but given that the 8.8 also comes factory with 4.10's, a limited slip, and disc brakes, this is what I would suggest also. you'll have to do fabrication whether you pick D44 or 8.8. might as well get the stronger and cheaper of the two

First of all what axle do you have in your Jeep? Because if you have a chrysler 8.25 all I would do is get 29spline shafts shipped over there. 29 spline 8.25 is almost as strong as a d44 and shipping on just the shafts shouldnt be that much. If you have a d35 then rather then spending this much cash on an axle that does not fit at all just get a 8.8 from an explorer. Never been to Africa but it seems to me like explorers are more abundant overseas then Jeeps.
do you know if the explorer axle is diff locked?

Thanks for the input guys, it's greatly appreciated.
Im gonna go with the Ford axle, it looks like it will be my best bet I also read up on the write-up Atmos did. I'll get these alot cheaper here as well.
I've done some research here as well and you get some of the newer explores and ranges which has got lockers on too which would be a added bonus.
