I have a 8.8 out of a 96 EXPLODER and it has everything from brake to brake but I was adding all the things I need to do a swap for my 8.25" and just wondered how much you really save by doing a JY swap VS. buying one built. I mean with the brackets and the the gears the new brakes etc... And a 44 is even more depending what it comes from. I just don't know what I should do go ahead and build the 8.8 or just sell it and put the money together for the parts I was going to buy and buy one already to go?

P.S. This is for the new XJ My Blue one already has a 44 in it.

 

for me part of the fun is doing the work my self
but if you have time restrains or don't have all the tools needed
buying one may be the way to go

 

Well no tools, time, ability,none of that is a prob I was more talking money.

 

I don't know what a pre built one would cost
if you did the math and it makes sense to by one over building one go for it
