Well Eric (96 XJ Sport) and I went out to pull-a-part today. Had some luck finding parts. He got a few spare axle shafts and I found a gas tank skid. But other than that most of the XJ's had been picked pretty clean.

Found another Junk yard and stopped off to have a look. Well found me another...

XJ Dana 44




Best part about it was I only paid

40 BUCKS

I seen it and then went to ask what they would charge if I pulled it. X-mas budget and all. I figured it would be over my 100 dollar limit. I was tickled ****less to say the least. He said how about 40 bucks and I said how about sold lol.

Thought I would share this my excitement with yall.

 

Nice find - make sure that Titanic looking artifact doesnt scratch the paint in the bed of that spiffy new truck!

edit: The axle is actually pretty freakin clean now that I look at it.

 

I wish we had pic and pull junk yards around my area Im looking for some dakota springs was quoted 90 dollars for the set is that a good price.

 

nice find, dont both your XJ ha a 44 in them already?

 

Yep now I get to build one to replace the other. I will eventually have a extra Dana 44 but it will be awhile. I like the idea of slowly cleaning it up and building a good axle while I am still driving my jeep around.

 

I would say congratulations on the D44 find, but at that price ll I can say is... well I can't say that on a family forum. Did you go to the PAP in Louisville?

 

I went by there but didn't find much. I found a lil JY that had a but load of Jeeps that I found it at. Can't tell my parts secrets online though. He He.

 

Were there any 97-01s on the lot? I need a heated passenger side mirror for the wifes 01. Some jerk thought it would be fun to hit it in a parking lot. Just broke the glass but still hard to find in the jys here.

 

YOU DOG.....

Nice score though.

 

Hell all I look for is Renix. Sorry. Next time I go I will see what years they have. I know there was a couple with cup holder center consoles and that is in the newer XJ's.

 

If you see one let me know and I will the get the cash to you for it.

 

Can't promise anything. PM me and I might remember lol

 

Killer find...........

 

why cant there be anything like this in the northeast? damn good deal

 

NICE!!
