ford 8.8 set up for xj

[rwallace]

this axle is open and i have no clue what gears are in it. i was gonna use it but once again i've changed my mind so now i want to get rid of it for my next project (idea). it doesn't have calipers or hardlines but does have drums. it is really clean and it must have been out of something newer. i've already flipped the perches and shock mounts. all you need to do is bolt it up. first $125 takes the cake.

 

[rwallace]

sorry it has rotors. i'm a retard.

What did it come out of?

 

[rwallace]

explorer early i think

 

[AznDrgn]

how much to ship it to 22801? Got any pics? Is there a tag on the diff cover?

 

[rwallace]

no tag on diff, i'll try to get pics. and i'm willing to drive up to an hour or so to meet unless you really just want to ship. i'll check for you though.

Hey Rob,
I'm in the market for a good rear axle for my project, but I'd like to know what gears it has. Can we get together sometime and open it up and see what gears it has? Is this the axle Doug had?

 

[rwallace]

no this is a different axle from dougs. we can get together and open it up anytime. i'd actually really like to know how to tell. so the answer is hell yeah! you can see how it's set up as it is currently underneath my jeep. i might even be able to snag you some 3.73's to through in there.

throw. don't make fun. stupidity is a terrible disease.

Good grammer. I'll PM my cell # and maybe we can get together sometime Sunday evening or possibly Tuesday afternoon.

 

[rwallace]

either one works. i'lll give you a call.

Mark the rotor with chalk, turn the pinion yoke one full turn while counting the turns of the rotor.

Its probably a 4.10 or 3.73

 

[rwallace]

well that just makes sense. ok cool. i'll check it out.
