A single aftermarket crate assembly is worth more than the car usd 3,500 (with locker) before shipping. I am showing my ignorance, but can a d44 from a Wrangler be modded to fit on an XJ?
No, Australia didn’t get XJ’s with factory Dana 44’s. A TJ Dana 44 is the same width etc so just need old brackets removed, spring perched welded on, gearing etc and your done.
Considering the price of used TJ dana 44’s I’ll probably settle on a explorer 8.8 if I can’t find an 8.25 for an ok price.
I have been looking too , haven't found anything either , was considering the 8.8 as well, they are still a c clip but they do eliminator kits for them and stronger axles ......
Is there any way that the rear d35 can be strengthened through the addition of say, new axle shafts and a different carrier within the diff housing? Surely there is something aftermarket out there....
The d44 axle is the same thickness as the d35, right?
