Weekend is over...what did you get done?

There's a front skid on that last one.

I'm sure somebody around here could use a front skid.

The 44 out of that grand waggy would be nice too

My brother got dive bombed by a deer.....he was running 80 in his civic on the interstate

Took it pretty well. $200 in parts and it was rolling again....the fender and bumper are still in primer! :roflmao:

 

[xjtrailrider]

well in that case...

I could have that one driving in no time if the frame is solid

I think you should bring it home. Your wife won't mind one bit.

That looks like a Nate body swap special.

Someone needs to come get the body out of my yard.

It's got a good fuel filter on it if that's what you're asking.

Really? I picked it up for $200 cause it was taking up space in a guys garage. I figured it was a good find but I didn't think I won the lottery. It does have the retarded Trac-Loc system.

Edit: just saw you were from Knoxville. Hello from a fellow ktown XJ owner!

If I happen across another one you can have it for free. This swap has been a f-ing nightmare. Got it in Thursday night around 2AM. Tried to drive to work friday morning in the ice storm and the rear axle seized up on me and sent me spinning on 75-south. Nearly killed me. Spent all weekend tearing it down and trying to figure out what had happened. I'm still clueless.

I don't know why people put that kind of money on an XJ 44 when a 29 spline 8.25 is pretty damn close to the same strength (and actually exceeds 44 strength in some areas...) and an 8.8 is about the same too and can be swapped for under 500 all day long. They are kinda cool I guess.

Agreed. The guy I bought it from went 8.8 and just had it sitting there. I only run 32's and have more of an overland rig. Figured the D44 would be a perfect fit. If i was going bigger I would have just stepped up to the 8.8 most likely.

i work at topside powersports if you need a hand....i can get a lot of drivetrain parts through the office too

the 44 is on par with a 29 spline 8.25....the 8.8 rules all baby axles

i got the 8.8 for the buggy for 65$ im hoping i can find another for the 89
