thats pretty fortunate, send me some pics if you can... i have my connections but they all know the value of these kind of "treasures" so i really don't get lucky often..... i usually just get my replacement parts for free....
i had to fix me Exhaust manifold and i got one free (ended up getting 2 more also free)..... power steering pump free, d-shafts, control arms, starters, alts, and even 2 sets of axles and a tranny, all free.... the red lift shackles as you can see in the picture, those were also free.... so i get lucky sometimes but this axle was too nice to pass-up and $90 was more than a decent price

I found a D44 under a 2wd 90 Comanche a couple of months back. I was driving through Birmingham and decided to stop at the Pull A Part for a quick scavenger hunt. There it sat with 3.55 LSD just waiting to be pulled. Problem was I did not have time to remove it because I was on my way to Mississippi for a job and knew there was no way it would still be there a week later when I came back through. Well I stopped anyway just to check and a short time later that baby was in the back of my work van headed for home. I still have not installed it yet because the MJs are spring under, so I will have to get new spring perches and shock mounts. But at least I got it before someone else did.

I got mine complete drum to drum for a little over $100 including the driveshaft. Besides the spring perches, I'm kind of waiting until I can regear it, lock it, and do the disc brake conversion before I put it in. It's much easier to do all those mods when it's up on a work bench.

very sure it was an 86, the guy i bought it from bought owned the original 86 it was in and played for a little while and then parted it out for cash and other projects, he recently upgraded to full width axles (ford HP D44 front and ford 9" rear) and this was the leftover axle from his rig
ya got a nice lookin pair of jeeps there and i think its cool that you can share the jeep hobby/life with your boys
