i had to fix me Exhaust manifold and i got one free (ended up getting 2 more also free)..... power steering pump free, d-shafts, control arms, starters, alts, and even 2 sets of axles and a tranny, all free.... the red lift shackles as you can see in the picture, those were also free.... so i get lucky sometimes but this axle was too nice to pass-up and $90 was more than a decent price

Problem was I did not have time to remove it because I was on my way to Mississippi for a job and knew there was no way it would still be there a week later when I came back through. Well I stopped anyway just to check and a short time later that baby was in the back of my work van headed for home. I still have not installed it yet because the MJs are spring under, so I will have to get new spring perches and shock mounts. But at least I got it before someone else did.

ya got a nice lookin pair of jeeps there and i think its cool that you can share the jeep hobby/life with your boys
