Axle question

[Onetype]

Sorry if this is the wrong section for this, wasnt too sure. Im trying to help my brother find a tj. Hes looking at one at a dealership near Fort Riley where hes stationed. The ad says its got a d60 rear but the owner says hes not positive. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me? Thanks.

Looks like a Ford 8.8

X2 on the 8.8

Its a good axle, but try and talk him down as its not a D60

i got an 8.8, so im positive thats what it is

Tell your buddy he has a better chance of getting a fair deal on craigslist or somewhere else. Car dealerships close to military bases are notorious for screwing GI's buying cars.

He found it on craigslist. Its a 2000 with 80k with an unknown 65. longarm kit d44/8.8(thanks), 35's. Overall its a pretty nice tj, hes asking 11,900 but I think my brother is going to talk him down a little now since its not a 60. He already has 3 cars so I know he isnt going to buy it if hes not 100% happy with it. Anyway someone asked me for a pic of the front end so here it is. Thanks again for the clarification guys.

granted I can't see the whole vehicle, but there are not many 2000's that I would pay $11,900 for... heck even 1/2 that would be a lot for a rather medium built rig.

it would seem this dealer is thinking "it's custom, it's worth BIG $$$"

Ya I dont know the pricing on tj's i've always owned an xj but it looks pretty nice and its got some work done to it.

its nice. but not $11,900 nice

 

[jeeperjohn]

It looks nice in the pics but I would be hesitant to go over $8K for it.

He ended up passing on it and buying this. Im not gonna lie, its no xj but im still super jealous.

That's about the only newer Jeep I'd consider replacing my XJ with. I've always liked the TJ Unlimiteds.

 

[Trail Ready]
