Too much money IMHO, keep looking and I'll bet you find one cheaper...Tj

Well...why not ask him what it is out of....??? Is it that hard? That will help you find out if it will work in your XJ.

With a Detroit locker and 4.88 gears thought? To find one cheaper with that already installed is somewhat of a stretch in my opinion.

It is offset but is a spring over set up. With the gears and a locker already installed it would be worth it provided everything is in good condition and it is ready for a XJ.

I recently bought a D44 from an XJ. Mine looks like the shock mounts are further apart and the drums look a bit different then the one you are considering. I picked mine up for $200.00 dollars from a guy on Craigslist who was asking $300.00. It was complete drum to drum although I know it needs new brakes and axle seals do to it just sitting so long. It came with 3:54 stock gears / open carrier. I just ordered an Aussie Locker for it and the D30 up front today and can't wait to get them installed. The two Aussie lockers with shipping cost $502.00. Offer him less and see what he says!

Yea let us know what he says, it looks weird but I think it will work with some work. If it can fit see if he will take $400 and it would be a great deal with 4.88 and a locker plus install! Great deal IMO!

It could'nt be a Dana 20 axle. The Dana 20 is a tcase, the rear axle you are thinking of is a AMC Model 20 and that is not one of them.
