Ford 8.8 out of a 98 Ford Explorer
complete from rotor to rotor
disk brakes
Ebrake cables still attatched (cut the cable below the rear door)
has all hard and soft brake lines and in great condition
3.73 Ford Gears
Open carrier (required for a lunch box locker)
C-clip eliminator
has the flange needed to attatch driveshaft (stock ford flange from the driveshaft) no need for a companion flange
diff fluid was good color, with no burnt smell, free of metel particles. the junkyard pierced the cover to drain (idiots) and plugged with a rubber plug. I cleanned up the wound and welded it closed, but a new cover would be highly advised (Desert Fab and RoughStuff are great sources for a new cover)
you might be saying that you would love to swap in an 8.8 (comperable in strength to a Dana 44, same bolt patern as XJs) but you know that the 8.8 is spring under while we are spring over. No problem. if you purchase this axle, purchase new spring perches and shock mounts, I will weld them on for you and remove the stock sway bar brackets for an additional $40- with your help in measuring for QC purposes. (ask Kracker, WoundedXJ or Bigassalex about my welding)
updated price: if your name is in RED or GREEN, $300 for the axle and i weld on it for you for no extra charge. for those with BLACK usernames, $300 for the axle, $340 for the axle and welding services.
