pingpong Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Well as I keep upgrading my Jeep, I keep ending up with spare parts. I have never asked for advice on parts before, cause they have always been parts I bought used, and sold for close to what I paid for them. I am getting ready to go to full widths here in the next few months, and I was wondering what the consensus on my current axle setup worth would be. here is the setup. D30 with Terra flex hi steer knuckle, Yukon alloy shafts with 760 u-joints, Lockright, with 4.10 gears. It also has LCA skids, truss on the passenger side uppper mount, and a modified warn diff cover. Steering links are 1.5x1/4 wall dom with 1tonChevy TRE, and the aluminum drag link from terra as well. All these parts have are less then a yr old except the axle housing itself. The rear is a 97 8.8, that is lincoln locked, it has a BTF diff cover, and spider trax wheel spacers. the spring perches are 3x2x1/4 wall tubing, and the tubes have been welded to the pumpkin. More then likely I wil be also selling the 35's with 50 -60% tread on beat down cragar soft 8's. That are dynamically balanced using air soft pellets. So basically the new owner would get everything, except a lift kit, to wheel the piss out of. I am going to try and sell them as a set, hopefully to a MJ owner who is going to use them for what they were built for. The reason for me going to bigger axles is so I can run bigger tires. I want to move up to 38's, at least till I get the money for a hp60. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 You mean no one has an opinion on what these are worth? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'll vote for 500-1000, with $750 springing to mind. The thing that turns me off is the lincoln lock on the 8.8. I wasn't including the tires in that thought. Just axles and steering. If I had the cash I'd buy'em, but I'm broke, and the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 Shanging it back to a LSD or a open diff is as easy as telling me that is what you want. The LSd carrier might be a lil harder to get a hold of, but the open carrier is realtively cheap. I would install the new carrier if that was really a sticking point. But for 750, I think I will hold onto the axles. I did the math, and the parts alone in the front axle total over 1500. Thats not including the rear axle, or the rims and tires.

Eagle Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I really haven't a clue what they are worth. I agree that the Lincoln locker is not a selling point, it's a big demerit. And I cannot see anyone paying anywhere close to $1500 for a pair of used axles for an MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
