[Brett J]

Hey guys,

I need perferably, an 8.25 axle with 29 spline axle shafts. I live in Littleton CO and would really appreciate one that is in good shape. Can anyone help me? Thanks

The junkyards in Denver are full of late model xj's with 29 spl 8.25's.

Yea thats probably what I will end up doing. I just wanted to see if there were some that were taken care of. Lol thanks though.

Dood......... the majority of the Jeeps in the junk yards from the Cash for Clunkers deal are in much nicer shape than the rigs many of us drive daily.......

Colorado Auto Salvage yard off of Santa Fe and Ratcliff have close to 10 97+ with 8.25 under them still. I think they wanted $150 but I don't recall exactly. Take some boots though...its a mud pit right now. Yella is right, some of those rigs are in great shape...8.25's on them still look clean and purdy.

[Brett J]

wow thanks guys. I appreciate that!

I have a 29 spline 8.25 under my 2000 right now 136k miles, open diff 3.55s I am swapping it with another one that has 4.10s in it next week... So if you arent in a hurry, I will have one soon, i would take $150 for it. PM me if you are interested, I am also in Littleton at Wads and 470

[Brett J]

How long would it take?

[smalls2010]

Ok I have a date - next Thursday night I will begin the swap... so I would say you could come get it Thursday night around 6 oclock. Or anytime after that which is convenient for ya

[Brett J]

Thanks for the offer. however I think I will be going to the junkyard tomorrow to grab one. Thanks though. I let you know if anything changes ok.

8.25's are hard to give away, I sold one on ebay after having it posted here and colorado4x4 for a long time, it sold for $1.00 then the last one I had I just took to the scrap yard I might have got a few bucks out of it. Unless your just in a big need of one I would wait around a bit and pick one up for a few bucks. If your going to take the time to pull one I would get an 8.8 instead. Just an idea....

Well played sir.

Is a '97+ 8.25 much better than my '93 axle? I know it has 2 more splines, but is the axle shaft diameter any larger?
If it's a substantial upgrade, i'd give $100 for it.

Welcome Mike!!
Yes the 2 additional splines make for a stronger axle and the 29 spline shafts are larger.
