This..... and good off-road tires, I bought Rubi take offs, a winch and learned to engage the lsd with the handbrake. It’s a world of difference.JLU sport here with the 6 speed.
I have been wheeling my JLU sport hard with the LSD for 13k miles. I have been very surprised with the performance. Also don’t forget the BLD system Is helping in the background. With a little bit of left foot braking and the LSD I haven't been stopped yet.
True. I think the trick with the new "improved" dana LSD is to change the oil quickly. I changed mine at around only 4,900 miles and the oil looked like black tar!! I then changed again at around 10,000 miles and it looked better, but still very dark. I will change again here in a few weeks when I reach 20,000.The jeep LSD will wear out in 30-30k miles. It's pretty worthless. The only saving grace is that I believe you get the Dana 44 rear axle for a very modest price.
Sorry, but I'm not understanding you. You say you bought Rubi Take-Offs, which would imply you don't have a LSD. The Rubi axles act as an "Open" differential, unless locked in.This..... and good off-road tires, I bought Rubi take offs, a winch and learned to engage the lsd with the handbrake.

I’m not rock crawling but in the mud, sand and snow.
"Rubi take-offs" meaning Rubicon wheels and tires.Sorry, but I'm not understanding you. You say you bought Rubi Take-Offs, which would imply you don't have a LSD. The Rubi axles act as an "Open" differential, unless locked in.
What is this "handbrake" you are referencing?
Not trying to be rude, just don't understand what you are talking about.

I had a 2020 sport that I would still be driving today but an F150 had plans for the Jeep. It had the limited slip and went anywhere I wanted to go. I ended up in a Rubicon because it was the only manual transmission Jeep available in my area. Between the BLD & off-road+ I have rarely had to use lockers.You may not need anything other than the BLD that comes with the jeep. Check out
and also the banned site way of life pipi project and watch eddie wheel his JL pippi in the rocks stock with crummy stock street tires. pretty impressive - of course he had great spotting, knows the area well, and has lots of experience.
