D44

ARB-XJ · Feb 12, 2010

Finally decided to start the project of moving to 35" D44's and 4.56s

I have the op to buy a Cherokee D44 for $350, sounded like a good deal to me, just wanted other opinions. Stock gears. Didnt look at it yet but doesnt look too rusty, out of at 87'

Price seems about right. Locally they're about 250-350$ here.

I'd focus on getting/fabbing a front 44 first, a litter harder to get.

I think it's a bit on the high side but there so rare it's nit like you can shop around, I'd try and get it for $300 if you can. I got mine for $80 but that was just dumb luck at the junk yard. Whatever you end up doing good luck on the build!

for that price, it better be delivered.
people who say d44's are rare need to get off their asses and get to the junkyard!

Would be a hell of a deal for a front 44. Anyone know how many were sold to our closest neighbor to the south?

Honestly I think it would be better to pick up an 8.25 for $100 or so and put a detroit and alloys in it and disk brakes and you will have an awesome axle for under $1K.

Front or rear? The front I have no idea. For the rear, you could get 3 for that price here in South Florida at a Pick and Pull.

For a stock, D44 out of an older style Cherokee, across Massachusetts -- the price seems to be 250-350. My brother works at a yard near Worcester, and his lowest price for me was 200, with a family discount.

A lot of the time, you might be better off looking through Craigslist. You can often find the axle for around 100$.

Here in MI I got mine for $200 off CL. I live in the U.P. and junk yards are far and few between so the price was fair to me.

Everything is only worth what you'll pay for it.

I got the d44 with 4.56s on 35s. Wishing I went with 4.88s now. The 4.56s were great with 33s. But now I have to downshift going up the hills again. Lacking power.
