Looking for a reliable bolt in rear axle for your xj?
look no further.
I built this with "not breaking" in mind. and so far so good. I have daily driven it on 36's and 37's and recently 35's. 5.38 gears with 35's are quite sexy on the street btw.
You won't be able to build this axle for this price, but will entertain offers and possible trades for xj suspension,armor,doodads.
lets go down the list shall we...
housing: semifloat dana 60-2 from a 1974 international. from what i believe is a travelall 200 ( i have been told these are also the housings put under late 70's mopar muscle cars)
gears: 5.38 yukon ring and pinion, master intstall kit featuring timken bearings
locker: strange engineering 35 spline full spool
axles: moser alloy 35 spline (10 year warranty against breakage at the splined end)
cover: solid axle industries hd cover
brakes: caddilac eldorado calipers (will lock up 37's on dry pavement at 40 mph, too scared to try it at faster speeds) with functioning e-brake and chevy half ton pickup brake rotors. will include e-brake cables to work with up to a 96 xj
doodads:
timken tapered roller bearings (set 10) wheel bearings
ruffstuff antiwrap spring perches
1310 u bolt style u joint yoke
lubelocker gasket
6 lug (chevy, toyota, fullsize jeep)
wms-wms is around 62"
The axle was geared by myself in November 2007 and has about 30k miles on it, so you arent getting some fresh gearjob that could have possibly been thrown together to sell the axle, and will fail prematurely.
the bottom is "shaved" so to say. not by choice, but by dragging it over rocks the past 2 years. its right to the bottom of the lowest bolt hole. (no longer use that bolt) seals just fine. there is still plenty of housing thickness left.
This particular housing originally used inner and outer wheel seals and kept the wheel bearing sealed in grease, but i had issues with the wheel bearing lasting. I did some research and in 1975 international used the same housing and just ditched the inner seal (so the bearings were lubed via gear oil) i ditched the inner seal and havent had a problem since. but when the old wheel bearings went they damaged the seal surface on the shaft. I repaired the shafts with "speedi sleeves" they are a permanent repair for damaged seal surfaces.
it uses standard xj dana44 wheel bearings and seals, as well as commonly found brake parts, so parts are available at most any parts store if you need something in a pinch.
I will include all receipts I have as well as a sheet telling exactly what each part is and the part number to that corresponding part.
Pickup in Northwest RI or will possibly meet or deliver for a fee later to be determined. would like to avoid shipping.
$1350 or best
edit: heres a terrible pic
