No matter what you want to change about your vehicle, chances are there’s a Jeep drivetrain part to suit your needs. Installing upgraded differentials and other drivetrain parts can offer a number of benefits including increased power, enhanced traction, impact resistance, oil capacity, and strength. This is your second to last chance to vote, so make it count. For the July vote, choose which Jeep differential you want installed on the Jeep JK: Detroit Differentials by Eaton, ARB, or Auburn Gear.

There’s a drivetrain part for just about any scenario. Did you add larger tires and now need to increase your power? A ring and pinion will do the job nicely. Or maybe you want to enhance your traction? Look to lockers for that extra bite. When you upgrade your axle shafts, the end result will be stronger Jeep parts that you won’t worry are going to shatter on you. Don’t forget enhanced differential covers to increase oil capacity and improve impact resistance. You can even get a little bit of all of the above plus some addition physical size by choosing an axle assembly.

Choose which Jeep drivetrain parts should be installed on the 2010 Jeep:

Detroit Truetrac Torque Biasing Differential & Rear Detroit Soft Locker

The unique operation characteristics and enhanced strength of the Detroit Differentials Truetrac limited slip makes it the ideal front axle traction device. This Jeep differential is guaranteed to never lock up on you. Driving in icy, muddy, or wet terrain presents the danger of wheel spin, but the Truetrac will split the torque so this doesn’t happen. We’re pairing this with the Detroit Differentials rear soft locker, which is built to take on severe off-road conditions.

Detroit Differentials Truetrac:

• Limited Slip
• Automatic Torque Biasing
• Clutchless Operation
• Use with 27 Spline Axles and 3.73 and up Gears

Detroit Differentials Soft Locker:

• Dana 44 Detroit Locker
• Automatic Locking
• Use with 3.73 and down Gear

ARB Front & Rear Air Lockers

Installing ARB air lockers in the front and rear actually converts the differential from a standard open style to a full spool type axle at the touch of a button. As a result, this pneumatic locking differential is able to use air to lock both axles and supply 100% power to both wheels, no matter how bad the terrain is. Best of all – you can control the ARB lockers from the inside of your Jeep with just the push of a button, though you will need to have an ARB onboard air compressor.

ARB Front Locker:

• Air Activated Selectable Locker
• Converts from Open Differential to Spool
• Push Button Operation
• Use with 27 Spline Axles and 3.73 and up Gears

ARB Rear Locker:

• Push Button Operation
• Use with 30 Spline Axles and 3.73 and down Gears

Auburn Gear ECTED Electrically Activated Front & Rear Lockers

If you can’t decide on just one type of differential, Auburn Gear ECTED front and rear lockers are what you need. ECTED stands for Electronically Controlled Traction Enhancing Differential. This means that you can switch between limited slip and spool options on the fly just by flicking a switch. Unlike other options, these Auburn Gear lockers use currents that are sent to electromagnetic coils, which then create a magnetic field that gives you the solid axle assembly you desire.

Auburn Gear Front Locker:

• Can Shift Modes on the Fly
• Dana 30 Manual Locker
• Use with 27 Spline Axles and 3.73 and up Gears

Auburn Gear Rear Locker:

• Can Shift Modes on the Fly

• G2 Axle Front &Rear Differential Covers: These upgraded G2 Axle differential covers will both cool your oil and increase the strength of your housing.

About Detroit Differentials by Eaton: For years, Detroit Locker Differentials paved its own road in the off-road industry. Now that it’s under the Eaton umbrella, they’ve taken it to the next level.

About ARB: By taking their own vehicles off-road, ARB was able to discover the deficiencies in differentials currently on the market so they can make their own products that much better.

About Auburn Gear: Auburn Gear has been working hard for almost 60 years to provide the best design, development, testing, and manufacturing of differentials to all types of international industries.

If you’re looking for some significant performance gains, a Jeep air intake system is one of the best. Not only will it increase your horsepower and torque, but it will also improve your gas mileage. For the June vote, choose which air intake you want installed on this 2010 Jeep: AIRAID, K&N, or aFe.

Last month we upgraded the exhaust so we could make sure that all the used air will be taken out of the Jeep as quickly as possible. The air intake system is the second part of this process; before you take the air out, you have to make sure you have the right Jeep parts to get the air in. Having a cool air intake system is incredibly beneficial because cooler air is denser, so more air can pass through the system much faster than before. The more air that gets to the engine to mix the fuel, the more combustion there will be and the more efficiently and powerfully your engine will run.

Choose which Jeep air intake should be installed on the Jeep JK:

AIRAID Cool Air Dam Intake System

The mandrel-formed tubing of these AIRAID intake systems are made with the best materials and top-notch production techniques. In addition to having a larger diameter than stock intakes, each AIRAID intake system is powder coated inside and out for a smoother airflow. This also makes it more durable and long lasting.

Benefits:

• Up to 30% more airflow over stock
• Horsepower Gain: 14
• Torque Gain: 24 lbs-ft
• Air Filter is washable and reusable

K&N Fuel Injection Performance Kit

This K&N intake system has a tube that’s specifically designed to be aerodynamic, and it comes with an oversized conical air filter. It gets more cool air to the engine by using a heat shield, which isolates the cool air from the warm. To back up their product, each air intake system comes with a million mile limited warranty.

Benefits:

• 26% more airflow over stock
• Up to 10% increase in power
• Estimated Horsepower Gain: 8.17 at 4807 RPM
• Air Filter is washable and reusable

aFe Stage 2 Cold Air Intake System

The aFe Stage 2 intake system traps heat in two ways: with a powder coated heat shield and a heat-insulating molded plastic tube. These work with the conical air filter to provide as much cool air as possible to the engine. Plus, each air filter is made out of 100% polyurethane so it will last through multiple cleaning cycles.

Benefits:

• 58% more airflow over stock
• Horsepower Gain: 6
• Torque Gain: 8 lbs-ft
• Air Filter is washable and reusable

We’re nearing the end of our contest, but that doesn’t mean we’re overlooking any of the details. In addition to the air filter that you choose, we’ll be installing Bestop HighRock 4×4 Replacement Mirrors as well. These are heavy-duty Jeep accessories that will hold up to the rigors of off-roading.

Getting ready to do some mudding? Heading out on a rock crawling trip? A heavy-duty set of tires and wheels will make sure you get through each leg of your trek with minimal problems. If you find a tread that really digs into the off-road terrain and a set of wheels that will stand up to brutal beatings, you know you’ve found a winning combination. For the April vote, choose which 1 of 3 Jeep tire & wheel packages will keep you rolling through any terrain: Pro Comp, BFG/KMC, or Dick Cepek.

Jeep tires and Jeep wheels are different from lift kits, winches, and other similar Jeep parts because they’re a necessity. Sure, those other Jeep accessories are a logical and very useful addition but, at the end of the day, you could do without them if you had to. But without tires and wheels, that Jeep isn’t going anywhere. In fact, if you stick with the stock tires and wheels, your case could be just as hopeless. Installing larger off-road tires and wheels will give you the clearance, grip, bite, and durability you need.

Choose which of these 3 Jeep tire & wheel packages should go on the JK:

Pro Comp Xtreme Mud Terrain Radial Tires & Xtreme Alloy Series 7028 Wheels
