My friend is getting rid of an old Mercedes Unimog and it has portal axles. Can I use those for a cherokee?

If he cant sell it he was goin to part it out. Thats why I was wondering if I could use them. He wants a couple thousand for it.

They run $9K each for mercedes unimog 404 axles and that's complete. That was the lowest price I've found anywhere (unless you want rusted out mogs).

The owner of it is very redneck, no offense, and he just wants to get rid of it. He has a bunch of other trucks in his yard. There is one in the next town for about $10000.

Look at XJDB.com and near the end of the XJ pages there is a XJ on unimogs. We are getting some axles in around $2500 for the pair with the pinion conversions. Unimogs are not expensive, look on ebay you can find them in good shape for around $6000. You can get them from Germany for about $1000-$2000 ex military, shipping is around $2000. I say get them, what better axles do you need. Actualy just get the unimog and put the 4.0 in it, thats my dream.

you can buy complete running 404's for less than that on ebay.
Mog axles are cool and all and plenty tough, but volvo portals are the bomb and streetable. but for the amount of money you would spend on the mog axles(brackery, disc conversion, mog lockers aren't exactly cheap either) i'd look at doing some custom ones using toyota center sections and hummer boxes.

it runs has a warn 9500 on the front and could drive all the way home (at 50 mph and 3.15 per gallon)
9000 for a 404 axle. pfffffh
