isuzu rodeo dana44

ok, is anyone using or heard of someone using a dana44 from a rodeo. i think it is 60.5" wide, correct me if im wrong. i believe is has 4.27s which is of no use unless i can get 4.27s for my d30. i know that some scouts IIs came with 4.27s. im open to any input.

Early and mid 90's 6 cylinder Rodeo's and Passports had dana 44's that were somewhere around 58" wms. Late 90's rodeos and passports had 44's that were 60 - 60.5" WMS.

My late 90's measured to 60.5" wms and cames with 4.27's and a limited slip. According to Randy's website, you can get 4.27's for you dana 30. (Clicky )

HOWEVER, these axles have a 6x5.5 bolt pattern. You can however get a custom set of alloys made in 5x4.5 and then you'll be set.

edit: We just did a big long post about this within the last 3 days... look back a few pages for info on the best swap options including the rodeo 44.

not all D44s are the same. These pics compare the XJ and Rodeo center sections. The XJ D44 looks stronger to me.

cheers
