The contests, which received thousands of entries, offered an Ultimate Dana 44™ front axle, a new, direct-fit product for Jeep® Wrangler® JK vehicles introduced at the 2015 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, with the winners’ choice of gear ratio. Illustrating how easy it is for a significant gain in performance, the KOH and EJS winners had their Ultimate Dana 44™ front axles installed onsite in under three hours.

  • SEMA Winner: Steve Egbert, Tulare, California
  • KOH Winner: Steve Kline, Ridgecrest, California
  • EJS Winner: Randy Wright, Arvada, Colorado

“There are other companies that offer what they call a ‘44’ axle for the Jeep JK, but only Dana delivers one hundred percent, genuine Dana,” said Doug Wolma, vice president and general manager, Dana Aftermarket Group. “And now, the Ultimate Dana 44™ axles take that legendary off-road performance a step further with many enhanced features.”
