click on the locations tab, look for the ones close to you, this weekend is 1/2 price! A dana 44 with breaks on a half price weekend should be around $89.

Newark and North SJ have been ok for me, some say Oakland is ok sometimes too, but you will need to get there early.

and second... someone was mentioning a pick a part or something yard in either the san jose or sf bay areas that had a bunch of XJ's with Dana 44's... can anyone tell me which yard or yards these are? I want to my local Pick 'n Pull, and got skunked...

Last time Ed and I went to the one in Newark(two weeks ago?) they had at least two D44s.

I know it's half price weekend! that's why I went yesterday! I may head up to the bay area (maybe newark?) this weekend before the sale is over.

Way to go Taylor, now you should talk to Jes about his Ox Locker and Superior shafts.
Did you get it at Newark?

[tayman]

Got it at south San Jose. only one there
Hey Jes, how much you want for just the locker and shafts?
I'll even pull 'em for yah!

[tayman]

I gotta say: the braking is significantly better with the D44. I don't know if that has to do with the way the brakes are designed, having more pad, or if the D35's brakes were just bad, but the stopping power is definitely better. And my parking brake actually works!!!
