CEThomas Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 If you replace the rear D35 axle on you MJ what is a good one to get. Noticed the local yard has some Ford 3.55 rear axles out of mid to late 90's Explorers for $69 Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Try to get a newer 8.8 with disk brakes. Or a 44 from a MJ/XJ or an AMC 20 from a MJ(hard to find). Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOMJ87 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 :headpop: :mad: :hateputers: I hate that I am prob gonna pay 250 or so and have to pull it. I wish I could find such a ggod deal but i have searched everywhere close and nothing that cheap. Hell the locals want 400 or 500 depending on what year. :eek: That is nuts for an axle when you can buy a complete one with a detriot and all for that from the guys on local forums. I am so frustrated with this searching and crap. But I will have some money around mid summer due to a 4 month trip to a really hot area of the world. ;) Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I can hook you up with a lincoln locked 8.8 all ready setup with spacers and everything, along with a BTF diff cover for the right price :brows: It can also include a used LSD that is not welded up :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOMJ87 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 The prob is I don't have anything but my manche and the 2.5 with 4.10s riding on 35s does not like the highway to good plus I don't think my motor has that many miles till death left. :oops: And your right It could be a chunl of money to be made if I could get them.
