My post from 5/17/04: Now that I bought a dana 44 with 4.56 gears & detroit locker already installed and put it in my jeep, I can reveal where I've seen xj/mj dana 44's. I know that James Auto Wreckers in Antelope, CA.
There address is:
James Auto Wreckers & Used Cars Inc.
8640 Antelope N Rd
Antelope, CA 95843
(800) 822-3312
(916)969-1223
(916)725-2171
Talk to Brad.
I believe they had a few fairly recently. This place is right next to J&W Auto Wreckers that thinks that they can get $800 or more for an original non-rebuilt dana 44. Those people really are a little crazy with their prices, I guess they just like getting more and more jeeps and not selling stuff to people who know what things are worth. Jack quoted me $350 for an xj 1, but he said if I wanted and picked it up now, he'd sell it for $250. He also said he had mj dana 44, but these are spring under. The xj dana 44 was out of a 87 burgandy red xj somewhat hidden in the front right area as you come into the yard, or just go to the front desk and ask for it. Just passing on the word, hope someone finds this jem and uses it for some wheeling.

Update 8/2/04: Per my post from 2-3 months ago: there is still 1 more dana 44 axle in a dark red burgandy 87' laredo at James Autowreckers. It has 160K miles, auto with 3.54 gears, looks to be in good shape eventhough the xj looks like it was in a rollover. This is the 1 I saw on 2 other occasions within a year period or so that I've been going to that yard. Ask for Brad and tell him the Big guy sent you. I told him I'm in the cherokee club and people should be coming his way soon. You should be able to get it for $250-300 if you play Brad right. He made me go looking around the yard for another dana 44 xj before he would pull the 1 for Nate, my brother-in-law because he just got it in and it still had the engine in it. I was :shocked: to see the dana 44 in a very clean xj limited as I came into the yard, both dana 44's have limited slips in them too. Get it quick, I want to see this in 1 of my xj bros rigs and not in this yard anymore, come on guys 1 of you wants 1. Cannot beat the price. Yes that's right at James autowreckers in Antelope off Antelope rd 2 yards down from J&W who want $850 for a dana 44 xj axle in there yard less than 100 yards away!!! Jeep is in the right fenced yard when you come into the place behind the parking lot fence. Sorry for the long post, but I hope to make someone really :guitar:
