Looking to trade my 8.8 already set up for an Xj for a 8.8 set up for an Xj. Mine has 4.88 gears, chromo shafts, full spool and c-clip eliminator. New brakes. Looking for one with 4.88 gears and either full case locker or open with lunchbox locker. I will add cash for full case locker. I am wanting something more streetable.

is it 5x4.5? direct swap?
would you be willing to sell it outright? if so, what would you be looking to get for it?

Yes its bolt in. I am not interested in selling it out right.

I'd think about it. Since I rarely DD my Jeep anymore it would be a good deal.

hmm I'll have to think about this one too, I don't DD mine anymore. the only difference is that I have 1.5" UBEs instead of normal perches.
What diff cover do you have on your 8.8"?

This may be a dumb question, but can you use stock shafts as spares with the c clip eliminators? In all likelyhood since I haven't broken a stock shaft I wouldn't break a chromo, but just wondering.
Seriously considering this swap, especially if we can swap diff covers. Currently I have a 8.8 out of an 02, disc brakes, 4.88s, Detroit Locker and Solid cover. Discs on yours?

If Byron doesn't end up wanting to do this, I'd be willing to think about it as well

You'd get your Jeep done a lot faster bringing in the axle you already have to a shop and getting it geared and locked then trying to trade for it.
I could use that hp30 you have but you don't want to seperate then after teasing us for 1/2 a day with a feeler thread.
Can you feel me? :gee:

Not in a hurry to get it done. I can drive it as is. I just dont care for the spool on road. I may still end up selling my axles if i cant find somebody to swap with me. I cant justify spending a grand to replace the spool with another locker.

Yeah that's crazy spending that kind of $ to get another locker when you have a spool. I hardly feel my spool in my 91' YJ with waggy 44s, 5.38s and 35" boggers. I like it better then a auto locker because you know what to expect from it. I'm putting a spool in another Wrangler with a 9" & 5.43 gears.
