I recently found a set of solid axles out of a 95 (not sure what model)they have discs f/r thats all I know for now my brother is checking them out better.I was wondering if anyone knows what they could be,howstrong are they?,how much are they worth? would they be suitable for swaping into a wrangler?I can get them for 400$ and they come with a set of chrome wheels.

DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!! rover axles SUCK MAJOR ASS. think toyota birfields excpet 1/2 the strength.

they have a D30 sized ring gear
1.21" 24 spline shafts
a WEIRD bolt pattern (5 on 6.5)
expensive (very!) upgrades- a pair of HD rear axles runs $600, ring and pinions are $250 each and you cant go lower than 4.7:1- which is a very weak R/P setup. "HD" Birfields are $1500/pair and are still very weak.

so DONT DO IT!!! save your money and get some 44s or 60s.

If they are complete and out of a 95 rangie (vented front discs) they could net you a few bucks.

Going rate seems to be 500 for a front and 200-300 for a rear.

fwiw

Hey,

If they come with the front calipers let me know. I need a set of vented rotor brake calipers for a project.

I'm in Portland, maybe we could get together and trade some money/parts????
