I went to pick up my new D44 f&r axles tuesday, so I drive the 1 1/2 hours to get there, and the guy had bad news, the person he was holding the axles for sold them to someone else the other day :evil:
He is the propriator of a jeep junk yard.
I was trading him a set of mint 1/2 doors, a grille gaurd, set of decent 31" mt on A.R.E. Nitro rims and all my spare parts plus $100 for a set of sick D 44 with moser axles and perches already set up for a YJ!
SO long story longer, I get there, and he gives me the bad news but he is a jeeper and knows my troubles (ex D30/D35 set up with 3.07's)
so, he tells me to keep the $150, and takes all the other part, gives me a D44 front with 4.11 right out of a SJ with all the steering! then gives me a D44 rear that has the perchs welded for a YJ, but is in pieces. He was in the process of building it for the guy who had the other parts. so he also gives me all the parts I need to put it back together, brand new axles, brand new drums, pretty new backing plates. and get this, 3 sets of ring and pinion, all are 4.11's with carriers and bearings, and yokes and all!
plus when I make the swap, he said he will give me $100 for my factory D30 D35!!!
Yeehaw!!!!
He was very honest and really did feel bad for the mistake. I think I am gonna just give him my axles for nothing cause I don't want them, and he already saved me a ton of $$ cause the new parts!
