: did any XJ's come with a dana 44? SkaerE 08-08-2002, 06:26 PM or are they all dana 30's? how strong are the dana 30's compared to a toyota axle? (im only looking at the coil over suspension axles.) thanks Jason R 08-08-2002, 06:51 PM nope just the crappy ass 30's. SeanP 08-08-2002, 07:58 PM Are you looking at Toyota LC (FJ80)? That would be a sweet axle. SeanP hy_desert_4wheeler 08-08-2002, 08:01 PM Some XJ's DID come with 44's but not very many.. I had one with a FACTORY 44 Jason R 08-08-2002, 09:14 PM hes talking about Front Axles. :flipoff2: Jeepmangled87 08-08-2002, 10:47 PM some had rear 44's if they had the towing package, but none had a front Dana 44 Josh 89XJ 08-08-2002, 10:54 PM Wrong! South American XJs had them as a factory option. The last time I was overseas in France, I took a look at an XJ in Nice and it had a factory D44 front too. Good luck getting one here though.

That's the first i'v heard of one in Europe, but i dont doubt it. I just checked Currie's site, they took the ad down. They bought the XJ export 44 front axle "overruns" from Dana that were still in this country. I'v also talked to someone who works for Dana, there are crated front 44's in a warehouse in South America, but we cant find the location of this warehouse. However, this front 44 is not worth looking for in my opinion. It's all D30 out from the Diff. You'd be better off swapping a Waggy or Ford HP inder your XJ.

Same outers and everything. At least build your own D44 or 9" front and have real hubs. BillaVista 08-11-2002, 02:40 PM Just FYI, There was a fellow at our summer Jambo with a TJ from New Hampshire, that had that "export" front 44. He ordered it up from Drivetrain Direct. Now, he said they said it came from Canada - but I KNOW that's an error - coz they were never offered in Canada. But, if one really wanted one, DTD might have one or be able to source one. But I'm with the others, a Ford RCD44 would be a much better option. Sillyneck 08-11-2002, 03:16 PM yea many canadian xj's have 44 fronts. evilpsych 08-19-2002, 12:46 AM here's another Q relating to the D44 rears found stock in XJs.. are the spring pads further apart than those found on YJs? figured that if they were close enough they'd be awesome candidates for SOA swaps.. already perched and everything.. if not.. it would be a small matter to re-weld on the perches.. already the right width... bigdude 08-19-2002, 05:46 AM Originally posted by evilpsych here's another Q relating to the D44 rears found stock in XJs.. are the spring pads further apart than those found on YJs? figured that if they were close enough they'd be awesome candidates for SOA swaps.. already perched and everything.. if not.. it would be a small matter to re-weld on the perches.. already the right width... SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flipoff2: PooterXJ 08-19-2002, 10:49 AM D30 seems to hold up just fine with our 35-37's down here. only real issue has been the u-joints, but the 297x is the same as a D44 isn't it? but I do have to say I fawkin hate these full time hubs. EB D44 swap won't be soon enough though.:flipoff2: | |
