So the front D44 has to be available through the dealership - has anybody part numbers or even prices?

oddly optioned xj's

I almost bought a 96 sport with very little options on it, but it had the 242 and the premium sound system. It must have been special ordered because everything else on it was just what came with the sport package. It was also Moss Green, which I thought was only available on the Countrys.
I also looked at a 98 sport 2wd/5 speed with every available option you could think of on it. It too must have been special ordered. I liked it, it was very quick with the 2wd and the 5 speed but I didn't want a 2wd XJ so I passed. I bet it got pretty good gas mileage. Maybe I should have bought it.

There were no XJ D44s available in 1990. There may have been some in 89, but I haven't seen evidence for that. MJs were available with 44s through 92, their last year.88XJSport said:
There's a rumor that MJ metric tonne models in South America had a D44 front and D60 rear, though I haven't seen proof of this either. That would be some find, though, if it exists!88XJSport said:

They're spring-under, and their brakes have a height-sensing proportioning valve. Other than that, I think they're the same as XJ D44s.falcon556 said:

Bigger than what? Aren't XJ and MJ D44 brakes both 10"x2.5"? Or do you mean bigger than a D35 or 8.25?87manche said:

I never got a VIN for this, and it has been a long time, so I don't remember who owns it anymore. But the one and only owner of this MJ chimed in to confirm that it did indeed have a Hp 44 front, and a Semi 60 rear, straight from the factory. You can see the big pumpkin of the 60 hangin' under there.

That is a BADICAL mj!!!!
Except for the gay diff protector.
He needs to cutt the front fender under the bumper out up to the top of the bumper fpr tire clearance, but it looks like he doesnt flex it that much. If there is such a model as this one it is a rare. And worth keeping clean. ..............Then again id rip it up.
YAYAH to the CON!!!

The diesel is pretty rare, I didn't think you could get those in the States. How's MPG? What t-case?
Iheartmyheep:
ABS didn't come on the 8.25s at least the earlier ones so that's not too weird. You have a pretty well upgraded Laredo model which had a certain amount of ways you could go with it almost making it a Limited if you optioned it out with all the goodies, maybe not everything but close. I know that with the Grand Cherokee Laredos you can upgrade to leather seats or even power cloth seats.
The overhead counsel is nice, I'd do that in my stripped down 98' Sport, but there isnt that much headroom as it is and I'm 6' 3" so I might not want that. Also I might go with Grand Cherokee leather seats eventually and those take about another inch of headroom when you bolt them to the Cherokee seat brackets.
There sure is a lot of variation with our Jeeps, oh well, at least they kept the AW4 auto tranny 87'+ and the 4.0L and 231 or 242 t-case...you cannot go wrong with that combo. :cheers:

There is a difference between those 2 years, the later years being a little more cramped. This is my 1st 97'+ and I have a 87' and 91' and there is more room in the older ones.

Now that explains it, thanks.
You don't exactly see them driving around the States now do you? If you did, it'd be very rare.

It's not going to affect head room unless you make it a habbit to sit on your center console.....
