I'm a fan of a built 88. but I say do whatevers cheaper. and since you're going to be doing some fab work I fully approve of this 44 swap
wont the eaton locker take care of the need for a new carrier tho? that's a big budget for a 44

 

I agree..quite a lot of money to dump into a 44.

Sell the 44 and the 8.8 and buy a 60.

 

FIFY

 

My $.02....

 

Yea..
Id just keep the 44 unless you plan on going like 37s and beating on it.
The 44 should do you just fine.

 

hmmm looks like the 44 is 4.10...

ring says...



wonder if I should just leave 'em in there.

 

Id go with whats on the ring..

 

I read the explorer xj44 disc thread on NAXJA, explorer brackets calipers, pads and retainer plate, teraflex retainer spacers, zj rotors, and zj prop spring. then some canoodling with hardlines and e-brakes. should be fun.

 

this also. 14b's, 9's and rear 60's are cheap here. its the price of the matching fronts that prohibit the extraction of cash from my wallet. guys want $1000 for bone stock hp 60's.

and I wanna daily drive it.

**** it. i'll build them both and sell them.

 

Id go ***** to the wall on the 44, truss, discs, gears, selectable locker, chromos, everything.. and wheel it.

Mild build the 8.8 and make $ on it.

 

5000 mile road trip? lol we'll meet half way then its only 2500.

 

Whoohoo road trip!! Lol I wish man would be fun to do
