Tomorrow some friends and I will be taking out the rear axle in my rig and putting another one in. The jeep came with a dana 44 from a grand cherokee that was swapped in, and were putting in a 8.25 from a 2001 xj. I have 2 questions. Were that any modifications from swapping in the axle from...

I should have got these details up earlier, but was tight on time. My 93 XJ came with a dana 44 when I bought it, previous owner swapped it in. That axle was giving me problems, so I picked up a 8.25 out of a 95 cherokee for pretty cheap. Had a shop change the gears and put new bearings in. And...

Taking an axle out, putting another one in.

It's going to be the rear.

This will be my first time doing this. It should be fairly straight forward doing so, I just like having something to follow. :patriot:

Was going for another d44 out of a older Cherokee, but all the ones in Texas are far away and pretty pricey. I'll opt with the 8.25. Now I've read some things about there not being many locking options for the 8.25, but I just did a search for lockers and there are quite a few results. I don't...

The guy I bought mine from took it down to Belize for a few months. He had some very awesome stories. Took anything and everything he might need on the way there. Installed a lockbox in the back and packed it with tools and parts. Had an air compressor and plugs are any tire problems. Best thing...

Finding one is going to be fun.

I'm gonna start looking for a 44 and get my jeep out of that place. There's no way I'm paying $2900. I picked up this jeep for $3300. It's not my DD. The day that happened was an eventful day. I woke up and my DD that I take back and fourth to school had a flat and wouldn't hold air, but I had...

They had the cover off when I went in today and all the gears are torn up. I'd like to stick with the 44. It's treated me well.

Other day driving home my axle shaft completely came out. The bearing was in 1000 pieces, noticed the axle was completely dry with no fluid. Not sure where the fluid went, had the axle serviced a month ago and whether or not they refilled it, i dont know. That's besides the point now. Had to get...

My rig has been in much longer drives, just not as me as the owner. The previous owner drove it to Belize and back over the course of half a year. And he made the trip with it having around 150k. His stories from his trip were quite amazing.

Any ideas on how to mount a flag to the back? I don't have a trailer hitch/receiver.

Thanks for the advice. I'll do everything listed and take some extra fluids/tools. And yes, I will be taking it into the sand. Taking my jeep to the beach and not having fun while there wouldn't feel right. I rarely get to go wheeling anymore since going to college.

So far it looks good. I've put on about 500 miles since fixing the head gasket. I'll give everything a good inspection and top off everything! I'm probably more paranoid because I've never driven it this far, and it's really not that far (140 miles). Haha
