That would be a fantastic score. I don't know if the Rubicon has a
SYE from the factory or not, I don't know if the stock jeep rear
driveshaft has the same slip yoke as the stock Dakota either. I
think the reason that no Dakota owner has gone down this path is
because so few are actually wheeled. You've made me want to
investigate this seriously - it's a drastically simpler solution than
I've been hoping to accomplish (range box + NP205). I'm sure that
like so many other Jeep parts that Rubi case is worth it's weight in
platinum though.
