Need Help With Solid Axle Swap - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Chaos2084 · 06-03-2008, 09:08 PM

So I have a chance to get some axles for free not sure what they are from I was told a earlier 80's Jeep Cherokee. But haven't had a chance to if it is a wagoneer or not. I was wondering if they where a CHerokee whould it work for a Axle Swap? If they have a driver side drop and all. I was told they where dana 44's also still not to sure about anything really haven't seen them myself. Just need information about all of this.. I have a 2000 Xterra

If they are 44's then its out of a grand waggy. If its a XJ(small cherokee) then it would be a dana 30/35 maybe a 44(highly unlikely).

Could also be wide track axles from a Full Size Cherokee. About 4-5 inches wider then the grand waggy.

You want a 80-92 Grand wagoneer. There all 6 lug. The grand name came out in 84 but juk yards normally call full size wagoneers grands. There is a cheerokee cheif full size that is wider and a small wagoneer that looks like a cheerokee. Confused. Just stay away from the 5 lug stuff. Its all dana 30 stuff.

Just make sure its 6 lug and 80+. 79 and older are pass drop.

Well that helps alot thank you very much. I haven't even had a chance to go over and look at it yet. But hopefully it will all work out. Nothink like Free Diff's Front and Rear and a Transfer Case, well kind of free just got to help a friend pull the engine out.
