I also saw on my build sheet today on crypto I have proximity door locks. At time of order I told dealer I didn't want it. Do I have to pay for this even though I didn't want it?...
I ordered a JLUR in July and Proximity locks were required at that time as well. You'll love them, very convenient.

Yes. The JL Rubicon has Dana 44 axles front and rear. The rear is a wide track.
Both front and rear Rubicon axles are the open diff wide 44's with lockers. They are 1.5" wider between wheel flanges, than the 44 lsd's in the Saharas and Sports.

Dana 44 is a family of axles. There are dozens of variations of D44s. M210 wide front and M220 wide rear are the basic Rubicon axles. If you opt for the XtremeRecon you get heavy duty versions with bigger brakes, thicker tubes, 4.56 gears and iron knuckles (similar to what you get on 392s for example).

In addition you can have U-joint or CV-joint for the front axle on the D44. So just on the JL/JT there are over a dozen variations.

Then there are D44 axles on things like F-150s, Broncos, you name it. Some radically different than the Rubicon - e.g. they are independent front suspension on the F-150/Bronco to name just one.
“basic rubicon axles” are also HD axles.

Same with me in July, had to be included in the build but it's now standard. You'll appreciate having it.

I'm often occupied, by many things, often at the same time
Rubicon includes: DJF/DRF
392 includes: DJF/DRF

These are the Dana axles available on four-door Jeep Wranglers:

So, Rubicon rear axles are the same as the Extreme Recon; front axle is HD on ER.
The 392 has DJF/DRF, which are the same as the Rubicon.

Does this mean all 2022 JLUR’s received the Dana 44 Gen 3 axle with the 10 mm thicker tubing and the only difference with the ER axel is the casted iron knuckles fond on the Mojave?

Those are an additional cost 695 when I ordered my 2021 JLUR, but don't order something you do not want-you may want to go to the build your own vehicle on the Jeep site.

I have a diesel Rubicon, non XR, so I realize I have wide axles, DRF rear, but how do I know which front?

So going by this the JLURXR has the strongest factory front axle of any wrangler. Kinda cool :)
