they only charged you only $80 for one at the junkyard???? around here they charge about $150-200 regardless of the axle. this one cost almost $200

yea, i think they took the ID plate thinking no one would tell its a d44 and the yoke because it wouldn't look complete or worth grabbing to most people. i bet whoever was gonna get it is gonna be surprised to find it gone

i dont see me needing a chromoly yoke so im proly just getting a stock replacement.

probally the missing ones are 8.25s which is a upgrade to the D35

naw im pretty sure they were D44s cuz they were all from 87 XJs with the full tow package which is what these D44s come from. also in 87 they didnt have the chrysler 8.25.

WIth a Tom woods hybrid joint.. but have a custom shaft built. It is money well spent. Bigger u-joint equals less chance of failure
