I have a friend thats in the market for an 8.8, ill pass the word along. i might consider it also

i use to have a Ranger......

And I'd take a 9" over a 8.8 any day!

being in Greensboro is a plus though since i drive through there twice a week from Winston to Raleigh

hmm well....the high pinion 9" uses and 8.8 r&p....and as far a a standard 9" , alot of people don't like them cause the pinion is low. If your running fairly stock drivetrain in an XJ your not going to break a 44 or a 9" not without some real beating on it. By the way...just bought 10, 8.8s will take $275 for any of them...

Im still on the lookout for an axle or even a set of matching axles if i can find a good set. keep a lookout for me if you are planning a trip to the boneyard.

being in college limits the time to look, and and means to transport stuff from the yard

 

[NCSUcherokee]

well damn after reading my post again, if i dont have enough time to find the axles i wont have enough time to get them set up. plus my friend that does my welding is sans welder right now.

Ghost- do you still have a line on one of those axles?

Stroked- what about those 8.8s?

 

[Ghost]

Yep....

I'll try and go get some pictures tomorrow or the next couple of days.

Stroked,
What does the 8.8's come with? Disc Brakes? What gears are in them 3.55, 4.10? I would be interested in one of them.
Thanks
Ken

I dunno what Greg has in his 8.8 collection, but IIRC they came in 3.55, 3.73, and 4.10 depending which model Exploder they were hauled from.

If your serious about getting a new rear axel go tell Grant Douglas. You will find him in the NC State Engineering bldg almost any evening working on the Baja car. Engineering office can give you directions to the lab.
He has a number of friends in the XJ business that come and go quite often and may be able to hook you up with something.
