If you do, let me know. I might want your wheels (cuz they aren't gonna fit on those bad boys).

Ya there would be a lot of work & money involved! My wheels were dirt cheap at $56 a piece from 4wheelparts!

Try this Ryan, I think this is where I went. Sorry the e-mail addy did'nt work, I gave you the one they responded from, I imagine that might have something to do with you not getting a reply. It only took me about two days from first contact and that was due to them responding back asking for proof of ownership. www.chrysler.com search "customer service"-go on contact us-click on I need customer assistance-then on send us an e-mail. I'm pretty sure thats the route I took. Good luck and let us know what you find.

Thats odd, as far as customer service goes I was impressed, they even told me in the e-mail to feel free to contact them if I needed anything else.

yea it does... i have a buddy that is taking a full0width D44 from an older Ford, (its the good D44 without cast wedges) and fiting it to his 97.. it looks bada$$ and strong... deffinitely not a task for the average jeeper.. he built the coil buckets and control arm mounts himself.....
its taken him more than 2 months now to do so but his rig is a BEAST!!!!!!

Rubicon D44's are a direct swap.
Grand Waggy 44's fit with a bracket kit welded on.

Or you can narrow a Ford HP D44 (with welded on wedges), build your own truss, weld on some bracketry and inner C's that you scrounged from a donor D30, transfer your WJ knuckles and big fookin' brakes, build your own steering, drop in some new gears and an Eaton E-Locker....

Hope these pics work....
