well, if it's from a 97-02, it's from a tj sahara. could be from either a sahara or a rubicon if it's from an 03-04. rubicon have 4.10 gears and an air locker and sahara usually had 3.73.
not to mention wranglers are coil sprung all around, so if you want this in your xj, you'd have to remove the coil buckets and weld on leaf spring perches, and weld on new shock mounts.
no matter what, you're gonna have lots of fab work to make it work.

and tj d44's are typically rediculously priced. how much?

i can do the fab work just woundering about the lenght of it and it should be from a sahara then and if its that then it should have abs on it right? the guy said it was 3.73 with limited slip and he said 200-250 bucks for it

sahara axle should have abs. it should work with your abs system.

good score if you're not worried about the fab work.

so i guess you're gonna change out the front gears to match the 3.73s?

no i have a dam gas hog wating for a rear axle soon as i get one in im going to 4.88 not going to put money in the 35. i got a hp dana 30 that needs a lower control arm bracket

$250??? sell that thing. you can get close to $1k for TJ44 rears. where did you find it?

snowboard3r411

lol i need it tho, some guy in the paper the reason why its 250 is because its in peices but it all there so i just have to build it which saves me the work anyway

sounds like a deal to me as long as you don't mind doing the fab work go a head and do it
