Another What's it worth thread??

 

I found a 1991 Pioneer Metric Ton 2WD automatic for sale for $700. The drivers side of the bed is rotton, and the passengers side rocker panel has a large hole. Floor looks pretty good.

 

Jeep has 168,000 on it.

 

Is $700 to much for a 2WD with D44 in that condition??

 

I'm thinking 4WD conversion, with Rough Country AAL Lift, and some 30" Mud Slingers with a snow plow mounted to the front.

 

What gear ratio is in this?? 4.10 or 3.55???

I'd buy it for $500 if the cab was 100%. Surface rust is fine, but an holes in the florr, rockers, or cab corners would be a big no-no.

I've seen just D44s go for more than that.

 

If the body is somewhat decent and it runs fine, I'd say get it.

 

3.73 is a possibility too, I believe.

i'd probably go as high as $400.

Gears in the Dana 44 tend to follow the same rules as the 35. So if it's a 4.0L/auto, it'll likely have 3.55s. But since so much time has passed, it's always a good idea to check and not assume.

currently on ebay there are 2 d44's ranging from 350 -500. so there is your starting point. A running vehicle is worth 500 bucks if the tires are round and hold air. I would buy it if it is something I could use for its intended purpose.

 

 

 

As for converting a 2wd to 4wd. Not a lot of work if you have a complete parts rig, but you have to ask yourself "can I find a 4x4 MJ in my area for less then it would cost to convert this one?" I found a nice one in my area for less then what you are willing to pay for the 2wd one.

Not even worth asking yourself that. Look for a 4x4 XJ parts donor. Easier to come by, and probably cheaper. Converting is fun!
