It's very nice!!! (Borat)

 

[blondejoncherokee]

this d44 is now for sale if anyone is interested! its in my other thread.

 

[srmitchell]

I'll trade a dana 35, plus cash? Meaning, you pay me cash.

 

[connor0770]

just if i had the money =(

 

[blondejoncherokee]

i have a 4.88 complete dana 30 front.
open.

ill sell them as a package deal for 1350$....
ill be throwing in spare rear shafts that arent set up for discs
and maybe some spare front shafts as well...

 

[Mike1331]

That nine inch sound sexy, you best be stepping up the tire size then yes? 38's?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

the 9" is very nice.

my 30 on stock shafts (non cryo'd 4.88s) and a detroit true trac is the weak link now.

i plan on going to chromos up front for sure,
and maybe swapping in a full detroit...

or just swap in my spare open front end and chromos (no front locker) and just beat on it....

 

[Mike1331]

yeah i vote for the open 30 if your going to stick with 35's or taller. I love and have a great time beating on it worry free...i hate driving slow.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

although, at the same time, im not sure how much stronger/weaker a stock carrier is than the true track.

the downside is that i dont have traction going to both tires up front any more. i do like the ability of the front to pull....
i guess im worried about loosing some of the pull from the front on steep ledges...

but with the long arms, i am able to keep both my tires on the ground pretty easily anyway...

what will end up happening is ill throw in chromos up front and most likely run the front true trac until it explodes someday, then swap in the open front end (truss it in the meantime,and plate the uca and lca mounts) and get it ready for 37s which will just be killing time until i can get some 39 irocs ....

 

[blondejoncherokee]

and im hoping by the time i am ready for 39" irocs ill hopefully have found a used HP 9" front end with 35 spline chromos...

 

[blondejoncherokee]

thanks for the beer mike, i hope you dont have any issues swapping that HO intake and throttle body onto your junk.
so i really only want to sell the dana 44 , im gonna keep the dana 30.
850$ obo on the 44

 

[connor0770]

its a high pinion right, with stock shafts?

 

[Mike1331]

no prob man, thanks for all the parts. Seeing that nine was pure envy... Good luck selling the 44, i'm sure it will be gone right quick if you post it on pirate.
I prol won't get to the xj intake for a few weeks, trying to get a new cyl head onto my taco asap.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

[blondejoncherokee]
