Found one locally. From an 89 MJ, 3.55 gears, 150K miles, stamped numbers match the specifications. The guy wants $225 and will throw in a new Trac-Lok carrier that I will need when (if) I change gears to 4.10. Sound reasonable?

good deal reguardless....but make sure that spare carrier is for 4.10's. unless he bought it, it's probably not.

Don,

A Dana 44 for a Comanche out here with good brakes can fetch $300 or more, I think it is a good deal for you. If my MJ didn't come with the Dana 44 (when you start hitting $300-$400 range) I would just get the 8.8. I don't want to start a 44 VS 8.8 war, but my 44 has required some investment. I have had chronic axle seal leaks, until I bought the Alloy Usa Chromoly axle kit. I am not knocking the 44 just letting folks know my experience. You recently sold NOS Comanche tail lights for over $500, why don't you look at it as buying one NOS tail light. ;)

Good point Joe. :cheers:

 

And you have to ask us why Don? Rob L.

Kind of slow around here tonight. :yes: I've seen them go anywhere from $150-$650. Has 150K on it too, so the Trak-Lok is probably toast, but since the carrier goes with it, who cares?

I aughta slap you for even second guessing this Don. You almost bought a whole truck, just for the axle, and now you find the axle, sans truck, with extra parts and you want to nit-pick it?

 

Should already be at your house with it.

Got 'er home. Now the fun begins. :yes: No drums though; disks are going on this baby.

 

 

If you're disk-ing it Don, hang onto those drum parts, especially the backing plates. Them sunsabeotches ain't cheap......you might could help out a fellow Jeeper with them.
