I vote Dynatrac or TF 44, but just to let you know. A complete Rubi 44 with 4.10 gears and Elocker, brake to brake, is only $3100 +/- delivery charges. All you would have to do is regear.

For my $4k (which I dont have right now) I would do a Prorock complete with everything you want and just add the locker later.

Thats true, but I would also need the poly tb bracket welded on to accommodate my flip kit, gussets/truss, pp bjs, then regear. For all that work, I would rather run the empty PR44 housing and add the internals later on.. Not a bad option tho, and I will consider it if I'm way off on replacement.

Poly makes a bolt on bracket for $100, that and a regear will get you running and wheeling.

What you WANT is poly BJs, gussets/truss, etc. They are nice to have but not needed initially. Dont get me wrong, I am not calling you out, just saying you can be up and wheeling on a 44 for under your 4k budget, then you can add as you go.

I still vote for a running PR 44 with no locker for under 4k then addind the locker later.
