jeepgoldeneagle 09-24-2002, 11:23 AM I have a buddy with a '86 CJ-7 w/dana 44 rear, 4.09 gears, and a detroit. He rolled the Jeep and would be willing to sell the rear for $100. I currently have the stock AMC 20 rear, 4.10 gears, gusseted housing, a detroit, and one pieces. Is it worth the $? Will i gain strength or are they about the same? Rokmycj 09-24-2002, 02:58 PM Hmm let me see: You will gain tube strength having the 44 but if your 20 is already gusseted then you relly won't gain. If I were you I would keep your money cause it's not worth it. You will lose the locker and the R&P in the 20 is bigger. I run a waggy 20 with 37's and haven't broken it yet (knock on wood), and lately I have been trying so I can upgrade it ( must prove to wife that upgrade is warranted) :D Save your money, or buy it and resell it for about $400. Someone would snag it up. Joe Grandpa Jeep 09-24-2002, 03:26 PM Sounds like about an even swap to me. I'd snag it anyway and resell it if it was me. MellowYellow 09-24-2002, 04:11 PM Telly your buddy it is worth more than $100. That way you keep your axle, your money, and your friend. :D JeepinDoug 09-24-2002, 07:19 PM Good advice MellowYellow madmarx 09-24-2002, 07:55 PM Originally posted by jeepgoldeneagle I have a buddy with a '86 CJ-7 w/dana 44 rear, 4.09 gears, and a detroit.
