My brother needed some seats for his old Blazer so I took him out for his first trip to the pick n pull. We found some nice seats for him and while I was there I found one of the elusive XJ dana 44 rear axles !!!!! And with my 30% off coupon it cost me only $99. I should help him more often.

It's been there over a month, I keep telling people to go get it, but....
Glad someone is going to put it to good use. :)

They gave me a coupon book up front at the check out register because someone had taken an axle shaft out of the xj dana 44. So I used the 30% coupon for the 44 and the 15% coupon for my brother seats. Now I just need to find a passenger side axle shaft. The coupon book was a summer promotion, so ask up front and maybe they will give you one. Or wait till the next 50% off sale.

That is a sweet deal, i got mine for $65 because they thought it was a 8.25. mine was missing the drums. You can get a shaft from Six states.

Hi, Dana clueless here, how do you tell if its a 44?

There is an xj here (State Street Auto, Springville) that I believe has that same axle. It looks HUGE compared to a 30 say from under a Cherokee.

Wants $5oo, but would save huge amounts of headscratching or Fab work, if it is a 44.

why don't you just order up some alloys then carry the one for a spare.aren't both shafts the same lenght?

That is most likely what I will do, the shafts however are not the same length so I would need two spares. Maybe I can "borrow" my son in law's 44 axle shaft that has been sitting in my garage for months, maybe he won't notice.

The XJ 44 he's referring to is a rear. Sorry. All XJs had dana 30s in the front.

Yup! You SHOULD help him more often... his blazer needs some serious TLC.... then next time you're out at the pick-n-pull maybe you could find something fancy for his beautiful daughter's bright purple TJ... ;) ;)

Well there are lots of minivans out there, maybe we could cut your jeep through the center and add a van section so you could haul more of your friends around. :)

Naw.... if I needed a mini van I have ready access to one that is sitting out in the driveway waiting for my little brother to learn how to drive it! ;) Although... you might be able to convince him we could splice it with an old jeep and make it way mega super cool! :).... :ugh: ...Yeah, probably wouldn't go for it... :rofl:
