Considering the JL was designed from the ground up to run 35s and both front and rear Dana 44 beefed up then wouldn’t it be logical that the diesel would have to be upgraded to Dana 60 for at least the rear and possibly front on Rubicon models. 400 plus torque with 35s with 4:10s and that 4:1 transfer case not going to put too much strain on the current M220?
Since it’s all about CAFE and diesels are considerably more efficient with weight than couldn’t an off-road purpose vehicle like the Rubicon get away with beefier axles that will handle that torque better yet still not negatively impact fleet mpg figures? I know I’m dreaming but since I am might as well dream big. JLUR with diesel rolling on Dana 60 and 37s out the factory door. Oh my.
