Ramsey said:came across a 8.8 from an expedition, it was 50$. did i make a huge mistake in passing up on it? are these just as strong, any downsides?
Ramsey said:i know it is full size, personally i like the full width look stance and added stabilty. no really tight spots here or fender laws. oh well, guess i should have got it.
rdx4me said:I have a 1990 XJ 4x4, are there any beefier rear ends that are pretty much a bolt-in or are they all going to require welding? Mine sounds like a rock grinder at any speed... If I were going to go through all the trouble of welding spring perches, etc, etc, which would be the better choice? I do not want to swap out the front axle.

Nope, the D44 is rare even in the 87. It's virtually a drop-in replacement though if you find one. The gear ratio may be 3.07, 3.54 or possibly 3.73 so make sure you verify it before dropping the Jeep in 4wd.rdx4me said:So all 1987 XJ's have a D44 in them? Would the gears be the same as stock 1990? There are a few here in a local salvage yard. I can go check out the year this week...

Ugh...all that work to add ABS? Thanks for the correction, but WHY do that??formatt said:Hey Jim.. that's not entirely true. I just read not too long ago on Pirate that there was some shop that did get the Explorer ABS to work just fine in an XJ. It sounded like it was quite a bit of work but.. i guess anything is possible.
