$1500.00 for a 44??
Anyone know why these are so cheap
http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.as...4&partID=15586 I mean $1479.00 for a complete front 44 with locker is pretty cheap. How does the locker work on rubicons? Says for TJ YJ and CJ owners, but mounting into those is responsibility of owner, well no kidding, but what would work and not work if going into a CJ? I'm swapping my frame, have narrow track on CJ now, but also have wide track axles that came under new frame, was going to switch to wide track, but to do that I have to get and install 4.10s and inner cromoly axle shafts, about $600.00. So just wondered how bolt in this would be, and no I'm not worried about it being 61", I'd probably get a 9" for rear then. I'm not worried either about doing the swap, I've done 2 YJ rears, 9" and 8.8, and had my 30 and 20 out and apart. All I want to know is how far off working in a CJ this would be, steering, powering locker etc.??? Greg |

It's an e-locker like the Eaton, just give it juice to lock. > Says for TJ YJ and CJ owners, > but mounting into those is responsibility of owner, well no kidding, > but what would work and not work if going into a CJ? Got me there. |

Surely sounds good to me, other than the housing is on the wrong side,
but for that price we could swap tubes. I don't really know how strong they are though, like the Japanese gear that only fits that 44, like will it hold a real engine?

That might be why the others cost a bit more. Also keep in mind that the JK D44 front axle has the small tubes like the D30. The rear, on the other hand, is stronger than a normal D44, huge tubes (like D60) and a larger pinion shaft. |
