Didn't sell yet. I haven't really advertised it. I am going to this month. I have to fix some annoying little things, like touch up the hammerite on the bumpers, sliders and wheels, and maybe clean the dog hair out.
If I would have know that the IH community sold there axles so cheap, I would have never gone the upgrade route and just bolted in the 44's. I mean really, who can beat a set of 44's for 250.00? About 5 hours of fabbing for the mounts, and another 600.00 for lockers and your done. That adds up to the cost of on axle upgrade.
Selling the rangie will clear the way for the Fzj or fj80 that will be the next project. Call it sacrilege if you want, I call it seeing the light. 6500.00 for a complete vehicle with lockers, 100 inch wheelbase, and ready for 35's with MINOR lift... Oh, and no more lucas.. hmmm

I had a set of scout II D44 I tried to sell for $200 and no one bought them. I gave them away.
No one wants them as rotors are crazy money.

i have a d44 front end in my toyota. i prefer the toyota axle. what about the whole full time 4wd/ujoint issue? albeit ujoint take me a grand total of 30 minutes to change out on the trail, i usually eat an axle with the joint :( .
if you cut 4 inches from the long side and 1.5 inches from the short side of a chevy 44, you can use waggy long inners and 79 dodge short side shafts. all junkyard parts and the wms is 62".

In the town where the IH's were built, IH parts are dirt cheap. But, not that cheap.

Scout rotors are 60.00 ea :confused: The full sized p/u and T-all rotors are 450.00 ea. But you just swap to chebby or dodge outers and it's no problamo.
