Solid Front & Rear Axles
- /shared/2009/wrangler_unlimited/capability/offroad/primary/undercarriage_story/axles_WRU09.jpg
Wrangler Unlimited's next-generation solid axles feature added durability and articulation thanks to a larger driveshaft, stiffer housing, larger pinion bearing and above-center pinion mounting. Tough axles and drivetrain. To increase structural stiffness and effectively double the sealing capability, the NV241 GII and NV241 OR transfer cases use 18 bolts.

Driveshaft
- /shared/2009/wrangler_unlimited/capability/offroad/primary/undercarriage_story/driveshafts_WRU09.jpg
Wrangler Unlimited’s axle shafts have been strengthened to more appropriately handle the higher torques (uses a large 1250 series joint). Driveshafts are harmonically quieter, thanks to increased bending stiffness and precise balancing.

- Crawl Ratios

Unlimited Rubicon has an incredible 73.3:1 crawl ratio, allowing for a controlled 0.5 mph cruise up the rocks. High crawl ratios keep you slow for more control on the rock.
The crawl ratio is the combined first gear x low range x axle ratio. The higher the number, the slower the vehicle will go. And driving slowly is the key to successful off-road driving, especially over rocks and rugged terrain. You’ll be able to see what they are driving over and tiptoe over obstacles with controlled authority.
- Monotube Shock Absorbers

Tuneable Monotube Shock Absorbers have a proprietary Low Speed Tunable (LST) valve technology that is firm at low speed for improved feel on the rocks and a relaxed feel at higher speed for optimum highway driving.
