WTB rear driveshaft For swb auto MJ 4x4 d44

[Goose_XJ88]

Hey guys. Like the title sys I'm starting my hunt for a rear driveshaft out of a swb MJ that was auto, 4x4, and had a d44.

I just pulled a factory MJ 44 for my project last weekend but the donor was a Lwb 2wd.

Any leads are appreciated. I'm living up in Sacramento area but occasionally visit my parents in Bakersfield. Let me know.

I think comanche club says the stock one is 41.25" long.

Aw4, 231/242, d44, swb

man.....i wish this was like a month ago....i got rid of one from a SWB MJ..... even had on here that someone could have it....guess thats why you horde parts lol....good luck with the search.

Dang. Yeh I was not expecting to find a MJ44 in the junkyard on halfprice weekend.

I was originally planning to just swap in my disc swapped 8.25 out of my 99 when I put my locked 44 under that rig.

Do you need a standard style slip yoke shaft? I have a custom one that was built by powertrain industries in gardena that I never used. I think it measures about 36-37"ish, but you could have it lengthened. It even has new 1310 joints in it. Let me know if this may work for you and if you are interested.

Yes, i just need a standard slip rear shaft. Wouldnt having the shaft lengthened pretty much be the same cost as having both ends and having them make a whole new shaft? Or do they actually just weld on an extension piece of metal?

Im just curious bc i have never tried to get pricing for shortening or lengthening a shaft before..... or know what goes into building either option

They will use the ends and make a whole new shaft

I've had it done but don't remember what it ran. IIRC it wasn't too bad.

I paid around 100$-120$ to have my MJ long bed rear DS lengthened. 60$ balancing, 50-60$ for the tube,

then I also did a YJ yoke at the time, and they charged me a ton for it like 65$ , so out the door I ended up paying like just under 200$ after tax and maybe a U joint or two.

I took them a stock rear XJ shaft I had gotten for free to have it lengthened.

Shortening it even cheaper, just cut and balance.
shortening should cost you around 60$.

Maybe that's what I'll do, just have my 2wd shaft shortened. Plan on keeping the 92 a street queen

shortening should be around 60$ then. Its not bad. West sacramento driveline . they are the best.
