So, I am thinking about getting the 8.8 rear end for the XJ and I was wandering what ya'll would think if i was to buy a 98 explorer and just pull the axle then scrap the rest of the vehicle... good idea? bad? ehh.....

 

How much would you be paying for the exploder?

 

unless you are getting the whole explorer for the price of the rear axle ($200ish) theres no way I would would get the whole thing

 

I dont know how much I would be paying for the explorer...

 

so even if I was to scrap it, you dont think it would be such a good idea??

 

if your ready to spend that much, just buy this:

Its freaking expensive but if you got the cash you can select everything you want for your axle. Everything from the gear ratio to lockers if you want them. The company will build the axle for you. Or go to the junkyard and find an Exploder and do it yourself.

 

wow sweet! thanks man

 

yep, no problem. I thought that site was pretty cool too. If im ever able to spend that kind of money on the jeep I would totally get a 8.8 built for my zj.
