also fixed. The guys at Green did a great job they cost me AED800 but it was worth it.

Unfortunately, I don’t have many pictures of the process because it was dark and my phone camera couldn’t show anything other than a black screen.
They fixed the mount and then welded it back on three different locations using MIG weld. After that, they painted to cover the weld. Now, You can’t tell that the mount was welded as it looks exactly like the other one.

Sorry for not posting too many pictures and I promise that things will change once I take the car back to my home work shop.
See you guys on tomorrow's trip. Hopefully with a Jeep !
